Travelogue
"What a delight! The scenery here is splendid, the climate most agreeable, and the atmosphere wonderfully refreshing. After exploring the town centre, I found myself reluctant to leave and ended up strolling around the outskirts too. Spending the afternoon soaking in the hot springs was utterly blissful."
"The wooden stilt houses cling to the mountainside in tiered layers, while the White Water River winds through the village, its emerald waves rippling gently. One must spend a night in the Miao village to witness the lanterns being lit – the twinkling sparks are truly breathtaking."
"The scenery is simply splendid, and the ancient town has preserved all its essential features. It's particularly welcoming to photography enthusiasts, especially for capturing the night views."
