I've drawn the route map in the last two pictures. If you're not clear, you can take a look. You can choose to take a taxi to the Seven Star Crags Bridge. After crossing the bridge, you can see the big words of Seven Star Crags, where you can take pictures and check in. Then walk to the East Gate, check the ticket and enter, or choose to enter from the South Gate, both are similar. After entering, just keep going forward. There is a Star Lake bamboo raft on the way. If you want to take a bamboo raft, buy a ticket there. The area I circled in white on my map is the range of the bamboo raft tour. When you get to the Red Lotus Bridge, there are lotus flowers planted there, you can enjoy the lotus. After crossing the bridge, you will reach the Fish Viewing Pavilion. There are a lot of fish in the water. You can go and buy some fish feed to feed the fish. There is also an Iron Chain Bridge that you can walk on. I went around to the Iron Chain Bridge and then to the north side of Tianzhu Rock. There is a mountain climbing trail. It takes about half an hour to climb up. It's not very high, but the view on the mountain is very good. It's worth climbing. From the top, you can see the whole view of the Seven Star Crags scenic area. The P3.4.5 I took is taken from the mountain. There is a Zhaixing Pavilion on the top of the mountain where you can rest. Then go down the mountain from another mountain trail, which is to the south side of Tianzhu Rock, so you don't have to go back. After coming down the mountain, go forward past the Red Lotus Bridge to the Star Lake Cruise-Zen Forest Dock. If you buy the boat ticket online, you need to buy it half an hour in advance. It's a few dollars cheaper online. The boat ticket includes a round trip. First, take the boat to Flamingo Island. The island is quite small. It's just to see flamingos. There are not many flamingos, about ten to twenty. They look pretty good when photographed. Cross a bridge and you can see the red-crowned crane. You can also buy fish to feed the red-crowned crane. After watching, take the boat again to the Star Lake Wetland Park. If you don't take the boat, you can also enter the Star Lake Wetland Park from another gate. It's just a bit far, but you can't go to Flamingo Island without taking a boat. If you're not interested in birds, you don't have to take a boat. In the wetland park, you can see the Reclining Buddha with Elixir, one of the ten scenes of Star Lake. It's beautiful at sunset. I didn't wait for the sunset when I went, so I only took one picture in P13. Then go forward past Fairy Lake, Lingzhi Island, to Shidu Ancient Temple, which is the last scenic spot. Next to the ancient temple is the dock. Take the boat back to the starting point, Star Lake Cruise-Zen Forest Dock. After a round, it's almost finished. After the boat ride, the nearest exit is the North Gate. If you want to go back to the East Gate or South Gate, it will take half an hour. I exited from the North Gate, and it took about ten minutes to walk out.
