7 Pro Tips
1
Set 06:55 alarm—Longmen slots vanish by 07:05 Sat–Sun.
2
Peony off-peak photos—enter 16:00 slot; golden-hour blooms + thinner queues.
3
Multi-device push—desktop + phone on same Wi-Fi ups success rate at drop time.
4
Offline safety—screenshot every QR; Yi-River cliffs and mountain ridges have patchy data.
