        • Dragon Gate: A famous grotto with stone carvings and breathtaking views over Dianchi Lake.
        • Huating Temple and Taihua Temple: Ancient Buddhist temples with serene gardens and architecture.
        • Cable Car or Chairlift: Many tours include a cable car or chairlift ride to Dragon Gate, offering panoramic views.
        • Physical Activity and Terrain: Visiting the Western Hills involves some walking and stair climbing, especially around Dragon Gate. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for mild hiking.
        • Best Time to Visit: Spring and Autumn offer the most pleasant weather, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Summers are warm and can be rainy, while winters can be chilly.

        Moxibustion Experience

        • Allergies and Sensitivities: If you have allergies, respiratory issues, or are sensitive to smoke, let our guide or therapist know beforehand, as moxibustion involves herbal smoke. Some clinics offer "smokeless" moxa options.

        • Duration: A typical session lasts between 20-45 minutes, depending on the areas treated and your specific needs. The warmth is often deeply relaxing and can leave you feeling calm and rejuvenated.

        Additional Tips

        • Language Support: English may be limited, especially at traditional therapy clinics, so booking a private guide can assist and help you communicate with the locals.
        • Mindful Photography: In Temples and during the moxibustion session, be respectful and ask permission before taking photos.
        • Physical Readiness: Be prepared for light hiking at the Western Hills. Let us know if you have mobility limitations, so we can arrange for cable cars or paths with fewer stairs.

        The combination of the natural beauty of the Western Hills and the healing moxibustion experience makes this a relaxing and rejuvenating day, ideal for exploring Yunnan's scenic and cultural offerings.
