📍Llanes When I first arrived at the small port city, it had a really peaceful atmosphere! There were a lot of boats and it was like the European port city I had imagined!! ✅ And if you go to a place like an observatory, you can go to a lighthouse where you can see the sea in all directions. If you walk straight, there is a lighthouse at the end!! I felt really relieved👍 #HongKongAirFlightEvent
