Dazhu Mountain transforms into a poetic landscape, where every tree and rock contributes to a scene of serene beauty. From the summit, layers of multi-hued ridges stretch into the distance like a vast, natural canvas. Peculiar peaks and evergreen pines stand against the blue sky, sketching a striking silhouette against the horizon.
