Datang'ao

　　  Heavenly Lake on Earth — Datang'ao: Located atop the peak of Sanxingpo, it is a radiant jewel formed by the convergence of mountain spring water. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, especially in spring when the mountains are covered with vibrant azaleas. It serves both irrigation and tourism purposes, making it an ideal summer retreat. The area around the lake features low valleys without high mountains nearby, and consists of gently undulating hills covering one square kilometer, with majestic high mountains stretching into the distance. Springs gush from the valleys and converge into streams. Because it is situated high in the clouds on a plateau, it is called the “Heavenly Lake on Earth.” The deepest part of the lake reaches 50 meters. In late spring and early summer, the azaleas by the lake bloom competitively, filling the air with birdsong and floral fragrance. In midsummer and early autumn, cool breezes blow across the rippling blue waters where fish seem to swim among the clouds. Boating leisurely here is endlessly delightful.
