People come from nature and live in the metropolis for a long time. Instead, we think that people should live in the city. But only when we return to nature can we find that nature is people's "a Xia". There are many waterfalls in the ASHA Valley, each with different names, which are the embodiment of the imagination of the Mosuo people.
