Overnight the summer wind came into the summer
At this time Yan Zhao dadi
The greenery is everywhere, and the wind is warm and the day is long
Hengtang new lotus, flowers and butterflies busy
Maybe you can't get out and explore the scenery yet
Don't worry though
We can "meet in the cloud"
Bring the beauty of Yan Zhao to you
English talk about ancient villages
Located in Xingtai, Hebei Province, Yingtan Ancient Village is a typical "stone city", which is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are the first wall it naturally forms.
