Hikers and lovers of historic trails can also admire the white waves of silvergrass in full bloom during this season, offering breathtaking scenery. The peak blooming period is in November, and many travelers have already started planning their November silvergrass trips. Visitors can explore the trail to experience the mountain and sea scenery, view the Chinese character "Tiger" and the stone tablet inscribed with “Heroically Subduing the Barbarian Mist” both written by Qing Dynasty censor Liu Mingdeng, and take in the views of Dali Coast—definitely worth a visit.
