【Yunshuiyao】

It is famous for the romantic and sad movie "The Clouds and the Water", with its leisurely mountain views, old banyan trees on the banks of the creek, and water wheels in the fields... This is a utopian country that is at peace with the world.

The long ancient roads, century-old banyan trees, magical earth buildings, and the sacred mountains and clear waters in the village all give people a transcendent feeling.
