I took a monkey car and learned about the history and development process of mining. I saw a lot of mining machinery. In addition to taking a monkey car, it took a lot of time to queue up. The whole process was very happy. Although the onion mine was tired from climbing out in the end, it was still very interesting. I also saw a big doll fish."Qianwei County>100km from XichangHighlights: Jiayang's Suoluo Lake was created after the construction of a hydropower dam on the Mabian River.
