Lotus Sea Forest Park is not large in scale. It is located on the western Sichuan plateau in the vast area. The mountains are full of vegetation and beautiful natural scenery. Although the altitude is more than three kilometers, the content of negative oxygen ions in the air is very high and the high reaction is not obvious.
Lotus sea is located in Kangding Pusharong Township, Ganzi Prefecture. It is a high-mountain freshwater lake, surrounded by grasslands, forests, snow-capped mountains, picturesque scenery, especially the water of Haizi with dead trees floating, like a life-like theme oil painting. Lotus Sea Forest Park is a natural landscape complex on the whole. The scenic forest is colorful, the meadows are beautiful, the canyon is deep, the glacier is magical, the stream is flowing, and the scenery is infinitely beautiful.
Lotus Sea National Forest Park is a original ecological scenic spot. It is located in Lotus Lake Village, Sharong Township, Kangding City, Sichuan. When you arrive at Lotus Sea National Forest Park, there is a railing to charge. It is said that it is a garbage fee of 20 yuan per person. I hope to protect this original ecological natural landscape! The sun is shining, the lake is sparkling, the mountains on both sides of the Straits are towering, and the colorful forests are in a hurry to take pictures and return to the original way. It is very pleasant to see tourists soaking their feet in the hot springs to get tired.
Natural oxygen bar, a good place to relax and relax, beautiful scenery!
