💌 Experience from those who have experienced it:
❗ Sour soup life-saving technique: Carry digestive enzyme tablets with you (the attack of Houttuynia cordata is hard to defend against)
❗ Humidity alarm: prepare three pairs of socks for your baby every day (seven-hole socks will get wet in minutes)
❗ Recommended tool: Folding trekking pole (the thousand steps in Miao Village are no joke)
❗ Hidden benefits: Jianglu Hotel will give away a cave exploration equipment pack!

When my daughter wrote on the balcony of the cave surrounded by fireflies: "The mountains will embrace brave children", I suddenly understood that the magic of Guizhou is to let city children hear the heartbeat of the mountains again🌌
