Yangtian Lake [Chenzhou]

The Lake is located on the border of the Hunan and Guangdong province. The main scenic area includes the lake and all grasslands that lay quietly on the southwest of Chenzhou, Hunan Province. The Yangtian Lake is a freshwater lake formed by a glacial extinct volcano. The water is so clear and mirrors the blue sky. Around the lake is green pasture and bulrush. The area is totally surrounded in the ocean of the rhododendra during spring and is a joyful red everywhere. The wind breezes on the pasture, the cattle and horse stroll on the grassland during summer painting a picture of a wonderland on the earth. Bright sunshine makes the whole area a golden world with reed flowers flying in the sky, migrating birds soaring up the green grassland in autumn. The mist rises from the lake making the place a fairyland during winter.

Yangtian Lake Grassland also made the legend of the pasturage in the south China. The Grassland is the closest grassland to Guangdong. More than 1,300 hectares of lush grass cover this southern area, which also site a 1.3-hectare volcanic lake originating from the Quaternary Period. Another important spot of this area is the Giant Buddha of Yangtian Lake, which laid on the west of the lake. On a stone mountain of 1277 meters above sea level this completely natural 300 meters high hill is shaped like a men’s head resting against the mountain.
