The sunrise on the grassland is one of the greatest marvelous spectacles in nature. If you don't want to miss the chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the grassland, you’d better get up early in the morning. Watch sunrise and see everything turns brighter and brighter.

Adam did a great job. We learned a lot from him.
Thanks for the fruits. We will certainly enjoy them. My complaints last night were towards the hotel not you. And I know that it can't be help.
I will contact you again about our next trip, most likely to Yunnan.
