6 Pro Tips

1
Museum first entry at 09:00 avoids school groups – keep passport handy at turnstiles.
2
Gushan: go AM for shade – buy separate cableway on site to skip the longest queue.
3
Sanfang Qixiang: paid houses get busy after 14:00 – photograph façades early, tour interiors late; check which venues are currently free per the 2025 notice.
4
Sanjiangkou Botanical Garden: book a sunset slot – parking and entry guidance live inside the official account's appointment page.
