When climbing the watchtower, the weather suddenly changed, and the wind and rain were overwhelming, tourists ran around and hid, look, how creative they were!

When the storm comes, everyone is holding each other for warmth

Watching the weather suddenly change, the entire scenic area is filled with fog, and the direction leading to Dajiuhu is foggy and cannot be passed at all. I am worried that I can't go back when it's dark, so I have to drive back from Shennongding and miss many attractions. On the way down the mountain, many attractions are vivid in my mind.

The mountain is covered with clouds and clouds, and the required dark clouds are dense
