There are beautiful sceneries to enjoy all year round, and it is also pet-friendly! 🐶Pet-Friendly Guide: ✅Pets are free of charge, only human tickets are required. ✅There is a service desk at the entrance, where you need to scan a code to register your pet's information. No dog license is required, but you will be asked when registering. ✅After registering the information, you can directly enter the park. ✅The park is quite large, so it is recommended to rent a tandem bike or an electric bike.
