The scenic area has a profound cultural heritage. The ancient buildings and legends make people feel as if they are in the long river of history. The natural scenery here is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the lakes are clear, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The scenic area has complete facilities, flat roads, clear signs, and is very convenient.
The hardware of the scenic spot has been made more beautiful and more user-friendly in recent years. The signboards are really clear, but the signboards for the clockwise route are not very clear. I hope it will be improved. There are many activities during the 51 period, which is great.
