It makes "cattle and horses" like me incredibly envious. Usu Langzi Lake Usu Langzi Lake is surrounded by white birch forests and colorful forests. In autumn, the yellow meadows are incredibly dreamy. Blue Cabin The blue cabin that suddenly appears at the corner of the forest path is like a scene from a dream. Standing on the hillside, you can overlook the Budo River and the cattle and horses. Tuofengling Tianchi Lake The azure lake water is surrounded by mountains shaped like camel humps. The Tianchi Lake is stunning in spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
