During the three-day Dragon Boat Festival mini-holiday, I joined the Grassland Adventure Caravan organized by Brother Chenggong and Brother Heihei for a camping and leisure trip to Girl’s Lake in Duolun, Inner Mongolia. Brother Hei has already provided a detailed itinerary and account of the leisure activities in his post, so I won’t repeat them here. Instead, I’d like to share the beauty of Girl’s Lake with you in a “painting-style” narrative.
