Wuhan is too hot, so our family came here for a weekend getaway
It's pleasantly cool both morning and evening
No need for AC at night—just a fan and we even needed blankets

Perfect for a 2-day, 1-night trip
Stroll through cloud-kissed grasslands by day☁
Watch sunsets, twilight clouds, and starry skies by evening

Experience the romance of mountaintop⛰️ grasslands in summer
Embrace 21°C summer days
