Following the winding route, visitors will encounter a charming natural scene like a paradise. On one side is a steep mountainside, embellished with green, red, yellow, purple colors from trees and wildflowers along the roadside, on the other side are green valleys interspersed with canals.

Standing at the top of the pass in the early morning, the best time is around 6-8 am, you will be able to admire the rare landscape when the clouds float in front of you. The sun rose high, causing the fog to gradually dissipate, a very indescribable feeling when we were alone with heaven and earth.
