About Mulan Qingliang Village
The air here is fresh all year round. Even on scorching summer days, the average temperature stays at around 20°C, making it an excellent retreat from the heat. In spring, mountain slopes are covered with cherry blossoms and azaleas. In summer, the hundred-metre-high Great Waterfall is breathtaking. In autumn, the hillsides blaze with red foliage. In winter, rime frost coats the trees in crystalline white, turning them into jade-like branches. Each season has its own distinct charm.
