The Secret of the Old Boss|I Captured the Perfect Photo of Ginseng

As a kid, I watched a paper-cut animation called "The Ginseng Kingdom," and I really thought the ginseng in Changbai Mountain could "run" back then 😁. Before hiking Changbai Mountain this time, I first experienced "The Secret of the Old Boss" at the Changbaishan Wanda International Resort—joining the locals to dig for ginseng in the mountains and immerse in the local culture. For a southerner like me, it was just too cool❗ 📌 The "Old Boss" usually refers to experienced ginseng gatherers. The "secret" likely points to the unique ginseng-harvesting culture in the Changbai Mountain region. For example, the pre-harvest blessings, how to use the treasure-seeking stick, the number of people allowed in the mountains, and the methods of harvesting ginseng... I even dug up my very first ginseng root myself! The Old Boss told me it had grown for at least five years. 🌈 The summer ski resort actually offers many fun activities—relaxing, thrilling, indulgent... suitable for all kinds of travelers. My day here was packed, and I even managed to soak in a hot spring at night. 💡 Recommended One-Day Itinerary: Morning: Tree climbing, boating, cycling—light outdoor adventures; Afternoon: The Secret of the Old Boss, Zhengxi Tube Slide; Evening: Hanashan Hot Springs.
