It's worth a visit. Walking among a group of stones, taking photos, and checking in, it's beautiful and a good exercise. In summer, you must take good sun protection measures, as your head will be exposed to the sun. We brought a child who was afraid of heat, so the shortest itinerary was probably completed in two hours.
The Red Stone Forest is not red, but the various shapes of the stone forest are worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful. It is similar to the Sobuya Stone Forest in Enshi, Hubei, but not as large as the Sobuya Stone Forest. Many ancient fossils can be seen on the stones. The ticket price is relatively expensive.

The overall environment is good and clean, even the living environment of the lambs and alpacas is clean. However, no one cares about the panda house. Young men and women were banging on the glass and yelling to get up, but no staff intervened or stopped them. I said, "It's so loud and you're banging on the glass, and no one cares?" and was glared at by a group of people. I took my child and walked away.
There aren't many people here. The pandas have a very good living environment. The pandas have a lot of toys and the pandas have received a lot of equipment from their fans. The air is fresh. It's the first time I've seen you peacocks spread their feathers at the same time. It's said that Fufu does some activities every afternoon. I love Fufu so much. He's so happy and beautiful.

Although rafting is not exciting and is relatively gentle, the scenery along the coast is absolutely first-class. The boatman took us through several waterfalls and went swimming in the river. The water was particularly clean. I highly recommend it!
Rafting in the mountains is not very exciting, but the river water is clear, clean and cool, the riverside scenery is charming, and you can also float in the water in the gentle area. The only thing to note is that girls should not wear shorts, otherwise they will get sunburned! It's really fun
