#2月好地方2025 "Grandpa Glacier had shaved ice here!" Duoduo lay on her stomach to observe the potholes, while Lao Chen used a flashlight to illuminate the vortex patterns: "This is how the ice cubes made holes three million years ago." As soon as I finished talking about geological movements, the little guy had arranged the pebbles into an "Ice Age Menu." When they found the natural stone slide, Duoduo screamed and played seven times in a row: "My butt is going to freeze!" The tea-picking lady handed over wild berries with a smile: "Eat this to grow a cold-resistant tail." In the afternoon, the mountain mist rose, and the little explorer held the cold stone mortar and announced: "I found a shortcut to the North Pole!" When we were going down the mountain, we were hit by a sudden rainstorm, so we hid in an abandoned charcoal kiln and told the legend of the snow monster. Duoduo regarded the echo of the cave as the sigh of ancient ice, and used branches to draw smiling glacier babies in the mud.
