In addition, there are hot spring resources, such as Buren Hot Spring, which are rich in minerals and have health-care effects.

It's over. I don't know where to go after playing here. This is the most beautiful place in the world! The key is that there is no entrance fee!
The snow-capped mountains, green grasslands, and gurgling streams are so beautiful. It's so beautiful.
If you are lucky, you can also see birds, flowers, cattle and sheep
