Unspoiled natural scenery with layers of diverse vegetation makes you forget all the fatigue of the long journey. On the climbing journey, when you get closer to the top, the more beautiful scenery undulating, sometimes hidden, sometimes in the white clouds. Do not forget to admire and choose a beautiful angle to take photos, or record a video to save as a souvenir. The most difficult, arduous and exciting is the steepest slope from Mount Salt to the top. This is a bumpy mountain with many pebbles, easy to slip, the wind blows and whistles like a flute calling you. Through this part, you need to make sure your feet and hands cling to the cliffs or the roots of the azalea tree firmly, moving slowly each step is safe. Because there are quite dangerous passages like this, you need to go with a group to help each other with any difficulty.
