💕 Grassland travel tips
✨ Strong UV in Bashang area, be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat
✨ Large temperature difference between day and night, bring a windbreaker or jacket
✨ Few shops in the scenic area, prepare water and snacks in advance
✨ Protect the grassland ecology, do not trample the grass or litter
✨ Weak signal in the scenic area, remember to get a paper map, very useful
