Generally speaking, Black Snake Bay enters the rainy season around June and July, which lasts until September or October.

Horn's view was of a small village on the outskirts of Celestial Maiden City, with muddy and dirty land, chickens, ducks, and stray dogs running everywhere, and two intersecting long streets with dozens of stilt houses crookedly scattered on either side.
Looking out from the car window, one could always see villagers sitting barefoot under the eaves, watching with wary and unfriendly eyes at the carriage surrounded by armored soldiers.
