so beautiful! ! ! A few days of the trip, I feel that my body and mind have been purified (ღ˘⌣˘ღ). The temperature on the mountain is low and you have to bring thick clothes and prepare more oxygen. The driver uncle is also very professional and caring 👍👍👍👍👍
The most romantic thing I can think of is riding horses and playing with my beloved on Mount Siguniang.
What a beautiful! The eyes are greatly satisfied, a little bit high anti-gasp, but it does not affect the excitement of the tour. Shuangqiaogou is the most perfect developed among the three ditches of Siguniang Mountain, so the tourists are also the most. It is very convenient to take a bus to enter the innermost mangrove forest from the inward to the outside. We went in early November, although it was the end of autumn scenery. But under the sun, white clouds and blue sky, snowy mountains and clear waters, are really everywhere!
