It is found 22 kilometers (approx. 14 miles) in the
northwest suburb in Guiyang, the
Baihua Lake Scenic Area is a famous tourist attraction, which is
famous for its natural beauty of lakes and hills. The scenery here
is much like that of Li River Scenery in Guilin, thus the scenic
area was given the nickname - 'Little Guilin'.
The landscape there is wonderful. Water in the lake is
clean and tepid, and the green hills standing in the lake resemble
pretty, gentle girls. Many kinds of birds have been attracted to
live there all the year round. In the lake, there are over 100
islands, which make the lake appear like the sky bejeweled with
stars.
Over 50 scenic spots are in this scenic area, of which
23 are now opened to tourists. The names of some of the more notable
scenic spots are: overlooking the Pin Ocean, Two Monkeys Guarding
the Garden, Kwan-yin Cavity on the Maoli Hill, Hongwu Temple on the
Moon Hill, and Birds Island. The Birds Island is a place which
catches tourists' eyes most: When spring or winter comes, a
considerable amount of birds are wheeling above the island, forming
a magnificent spectacle.
The scenic area offers tourists pleasure of rural life:
There are some dozens of families living there. When inhabitants
berth their boats by the island, the whole scenery in the lake forms
a picture full of peace and romance. Flowers bloom and birds fly
through the sky here in spring, with widgeons floating and playing
in the water. |
