The stone walls on both sides of the bank are in five colors. Green forests and green bamboos are available for all seasons. The fog is about to subside at dawn, and the apes and birds are chirping wildly; the sunset is about to fade, and the sunken scales are leaping and dancing. It is really the fairyland of the world of desire. Since the beginning of Kangle, there has never been anything more amazing than it.
