Beautiful four seasons climate in an incredible river valley. Self-sufficient and friendly neighbors. Fertile land,with over 1 mile of river frontage and tall mountains on the horizon. Protected crown forest lies across the river, with very little developement in the area and abundant wildlife.
Roads, power, and natural springs exists, as well as multiple dwellings.
"If you are thinking a year ahead, sow seed. If you are thinking 10 years ahead, plant a tree. If you are thinking 100 years ahead, educate the people."
-- Kuan-Tsu, 3rd century BCE |
