It's a long train ride from Sydney. Went there with classmates on a weekend. This seems to be a must-visit place for mainland Chinese tourists, but honestly, I didn't find it particularly impressive. Any famous mountain in China could easily outshine these peaks. If you're short on time, I definitely don't recommend coming here.
