In recent years, the Duo Lake Cycling Road Race has become a major tourism brand, providing solid prerequisites for establishing it as a 4A-level scenic destination. Since its development, Duo Lake has consistently emphasized ecological conservation while continuously launching high-quality tourism routes and distinctive agritourism and fruit-picking experiences.

Covering a total area of 2.2 square kilometers, Duo Lake is abundant in springs and known for its excellent water quality and reputation for producing carp. Legend has it that there were originally no carp in Duo Lake.

To this day, locals still refer to Duo Lake as "Carp Pond." The descendants of those dozen or so carp, originally brought over in cowhide bags, have thrived and multiplied, becoming an inexhaustible treasure for the local people.
