Spent the Dragon Boat Festival in a truly ethereal place—
A hidden gem praised by National Geographic as the "Natural Oxygen Bar of Jiangnan."
Every breath here is filled with the sweet aroma of nature.
With drizzling rain and lush green peaks,
Xiandu paints its love for woodlands with varying shades of green across the mountains.
