Introduction
Pearl Lake stretches for 9 kilometers with a water area of approximately 5 square kilometers. The lake water is clear and calm like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding green mountains, blue sky and white clouds, making for a beautiful scenic view. Visitors can enjoy boating, fishing and leisure activities at the lake. The first railway arch bridge in Asia spans across the lake, making for a unique addition to the landscape. There is also a natural village nearby called Xinghua Village, which is covered in blooming apricot blossoms during spring. The steep mountains on both sides of the lake are covered in moss in summer and autumn, while flowers bloom in a vibrant display. In winter, the lake freezes over and becomes covered in snow, creating a picturesque scenery. The combination of the lake and surrounding mountains make for a tranquil and enjoyable experience.
