There are several lakes on the ground and underground lakes with a total area of several square kilometers in the area. There are currently three skylights that can be accessed by boat through natural passages. If you take boating in the skylights, you will feel that there are seas in the mountains and doors on the sea. If it is sunny, the water in the lake is the dark green. It is not green or blue. The color is unique. Looking in the distance, the lake looks like a piece of jade in the sun. If you enjoy hiking, you could also hike on the mountains. It is a little difficult to hike on the mountain for children under 5 years old, the elder above 65 years and those whose conditions are not good for hiking for long. If you hike on the mountain, please return back when you get to Red Army Arsenal at Wanshou Valley (万寿谷). |
