Enjoy a romantic winter trip to Cangshan and Erhai Lake, and check in to the same B&B as Zhao Lusi.

When the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is draped in golden gauze, and the 7,000-square-meter sea of flowers in Ting Hua Gu sways in the twilight, the sky performs a magical gradient of gold and pink—this is definitely one of the top ten sunsets you must see in your life! I took 128G of photos here, enough to dominate my WeChat Moments.🥂
