comment

One ferry, connecting the two provinces, river water, three tides a day. It is surrounded by mountains and two provinces. Qingshui River, the beauty of the border city, is hard to compare with the green mountains and canyons on both sides of the tide. Hunan and Guizhou are both tidal waters, with unique underground mineral resources. Strong folk customs, simple truth, still win the paradise.
