Miaoshan Lake

　　The Helan Mountains stretch endlessly, their southern ridges lying coiled like dragons upon the desert. The mountains are deep blue in hue, and the desert is vast and imposing. It is here, on the eastern side of these mountains and within this desert, that a miraculous place exists — a spring that gushes forth day and night without drying up in drought or swelling in flood. This spring brings an air of mystery and charm to the otherwise rugged and desolate mountains and desert, as well as a touch of vitality and beauty. This is Miaoshan Lake.
