Enchanting Hike - We enjoyed breathtaking views of the mountains and rice fields, walked through cornfields and bamboo groves, and learned about the diverse tribes in the region. Each tribe wears different colors and speaks a unique language, adding to the cultural richness. Special thanks to our guide Zhu, who made the experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
