Dinghu Lake
Guangdong · China
Dinghu Mountain is one of the four "Most Renowned Mountains" in Guangdong Province, with waterfalls, dense forest, adventure tracks as well as ancient buddhism temple. We could take the scenic spot car (offered by the tourists management center there) going up and down the mountain and explore the core area walking on foot to experience the "natural oxygen bar". The sky lake reservoir on top of the mountain provides super clean spring water which supply to major cities like Guangzhou. Visitors could take the boat ride on the beautiful Dinghu Lake in the mountain to visit butterfly valley, explore and hike among the primitive forest landscape.
