Enter the main scenic area and receive a light traditional styling experience. The styling may include a lightweight Chinese-style shawl, a traditional hair accessory, and a Beijing fan. The styling is natural and comfortable rather than heavy, allowing you to walk, climb, and take the boat easily.
