Yanhu Scenic Area
Highlights:Yanhu Lake | Meiyu Waterfall | Xishiliang Grand Waterfall | Han Zhu Peak | Shimen | Sea of Clouds | Sunrise and Sunset
The Furong Stream connects two lakes—one ancient, one modern: Yan Lake and Furong Lake. “Above lies a lake, spanning some ten li, whose waters never run dry; in autumn, when the wild geese return, they often rest here…” That lake atop the high mountain gave Yandangshan a name of unique charm, and it also added a vast expanse of azure waves to the hearts of travelers. Yet, since it eventually dried up, it has become an unfulfilled dream in their hearts. Those who seek this dream find only a sea of clouds, along with magnificent sunrises and sunsets.
