Introduction

"The Milk Sea is an ancient glacial lake located at the foot of Mount Yongshen in Yaomaying. It is not large in size and has a shape like a drop of water. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and the lake water is clear and transparent, while the lakeside is surrounded by a circle of milky white, hence the name. The depth of the lake varies, and the water appears slightly dark near the shore due to ancient plant deposits. As the depth increases, the water becomes even more vividly blue and transparent. Standing still in this place, looking back at the mountain, the clouds and mist swirl around it, and the feeling of desolation is overwhelming."
