When it comes, the weather is good, Liu Xiao and eight women are relatively humorous, suitable for people who do not like too many people or want to relax.
謝謝您的評價！很高興看到客人在好天氣裡度過了一段悠閒的時光。期待日後有機會與您再次相遇!
There were also hands-on events that were fulfilling. You can visit a tea factory that you don't usually see and make paper easily.
