There are also traditional tents and viewing platforms in the camp, offering a 360-degree view with no blind spots. The wooden house is equipped with fragrant fresh soup and bread, which will warm your body, mind, and soul, satisfy your taste buds, and chat with other travelers from afar about travel anecdotes.
