Natural scenery

Introduction

Enter the main entrance of Nianbaoyuze Scenic Area and walk along the plank road, you can see the first lake - XianNv Lake. The road is now accessible to the XianNv Lake area. The lake water here is crystal clear, and you can see the highland lake fish underwater clearly. Every morning and evening, surrounded by thick fog and serene elegance, locals will throw agate, silver coins, and wind horses into the lake to pray for good luck. In the southeast corner of XianNv Lake stands a huge stone with a deep mark on its surface, leading straight into the lake. Legend has it that this is where the daughter of the Nianbao Mountain god married a hunter. Therefore, there is a Wensang Pool platform built under the stone, surrounded by fluttering prayer flags and continuous incense burning. Tourists can directly go to the XianNv Lake rental horse area from the entrance of the scenic area by car, which is about 4 kilometers away.
