Introduction

Puzhehei is a plateau freshwater lake, also known as the Lantern Lake or "Pearl Lake". Its name comes from the Yi language, meaning "a water pond full of fish and shrimp".

The length of the lake is about 1.43 kilometers, the widest part is about 0.7 kilometers, and the shoreline is about 20 kilometers long. The entire lake covers an area of about 5.3 square kilometers, and it has an irregular "ten" shape.
