What is the color of the Jialing River like? Shidai and jasper depend on each other. It is pity that the sun breaks through the waves, and spring returns from the sand. The boy paddles past, and the water chicken flies back and forth with fish in its mouth. A successful event in Langzhong can break your heart, but the south of Langzhou City is rare in the world!

The beautiful scenery in Langzhong is amazing, and the beautiful scenery in the south of Langzhou City is really rare in the world!
