matters needing attention

Every June and July is the best season for tourism. This season belongs to nature. What you have seen, what you haven't seen, what you can think of and what you can't think of are all competing for splendor. Since the prohibition of grazing began in 2002, although it can not be said that cattle and sheep can be seen in the wind and grass, there is still no problem with chickens and ducks.

Don't forget to take thick clothes, don't think it's summer.

There is a short story about the local summer: "when I got up in the morning, I found a cow was frozen to death. 72 people took 72 knives and began to cook the cattle. By noon, half of the meat stinks before the cattle are finished." although it is exaggerated, it has its rationality. It's too cold from 7:00 to 11:00, the cattle are still ice, and the knife is obviously too tight. From 11:00 to 12:00, the beef thaws quickly. No matter how many knives, no matter how fast, the temperature is high, the meat stinks are a foregone conclusion. Therefore, it's no exaggeration to wear thick clothes in the morning, and it's cool to wear long sleeves at noon. And then the UV is relatively strong, the naked skin will be red and purple in less than an hour, and then of course, the pain of peeling and heart drilling.

Winter scenery is also good, but it is recommended that you do not go in winter unless you challenge the limit. Turn off the engine for half an hour and your car will turn into a scrap iron GADA. No antifreeze, no engine oil.
