#earthdayjourney We visited the breathtaking Getu River Scenic Area, a national 4A-level scenic spot renowned for its stunning karst landscapes, deep canyons, and magnificent caves. As we explored the area, we marveled at the harmonious blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, including the traditional practices of the local Miao communities. The commitment to preserving this unique environment through eco-friendly tourism practices was evident, making it a perfect destination for Earth Day reflections. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone passionate about nature and sustainability.

Nestled within a massive limestone cave, the village is home to about 100 residents who have preserved their traditional way of life despite modern pressures. Walking through the cave, we were inspired by the villagers’ resilience and their deep connection to the natural environment. Visiting Zhongdong on Earth Day underscored the importance of cultural preservation alongside environmental conservation. I would definitely recommend this unique cultural experience to those seeking meaningful, sustainable travel.
