Introduction

The scenic area centers around Bailong Lake and includes attractions such as Qinglong Island, Cuizhu Island, and Biyun Island. Its feature is the exhibition of mountains and waters and the many small islands and peninsulas in the water, with a very wide area. There are 7 small islands and 3 peninsulas in the lake, which have been known as "Yunnan's Thousand Island Lake" since ancient times. Dense forests grow on the islands, making it a habitat for migratory birds. Bailong Lake belongs to a plateau freshwater lake, with blue-green water and a general transparency of 4-5 meters in every season, characterized by clear transparency. Even during the flood season, it is rare to see muddy water. The autumn and winter seasons are the most beautiful time of the scenic area, where there are plenty of wild ducks and white egrets appearing in pairs, and the schools of fish in the lake will also appear from time to time.
