I want to loudly declare: This hidden summer retreat city is absolutely stunning!

Escaping the scorching summer heat, I fled to the 20°C-cool Luancuan. Whether it's the magnificent mountaintop palace at Laojun Mountain, the healing green fairy-tale world of Chongdu Valley, or various hidden gems nestled in the mountains, they all whisper to me: This summer vacation in Luancuan is truly blissful!
