❤️ If anyone has time, I recommend visiting Putazu Park. The natural view is very beautiful. The atmosphere is good. Take pictures all the way. We were there from the afternoon until the park closed. We enjoyed walking around and taking pictures. The staff rushed us to get on the last bus back.

‼️ There aren't many foreign tourists here. You may have to look for or ask Chinese tourists about the walking route because some points have boats available. But we couldn't communicate, so we didn't get on. 😂
