In the early morning, a wisp of mountain fog drifts in with the breeze. It’s neither dust nor haze, but the fresh mist that can infiltrate the body and skin. By simply turning around, you can enjoy the view of the sun slowly rising from the other end of the sea of clouds. The wonderful feeling is only known to those who have stayed in the guesthouses above the clouds.
HEY! Come above the clouds to escape the summer heat and embrace the sun, moon, and stars together!
