The Yuntai Mountain ticket and the shuttle pass run for three days together, and this route uses all three, one gorge per day. November still pays the high season rate, which only drops on the first of December, so the crowds have thinned while the price has not moved yet.

The Laojun Mountain ticket holds for two days, so this route splits the climb in half: the cliff walkway on the first afternoon, the summit and its cloud early the next morning. Between them, a bamboo valley and a limestone cave that sits at eighteen degrees when the mountain air turns cold.
