Pictures of first and second class seats
Even large, heavy suitcases can be placed under the feet of passengers in the second-class seats.
We had a second class seat, which was empty at the time and could be placed in the luggage space next to the door.
2. Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area
To prevent altitude sickness, we spent several days at 2000-3000 meters altitude and had been taking Diamox for three days. Although it was relatively expensive, we asked the hotel driver to take us to the scenic area so that we would not get tired considering our age.
At the entrance to the scenic area, instead of entering the beautiful building on the right as you face it, you entered the zone where the stores were clustered on its left side, and the cable station was at the far end, so it was difficult to find.
Although I had taken all the necessary precautions against altitude sickness, the stairs up the mountain were tough. The oxygen cylinders we had prepared were defective and did not produce much oxygen, but we were able to purchase oxygen cylinders at several stores along the stairway.
4,680 meters above sea level
It was nice to see the cloudy sky clear up for a moment and the surrounding mountains looked beautiful.
We got in the car that picked us up and returned to the hotel.
The next day we relaxed at the hotel and returned home the day after.
