    Furong town view is stunning. The ticket is slightly pricey but it's worth the price. With the ticket you are allowed with multiple entries for 3 days. Visit day and night time for different atmosphere. Food there is pricey as its tourist spot but get a place where you can enjoy the full waterfall view make your dining experience incredible!

    Chadong is just the right size; the stilted houses, straddling three provinces, still hang old lanterns. The slow, gentle oars creak on the Qingshui River; Cuicui Island, though just a small hill, is enough to solidify the melancholy described in books. Freshly made ginger candy, the horned fish with just the right amount of spiciness, and at night only the barking of dogs and the sound of the river can be heard. Time, like a stretched shadow, sways and grows old.

    It's worth a visit. After all, it's a national-level building. Yes, let me tell you about Aizhai. The Aizhai Bridge scenic area has a glass plank walkway, but it's not very interesting. Half a day is enough for Aizhai Bridge. The official itinerary is difficult to understand. The Aizhai Miao village of Dehang below is interesting and worth a visit. Jidou Miao Village is simple and authentic. The service at Aizhai Bridge is average, directions are difficult, and communication is difficult. I took a lot of photos at Aizhai Bridge, but there's actually a fee later.

    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.
