This time we happened to encounter the 🎶Canyon Mirage Summer Music Festival and bonfire party. It was the first time participating in an event in an outdoor canyon, but the live music was very exciting, and the atmosphere was really great. Sitting around the fire at night, singing and chatting was a great experience, making the wasted moments of life meaningful!

‼️Little tips
✅There is a lot of walking, so it is recommended to wear sports shoes. Also, be sure to protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses, hats, and sun-protective clothing, as the UV rays are very strong!
✅It is recommended to bring some water and energy-boosting snacks 🍰 to replenish energy during the tour.
