If you want to create an atmosphere, you can use camp lights or Headlights instead.
3. In the high hills, the wind is quiet, and in the deep dark sky, stars are like gems, blinking, so you decided to put the tent on the high hill, ready to quietly appreciate the rare sight Night view? Please do not do this. The weather in the summer is changeable, and it is difficult to detect the rain, wind and thunder. The strong winds at high altitudes are the first to strike, and they are vulnerable to lightning strikes, which will make you caught by surprise.
4. Set up a tent in the green grass, breathing becomes fragrant, open the tent, you can see the tender grass swaying with the wind, reminiscent of the passing green years, is it a beautiful scene?

3. Try to choose a place that is flat and exposed to sunlight while being close to the water. Of course, we must also consider the factors of good landscape.
4. Riverbank campsites and valley campsites are very dangerous when they encounter rivers or waterfalls or torrential floods, so choose a place with a relatively high terrain.
