    Hong Kong and Macau residents cannot use QR codes for entry; they need to exchange them for physical tickets at the local ticket office. The ticket includes four sightseeing bus rides (at least two will be needed, as the first ride from the entrance gate is from "West Gate" to "Changxiao Station," and the second ride is from "Changxiao" to "Viewing Platform No. 1" or to the last stop, "Wind and Rain Bridge No. 1"). This attraction is definitely worth a visit 🤣; you could easily spend more than two days there.

    Langde Shangzhai is like an amber forgotten by time, hanging towers, stone roads, long skirt seedlings, all keep the original color. No hawking, even the wind is slow. Twelve roadblock wines are only presented at festivals, and only waterwheels and rice fields frogs are left on weekdays. The hustle and bustle of business is blocked by the mountain wind outside the village gate, and the rest is the living Miao family's daily, and the long-lost "arrival" of travelers.
