· Buddha's Hand Sky Ladder: Climb to the top for a panoramic view of Fuxishan. The S-shaped asphalt road paired with a low angle creates a highway blockbuster feel.

💡Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
1. The mountaintop is windy and has significant temperature differences, so a windproof jacket is essential; apply sunscreen and mosquito repellent, especially in summer to prevent insect bites.
2. Fewer people enter after 16:00, and horses are more available, connecting perfectly with the golden hour of sunset.
3. Camping is allowed with your own tent (on the grass next to the Red House, in a sheltered spot), tent rental is 98 RMB/night, open fires are prohibited.
4. Don't navigate directly to the Little Horse Plateau parking lot, as the route might be inaccurate. Navigating to "Fuxishan Tourist Area" is more reliable.
