< p>Special notes:

(1 You must bring hiking poles, preferably double poles. Because the road surface is bumpy and uneven, it is easy to injure your ankles and knees. During the National Day, the wind on the mountain is very strong, so strong that it is difficult to stand still and will pass through several wind vents. The wind speed and coldness during May Day are unknown, but it should be much gentler and warmer.

(2 You must protect your head, hands, and face. During the National Day, it is extremely cold on the mountain, and the wind blows on your face like a knife.

(3 You must bring a headlamp or flashlight, There is a night section of Dachaotai (climb to Dongtai for sunrise, and the lights of the temple are under control. You need to use lights when you get up early and stay in the dark.

(4. When you go to Shahe Railway Station, you must bring kneepads, hats, gloves, masks, and scarves. Wear all your clothes neatly, including windproof and warm clothes, and put your headlamp and hiking poles in a very convenient place. Don’t dig through your bag after getting off the car at Hongmen Rock. Hongmen Rock is a wind outlet, and the cold wind will make you unable to stretch out your hands. Hiding everywhere to avoid the wind, even hiding behind the big stone monument of Hongmenyan can not block the icy cold wind at night.

(5 Check the weather and temperature before traveling, and try to bring as few items as possible. Dachaotai is a tourist attraction. For heavyweight hikes, the lighter the backpack, the easier it is to hike. However, the quilt smells too strong when hanging up the sheets. It is best to bring a thin fleece sleeping bag to line the quilt.

(6Except for the temple, there are no water points on the road. Prepare enough water for the day before going out.
