Every spring and summer, herds of cattle and sheep cruise along the mountain lakes, carrying green mountains on their backs, which is very beautiful.

It is suitable for friends who don’t have much time and just want to take a look, or for friends and the elderly who are unwell. etc. (extremely not recommended). The second is to take a boat, pass through the lake, browse the lake scenery and take a look at the surrounding scenery. It takes about thirty minutes and the boat fare needs to be paid separately. The third is to walk along the wooden plank road by the lake, which is 2.2 kilometers in total, and enjoy the scenery of the lake while walking (highly recommended).
