For the Blue Mountains, it's recommended to visit during the local autumn, when maple leaves cover the ground everywhere - it's very distinctive and spectacular.
Taking the three cable car sections is a bit thrilling.
After visiting, I wasn't too impressed - I still prefer the magnificent landscapes of my motherland like Zhangjiajie, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Mount Huangshan, etc.
