🔸 Wax and Tie-dye Experience: Check in at the dye workshop with indigo cloth curtains (same scene as the movie "Time")
🔸 Bu Zheng Coffee: ☕ Three-layer viewing platform, time was stolen by the second-floor terrace, watching the eaves flow like a blue river. At this moment, the distant mountains of Guizhou drank half a latte for me.
