The two top trail was closed which is YanZiKou Trail (until 17 Oct) and Baiyang trail (until Dec). Then we decided to go Lushui trail and ShakaDang Trail and we departed. After the YanZikou Trail, the view is even more breathtaking. The marble rock along the road like a roof which seem that will fall soon.
