Introduction

Rhinoceros Lake is located in the Shuzheng Gully and is the largest lake in the region. Every morning, when the mist lingers, the lake's reflection becomes blurred, making it difficult to distinguish where the sky ends and the water begins. The lake's edge is decorated with colorful leaves, radiating a magnificent glow. The water is vast and surrounded by lush reeds on the north bank, a vibrant forest and a silvery waterfall on the south bank, and a clear blue lake in the center. Against the backdrop of this picturesque scenery, Rhinoceros Lake has become a popular destination for tourists. Legend has it that a Tibetan Lama, who was suffering from a terminal illness, rode a rhinoceros to this place. After drinking the lake's water, he miraculously recovered. From that day on, the Lama fell deeply in love with the place, spending his days and nights by the lake. Eventually, he rode the rhinoceros into the water and remained in the lake forever. Thus, this beautiful lake was named Rhinoceros Lake.
