I will straight away write about my 1^st spot~ Recreation Shed~

Recreation Shed is a farm planted with lots of crataegus仙楂 and has a small shed for tourist to rest, drink crataegus tea and eat some desserts made by crataegus~

The most special thing is the part of crataegus konjac DIY仙楂蒟蒻DIY~ we can try to make the crataegus konjac by ourselves~
