Baofeng Lake

"At the beginning of the mountain, at the beginning of the water. The beauty of the strange peaks is at ease, and the mountains and rivers are like a book. Mandarin ducks coo, ducks coo. The goddess is lingering in the coo, and Baofeng enters Cuihu." Holy mountain, holy water, saint, holy love, holy song. Baofeng Lake, a holy lake in the sky, is a lake hanging on the top of Zhangjiajie's landform.

Baofeng Lake is the soul of Zhangjiajie's landscape, and is also known as the "classic of the world's lakes". It is located in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie. It is one of the first national 5A-level Attraction and an integral part of the world natural heritage Wulingyuan Scenic Area. It is one of the first batch of China's world natural heritage sites and China's first batch of world geological parks. It is the real-life filming location for TV series such as "Journey to the West" Water Curtain Cave and "Xiangxi Bandit Suppression". It is one of the five boutique tourist routes promoted by the Zhangjiajie Municipal Government. It is a scenic spot dominated by mountains and waters in Zhangjiajie, and is known as the Fairyland on Earth.

As you step into Baofeng Lake, you will immediately see the magnificent Baofeng Waterfall. In front of the waterfall is a natural green landscape stage, the venue for the Chinese Folk Song Festival, and the large-scale landscape performance of the Tima Sacred Song. The performance uses music, dance and other artistic techniques to express the origin, war, migration, production and life of the Tujia people, a glorious national epic.

Go up the ladder, walk across the Happiness Bridge, climb up the Hero Slope, and you will see the high gorge and flat lake. The clear water is surrounded by strange peaks, lush trees, and small islands covered with green, like green pearls, adding a bit of magical charm to the mountains and lakes. "A mirror is hidden deep in the mountains, and moved around the Three Gorges. When the Cruise enters the high mountains, it startles the mandarin ducks to fly in pairs." This is a true portrayal of the scenery of Baofeng Lake. Surrounded by green mountains and a pool of clear water, it is clear enough to reflect people, peaceful and quiet. Boating here is refreshing. There is a saying: "The clear water dyes the mountains green, and the faces of peach blossoms are reflected in the water."

In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, the pure and authentic Tujia folk songs, like the sounds of nature, looming in the lake, mysterious and romantic, have become another beautiful scenery of Baofeng Lake. When the Cruise rowed to the center of the lake and approached A-mei's boat, tourists could invite the shy and delicate Tujia girl with warm applause. The sweet singing voice was pleasing to the ears, and the lingering love song duet kicked off. Tourists were also excited to sing folk songs with A-mei, conveying feelings with songs and establishing love with songs. This is a chance for single men to show their skills, because as long as they can sing three folk songs, they have a chance to win the beauty.

When boating on Baofeng Lake, you can also enjoy the peacock spreading its tail, the golden toad holding the moon, the half-faced Bajie, the mandarin duck bay and other scenic spots. Of course, the most amazing thing is the Baofeng Goddess. The masterpiece of the gods and the lifelike goddess interpret a touching love story - a long time ago, in the mysterious Greater Xiangxi, a pair of lovers fell deeply in love. Their love that transcended the secular world was punished by the "clan rules". The handsome brother was turned into a frog in Baofeng Lake by witchcraft and could never be a human being... The sister learned that she only needed a passionate kiss to turn the brother back into a human being, but the price was to exchange her own life. The sister came to Baofeng Lake without hesitation, but the brother would not allow the sister to sacrifice herself no matter what... The sister waited for the brother to change his mind, and the brother hoped that the sister could find her own happiness as soon as possible... In this way, they stayed together for a thousand years for each other... The Baofeng Goddess used her story to inspire people that true love is for each other and to make each other live better.
