When you stand on the hillside and look down, you will see a sea of pink and green, which is very spectacular.

The green creeks flow from the mountains, and waterfalls fly down from the mountains. There are also many strange rocks, all of different shapes, which make people want to look again and again. In this special place, it's as if we have entered a fairy tale world.
