Heavenly Lake

In summer, the beautiful lake is an ideal cool resort. Boaters on the lake see the ever-changing silvery mountains soaring into the blue sky, their slopes highlighted with verdant pasture and flamboyant wild flowers. Fishing at dusk has its own special charm in your tour. 

Heavenly Lake

As if the natural beauty of Heavenly Lake was not enough, legend adds a mysterious touch. It is said that the West Queen (Xi Wang Mu) entertained King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty (1100 BC - 771 BC) at the Lake. The West Queen fell in love with the king and asked him in her poem, "The white clouds drift while the mountains reach the blue sky. Passing thousands of mountains, crossing ten thousands of rivers, you come to us from a faraway place. If you are still strong and fine, would you like to come back to us again ?" The king answered in his poem, "After I go back to central China and lead the people to a prosperous life, I will come to you again." We do not know why the king never returned. Only the placid lake and the silent mountains witnessed the lovesickness of the West Queen.
