    "There are too many annual vacations to use. I took my parents out to hang out and walked the Qinggan Dahuan Line. My parents are still quite satisfied with this place. I think it is quite fun. I personally think it is so-so, but compared to his fame, you have to come to Qinghai to Qinggan Dahuan Line."

    "Colorful Danxia, in general, it is worth a visit, but the scenery is not as beautiful as the brochure. In fact, the effect of shooting depends on the weather. If the weather is good, the color is very bright. The day we went there was just a dust storm. The weather was a bit gray. The photos taken were not ideal."

    "How to say it, the picturesque scenery around the lake along the way, and it is very beautiful to stop at any time, but it is always blocked by more or less iron nets, in order to enter the ticket. But after watching a circle, it is a bit boring to go to the scenic spot. Walking around, it is basically a park and business. There are many people in the place where you can really see the lake. The scenery is not as good as outside."
