Baofeng Lake

Baofeng Lake is a large body of water in Suoxi Valley Nature Reserve of Zhangjiajie. This is quite rare in the mountainous area and the lake is the only water themed scenic sopt in Zhangjiajie. After visiting a variety of mountains and valleys, the clear water brings visitors different feelings. Baofeng Lake is surrounded by mountains with many waterfalls pouring down. In addition to appreciating the clear lake, climbing the mountain surrounding the lake is also a nice thing to do.Baofeng Lake is 72 meters (79 yards) deep and 2,500 meters (2,730 yards) long. It is surrounded by steep peaks and there are two small islands in the lake. One can take the Baofeng Lake cruise to appreciate the clear lake reflecting the peaks and the peculiar magnificent mountain scenery which is formed by strange peaks, waterfalls, and lush trees.

If you are lucky enough, you can meet the local lovely girls who are rowing a bamboo raft while singing the folk songs. Enjoying the scenery of Baofeng Lake on the cruise is totally different from on the shore. It is a special and wonderful experience.
 

Temple Relics on Yingwo Village

It is said that there was once a bandits' village on the mountain top, hence the name, literally meaning eagles' nest, referring that bandits occupy the land like eagles. No village has been left nowadays, but the place is a great place for mountaineering. When climbing, visitors will pass through two steep peaks crowded together, leaving a gap in the middle. It is called One-Line Sky because only a slim strip of sky can be seen above. The height of the footsteps that inside One-Line Sky is more than 100 meters (110 yards) and can only accommodate one person walking.

Reaching the top of A Thread of Sky, there is another scenery. One can see an ancient temple at a short distance. On the left side is a “Echo Wall” with a height of more than 80 meters (88 yards) and a width of more than 30 meters (33 yards). Standing in front of the wall to shout, one can hear the echo wandering around. On the right side there is a huge stone called Qingtai Stage hanging over the canyon. Boarding the Qingtai Stage, one can see a variety of strange peaks and stones around.
