Some guesthouses, like Yunjian Courtyard, provide complimentary pickup services daily from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the town entrance. Additionally, shared e-bikes are available throughout the area for short-distance travel. Due to narrow streets and potential congestion during peak hours, avoid visiting midday or holidays.
