Dujuan Lake

　　Introduction Dujuan Lake is situated 92 kilometers northeast of Arxan City, within the Arxan National Forest Park. Covering an area of 128 hectares, it gets its name from the rhododendrons that bloom profusely along its shores. The lake has an "L" shape, with the southeast serving as the inlet and the southwest as the outlet. It connects upstream to Songye Lake and downstream to the Halaha River. With an average depth of 2.5 meters and a maximum depth exceeding 5 meters, Dujuan Lake is a flowing body of active water. When the remnants of snow melt and spring returns, the rhododendrons burst into full bloom, casting a fiery reflection on the lake surface. Flocks of wild ducks gather here, along with gray cranes and geese. Schools of willow-root fish swim actively. The lakeside is adorned with alternating flowers and trees in vivid reds and greens, creating a stunning view. In summer, Dujuan Lake is breathtakingly beautiful, with lotus leaves spreading across the water surface, swaying in the wind, and filling the air with fragrance. In autumn, the water is as clear as a mirror, with fish swimming gracefully beneath. In winter, Dujuan Lake becomes a natural ice-skating rink.
