You should have a health check-up before going out to fully grasp your physical condition. Then, according to their physical condition and illness, choose tourist spots and arrange travel schedules. If you can be far, you can be far away. If you can't be far, you can be close. Don't be forced. Watch out for colds. The climate is changeable, with wind and rain. When going out, you should prepare enough clothes, carry rain gear and shoes and socks of the right size. You should not sit on the cold and wet stone floor to prevent rain. Don't stand in the wind when climbing downhill to avoid catching cold and getting sick.
