Timing
Leave with hours in mind (Open cliffside road, walkable or drivable around the clock; individual bays and parking viewpoints follow daylight—best on a clear weekday morning.). Weekends and holidays need extra queue time.
Pay
Nearby stalls usually take Alipay or WeChat. Foreign-card terminals are rare — set up Alipay before you go.
