I was completely amazed!
I've been longing for the Southern Line of Genie Mountain for many years, and it's truly beautiful.
Finally, finally, I'm here.
This time!
I finally left Tagong and reached the long-awaited Southern Line of Genie Mountain.
I must say, this place is absolutely stunning.
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and lakes,
every scene is like a painting.

Moreover, you can visit the Southern Line of Genie Mountain.
This is the most beautiful place I've driven to this year.
This day felt like an otherworldly experience,
with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, rivers, hot springs... such a unique feeling.
Especially the outdoor hot spring by the small river,
at the foot of Genie Sacred Mountain,
it's incredibly beautiful!

【Things to Note on the Southern Line of Genie Mountain】
1. Don't get too excited at high altitudes, drink plenty of water to avoid altitude sickness.
2. The accommodation hygiene here is not good, bring some tissues.
3. Be mindful of sun protection, the temperature varies greatly between morning and evening, bring a down jacket.
4. Buy more snacks, there might be no places to eat along the way.
