In summer, it is the best summer resort. Go hiking with a few friends, or rent a horse for an outing in the wild. This is the most comfortable life.

In winter, this place will become a world full of snow, which reminds people of the scene of flying foxes in the snow-capped mountains. If you have time, you should definitely spend a few days in Harmony! Watch the sunrise and sunset, cook with smoke, and listen to the chirping of birds and horses
