Through the market, you can see a church and a water temple. Finally, near the south gate, the ruins of the Sun Temple and the amphitheater are erected. You can visit the ancient city of Sheila Bohris first, and the south side of the ancient city goes down the hillside to find the cotton castle.

It only takes about 2-3 hours to visit the cotton fort itself, and the most beautiful area is on the way up from the entrance. Generally, there will be more and more people in the morning, reaching the peak around 3 pm, and then gradually decreasing in the evening, so if you arrive in the afternoon, you can go later, spend 1-2 hours on foot and enjoy the beautiful sunset. The white rock surface will be stained with light colors by sunlight, while the water waves on the rock surface record the strange colors of the changing sky.

Matters needing attention

Because of improper protection and many hotels pumping hot spring water to build swimming pools, a large area of limestone dried up and turned yellow-brown. Therefore, it is now stipulated in the scenic spot that entering the bathing beach must be barefoot to prevent the soles from wearing cotton fort limestone. And it is confined to one area, and you can't set foot on other limestone at will. In fact, the most damaged area, which was originally the most beautiful, was artificially emptied and exposed to the sun, hoping to restore the original white one day.
