[Highlights] 🌌 Master of Light and Shadow: The "Emerald Relief" spectacle at sunrise Summit Guniujiang's main peak at 6:30 am.

As sunlight pierces the clouds, the entire mountain transforms into a three-dimensional ink painting, each crevice shimmering with a mysterious glow. 🦌 The Ultimate Challenge for Hikers: The "72 Turns" Cliffside Plank Road Suspended on a cliff at an altitude of 1,200 meters, the glass plank road appears and disappears amidst the sea of clouds. With each step, hikers hear the whispers of the abyss below. But upon rounding the 37th bend, a breathtaking expanse of alpine azaleas will erase all fear. 🍵 A Pilgrimage for Tea Connoisseurs: Exploring Wild Keemun Black Tea Forests Venture into a pristine tea garden at 800 meters above sea level. Hand-pick the pre-Qingming "one bud and two leaves" and experience the ancient charcoal-roasting process under the guidance of tea farmers. As dusk settles, sit beneath a century-old camphor tree, brew a pot of "Golden Osmanthus Fragrance" in a bamboo tube, and watch the sunset paint the tea amber.
