Main Attractions in Baofeng Lake

Baofeng Lake

Baofeng lake is the biggest highlight of this part of scenic area. It is a calm lake surrounded by mountains with green trees. The water of the lake is super clean as it’s an alpine lake. Its water is produced by rainfall, mountain springs and underground streams, and stays emerald all year around, so it is reputed as the Dream-like Jasper Lake Fairyland.

Baofeng Temple

Baofeng Temple is also located within Baofeng Lake Scenic Area, discreetly hidden in among the surrounding verdure. It is an old, graceful temple, constructed for monks in search of isolation in order better to devote themselves to contemplation.

Thin Strip of Sky

Thin Strip of Sky (Yixian Tian), less than an average of four meters wide, is another wonderful attraction. Only a thin strip of the sky can be seen from the bottom of the valley, which resembles a long, thin silk thread. The length, narrowness, and depth here are rare for national scenic spots.
