Introduction

One kilometer south of Moon Bay is Wolong Bay, named after a small island shaped like a winged dragon in the water. Local people call it Kazan Lake, which means "pot bottom lake" because of its shape resembling the bottom of a pot. The lake is surrounded by dense forests, colorful flowers, and lush green grass, and the small island in the lake has its own unique scenery. At the outlet of the lake, there is a wooden bridge where one can see the mirror-like Wolong Bay to the north and the turbulent Kanas River to the south.
