First, I wanted to see the Peach Blossom Source described by Tao Yuanming, and second, I wanted to walk the ancient salt road in front of Gongtan Ancient Town and take a look at the picturesque Wujiang River. Additionally, Youyang is an autonomous county of the Tujia ethnic group, so there should be plenty of ethnic specialty foods to try, and thus the detective in me decided to take a trip~~ We went on a self-driving trip over the weekend, leaving on Saturday noon and returning on Sunday evening.

The fishermen were very surprised and continued to explore deeper into the forest, wanting to see its full extent. At the end of the forest, a spring appeared, and beyond it was a mountain with a small opening that seemed to emit light. They left their boat and entered through the opening. At first, it was extremely narrow, just wide enough for one person to pass. After walking dozens of steps, they suddenly found themselves in a bright and open area.
