7 Pro Tips

1
Dual alarms – 06:57 & 06:59 for Cableway drop; passport # on clipboard.
2
Wulong rail hack – Grab 07:02 CRH (CQ North → Wulong); scenic shuttle meets that train.
3
Fog factor – Longgang glass-skywalk is clearest 09:30–11:00—check live cam in app.
4
Backup QR – Save each e-ticket as PDF/JPEG—mobile data can drop inside karst valleys.
5
Cableway security – No liquids allowed; buy ¥5 water at Nanbin Road station after scan.
