[Forest Hunting Ground Healing and Stress Relief | A Place to Take a Deep Breath and Let Go of Stress]
Entering the secret forest of tribal hunters, we don't come to hunt, but rather to let the forest "hunt" away your worries. Strolling along the forest trails, breathing in the refreshing scent of pine needles, listening to the chirping of insects, birdsong, and the gurgling of streams, time seems to slow down. Here, you can capture this moment in a Polaroid photo, taking home a unique connection with the forest that will never fade.

[Century-Old Cypress Plank House Tour｜A Breathing Old House]
Quietly nestled amidst the pine and crane forests, this century-old cypress-clad house stands like a guardian of the tribe, bearing witness to the winds and rain of time. Stepping inside, it's like stepping back in time. Inhale the fragrance of cypress wood, touch the mottled planks, and it feels as if the hands of our ancestors are still lingering on them. After the guided tour, each participant will receive a bottle of ice-cold pine juice. This sip of forest energy will recharge your batteries!

[Water Fun by the Valley River｜A Playful Adventure of Picking Up Stones]
Finally, we arrived at the valley riverbank, where clear water flowed gently through the mountains, the sunlight shimmering on the surface like golden light. You can kick off your shoes and step into the stream, picking up rocks and searching for fossils, or you can sit quietly on the bank and listen to the water's song. This stop was a chance to recapture simpler moments, playing in the stream together, building small stone towers, and capturing the most tender moments of this journey.
