Tips from experienced self-drivers
Depart at 6:00 in summer, 7:00 in winter. Avoid the morning rush; arrive before 9:00 for easy parking.
Fill up before departure. Many gas stations near the scenic area, but prices are slightly higher—fill up in the city.
Set destination to "Yuntaishan Scenic Area Visitor Center"; do not search "Yuntaishan" directly as it may navigate to the wrong location.
The last 5 km is mountain road with many curves—slow down. Be extra careful in rain or snow; drive slowly.
Baijiayan parking lot is largest but fills after 9:00. Alternative: park at Anshang Service Area and take the sightseeing bus into the scenic area.
The visitor center has luggage lockers: large items ¥5/day, small items ¥3/day. If staying overnight, just leave luggage at the hotel.
