Travel strategy

First of all, prepare the equipment. A pair of hiking shoes is a must, preferably a pair of military yellow rubber shoes. Remember not to wear leather shoes. Next is a sportswear outfit. Pure cotton with dark colors is preferred. Remember to wear daily clothes and do not use leggings when climbing in high places. Finally, a backpack. It contains enough food for going up the mountain. Remember not to buy food on the mountain.

Because the food on the mountain is carried by cargo owners from down the mountain, it is very expensive. The main food is water, but don’t bring too much mineral water. Mountain climbing mainly consumes physical energy, so bring some glucose-containing water to replenish your physical strength. Better bring a piece of chocolate. Try not to bring staple food, just bring some sausages.

The second is accommodation. There are many small hotels near Phoenix Station. If you want to stay better, there are hotels. The hotel has all types of rooms, and prices can also be negotiated.
