✨ Activity Highlights:
❶ Besides the roller coaster 🎢 in Ancient Dian Kingdom around Kunming! This is one of the few projects that I find so exciting! (Sweaty palms from the cliffside via ferrata, dopamine and endorphins fly together 😂)
❷ Overlook the canyon from the top of the cliff, and take fantastic photos of the magical karst cave
❸ After the via ferrata, you can also hike to explore the cave and canyon for double the fun!
📍 Address: Yiliang Mosuotian Camp
⚠️ Reminder: Wear non-slip shoes! Bring a windproof and sunscreen jacket! It is recommended that those who are afraid of heights go with a companion to build courage!
