    "The overall play feels good, that is, the scenic lake train and the cruise ship are not connected. If you take the train to the last stop, you need to walk to the previous stop and take the cruise back. It was a lot of physical exertion and then walk a long way. To be honest, it is very tired to buy a package ticket. I also want to be in the body. There is a saving in strength. I hope the scenic spot can consider adding a section of the lake train to the package."

    "Zhang Shu's colorful Danxia, God's overturned color palette, nature's ghostly work, is really shocking. The immersive dream valley light and shadow interpretation of "Alan Lagda" is also worth seeing, the mysterious and distant colorful world, the happy dance, the inspiring music. As the car drove all the way to the valley, there were many light and shadow shapes on the road. After arriving at the earth forest, you can see a variety of rock shapes and light exhibitions. The performance is very exciting, the costumes and music are in place, the night tour is worthwhile, you must come and see! If you don't get to the northwest, you will regret it all your life. When you get to the northwest, you will sigh and miss it for the rest of your life."

    "This is the post-developed Chaka Salt Lake. The old Chaka Salt Lake is not open. I can only come to see this. The scenic spot is very large. It is recommended to walk as little as possible in places with high anti-reverse. So I bought a ticket for the small train separately.
