The town is generally accessible, though some areas have uneven cobblestone streets. Solo exploration is common and rewarding, but guided tours offer deeper insights into the local culture and history. Peak season is during spring and autumn for pleasant weather, while summer can be hot and crowded. Winter is less crowded but colder. A typical visit lasts 2-3 days, with costs varying depending on accommodation and activities, but generally affordable. Consider exploring the ancient city walls, Hong Bridge, and taking a boat ride on the Tuojiang River.
