Innumerable stars in the sky spreading above our heads are so impressive! I thought it seen with the naked eye is more more more beautiful than that I saw in pictures!!! When you visit here, be careful on the narrow roads. And have good manners because there're some people taking pictures.◎You should be careful on the narrow roads. And it's very cold on the top of the mountain, so prepare the winter clothes!
