The lake is very large, you must take a cruise to reach the scenic spot, it takes more than an hour to climb the mountain, and there are more steps at the beginning. The back is very gentle, friendly to the elderly, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. The only regret is that there is some garbage floating on the lake. I hope to clean it up in time.
Worth going. It is a good choice for team building. It is also a good place for old and young to travel, the place is not too time-consuming (except for festivals). But the scenery is beautiful! It is very convenient to eat around. A good place to recommend.
The scenery is very good, there are water and mountains, the mountains are green and green, more beautiful than Qiandao Lake, the climbing slope is not big, mainly walking, and there is not much physical exertion. The dam pier recently took a speedboat, the Golden Turtle Pier did a medium-sized Clippers, and the Jinpo Pier took the big boat the farthest. We took the big boat from the Golden Turtle Pier and the experience was good.

In general, the scenery here is beautiful and suitable for the elderly and children. It will not climb too high mountains. The scenery is beautiful all the way. You can also experience the coolness of taking a boat. The only downside is that there are many people waiting in line for a long time on holidays. It is perfect to go to Taihang Water Town at night.
The scenery of small Guilin in the north is beautiful. The Qingming holiday tourists are like weaving. The waiting time is too long. Because there is no staff to guide, there are too many people in the plug. The mountain is not high and it is easy to climb. Due to the low temperature, many trees have not sprouted, but the low place has been full of mountain flowers.
