1. Considering the passenger capacity, Gaobei Yongding Chengqi Building will change the regulations from time to time, allowing only one entrance. Before entering, please ask the tour guide/security guard at the gate if multiple entries are allowed.
2. Tulou Scenic Area stipulates that tourists are not allowed to visit upstairs, and residents in the building charge upstairs fees on weekdays. 5- 10 yuan allows tourists to go upstairs, but sometimes in order to cooperate with some policies, it is forbidden to go upstairs at certain times and they can't pay money.
