The city center concentrates most shops, transit, and services, making it the practical choice for a short stay. Surrounding areas are more rural and mountainous, generally requiring a car to explore comfortably.
The nearby Kongtong Mountain, a noted Taoist site, is best visited in the cooler morning hours, particularly during the warmer months when the climb is more comfortable earlier in the day. The city center's older streets offer a quieter, lower-key alternative.
