Weekend outing with parents I decided to go to the Shanhai Health Trail near my home and walk from Shangli Reservoir to Meihai Flower Terrace. In about ten minutes, you can see a large sea of ​​pink flowers. It is particularly beautiful and easy to take pictures in the sun. Comparing transactions, it is smoother to go from Dongping Mountain to Meihai Flower Terrace to Shangli Reservoir. Continue down to the seaside, which is also downhill. If you walk from Shangli Reservoir to Meihai Flower Terrace, you won't be able to see the seaside viewing platform, which is a pity. Romantic Flower Sea
