That means the sweet and clean air is guaranteed up there! Forget about pollution you’ve seen before and just inhale deeply instead.

However, to see the golden stone and the golden pagoda, you will have to walk upward along a 200-metre stairway. That may be a little bit exhausted for those who have heart diseases. Therefore, if any of your family members not in perfect health, maybe you should let them wait for you below. That will be safer.
