Singing through the night
After eating, it’s time to put on music to sing and dance. If no one in your group knows how to play guitar, prepare a speaker and mic to sing karaoke. In the vast space, sitting around the fire and humming together is a special feeling only when you go camping.

Watch the sunrise
After a night of hiccuping, it’s time to “F5” get back to the body by waking up early to watch the sunrise. In the fresh air of the early morning, step out of the tent, spread your arms wide, and take a deep breath to feel the difference compared to waking up early in daily life. Then watching a bit of the mountain view is really chill.

Check-in with “genuine” background
Of course, “virtual living” is indispensable. The photography background here must be said to be super good when there are enough harmonious colors from the clouds, the grass, the mountains, and the lake. Not only that, the light at the lake is also sufficient to give you a beautiful photo without adjustment. Taking photos here not only helps you get more photos of thousands of likes on social networks but also to save an interesting trip with relatives and friends.
