At the outdoor campsite of Qingxi·Muyun·Shanye Private Banquet, a warm afternoon tea time is quietly unfolding. After eating and drinking, we sat around the stove, a pot of hot tea bubbling in the iron pot, exuding a tempting aroma. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on us, warm, like a gentle hug in winter. We chatted, sipped tea, and enjoyed this rare tranquility and comfort. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, leaving only us and this beautiful afternoon.

🍁🍁🍁 The fall season is in full swing, and it's time to embark on an autumn adventure. The mountains and forests are like a palette of colors, with fiery red maples and golden ginkgo trees. Walk along the ancient stone path, with fallen leaves rustling underfoot. The autumn breeze brings the sweet scent of fruit, a unique sweetness of the season. Every autumn scene is a beautiful poem written by nature. Start your autumn adventure and let your heart be captivated by the embrace of fall.
