Normally it’s open to public at that time, and you’d better check it again before visiting.

Yeah, it is not very hard to walk up and down. The highest altitude is around 465m (509yd) and the slope is not that steep. Anyway, the cable car is really worth a try to see the bird's-eye view of the park.

It is impossible to go from the Eight Great Sites Park to the Fragrant Hill inside the park and you need to get out of the part to transfer from one to the other.
You are suggested to take a taxi to transfer between. Although the two places are are close to each other, there is no direct bus between. You can see the autumn leaves in Eight Great Sites Park, but the scenery here is not so beautiful than the one in Fragrant Hill. So if you want to enjoy the autumn leaves well, you are suggested to go to the Fragrant Hill first.

Yes, you can walk from one to another. You have no need to pay fees at all temples, just need to buy the entrance ticket for the park.

Don't worry! You can visit the Buddha Tooth Relic during these days. But as it is during Chinese Spring Festival, it may be very crowded.
As I know, there are English guiding signs in the park. You will not get lost. Relax!

No, you are not able to see the tooth relic (possibly at some rare special ceremony during the year).
