Fairy Lake, a renowned scenic spot in the Bamboo Sea, lies atop the mountaintop of Xianyu Cave, twelve kilometers from Wanling Bridge. Together with Tianbao Village and Xianyu Cave, it forms a loop of the scenic area. Spanning over thirty mu (approximately 16 acres), its waters are crystal clear and emerald green. From dawn to sunset, the lake, bathed in a dazzling array of rosy clouds, resembles a magnificent golden basin. Amidst the morning mist and rain, verdant mountains and lush bamboo create a stunning watercolor painting.
I've been here before and had a water fight. 👻
Fairy Lake, one of the most famous scenic spots in the Bamboo Sea, is located on the top of the mountain near Xianyu Cave. Covering over 30 mu (approximately 1.5 acres), the lake boasts clear, emerald green waters. Amidst the morning mist and rain, the green mountains and verdant bamboo create a stunning watercolor painting.
It is fun to ride a bamboo raft in the Shunan Bamboo Sea and drift on the lake.
The Seven-Colored Waterfall is also known as the Soul-Falling Terrace. The Jiang'an County Chronicle states: "The waterfalls in Wanlingqing, north and south, are almost like those in Mount Lu." The springs, flowing freely from all over the place, imbue the deep and secluded bamboo sea with spiritual energy; the undulating rocks often form hanging springs and waterfalls. Among the dozens of waterfalls in the mountains, the Seven-Colored Waterfall is the most spectacular. Also known as Fairy Lake
Fairy Lake is the highest natural lake in the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea. Legend has it that fairies once bathed here.
The quiet Shunan Bamboo Sea is very suitable for a slow tour. It is recommended to spend more time in it and not rush.
It's just an ordinary small lake, and it feels like someone has blocked the road artificially. You can only pay to take a boat across, which is a very bad experience.
Fairy Lake is located on the top of the mountain in Xianyu Cave, forming a loop with Tianbao Village and Xianyu Cave.
In the Shunan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, there are many small areas. There are layers of mist floating over the surface of the Fairy Lake from time to time, just like fairies floating over.
Another lake tour project that you must try. It feels very pleasant to sit on a bamboo raft and tour the lake.
The lake is not big, far smaller than other seas in the sea, and it is the only way to get to Tianbao Village.
The scenery is average. You have to take a bamboo raft to cross the lake. It costs 6 yuan per person and it takes 2 minutes to cross the lake. It's really a rip-off.
It is artificially developed, the water area is not very big, clean and calm, so you can go rafting there.
It's just a fish pond. It's too expensive to build a boat.
The water quality is poor, the lake is small, and it only takes half an hour to see it all. There is nothing much to see. However, there are many places selling wild delicacies outside.
Fairy Lake is just average, a very small lake, but Xianyu Cave and Tianbao Village are pretty good.
The most worthwhile place to visit is the highest peak of the bamboo sea. All the previous scenery can be seen here. It is really beautiful.
Yes, you can row a bamboo raft and enjoy the bamboo forests on both sides of the river.
If only life could be like the first time we met...
I went to this place a long time ago, more than 20 years ago.
The scenery is pleasant, the landscape is beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters.
The lake is located in the bamboo sea, and you can take a boat on the lake. It is fun to enjoy the sightseeing, but you must be mentally prepared. It will consume a lot of physical energy. You will never imagine how strenuous it is before rowing.
It's a relatively small lake, and it's really crowded with people rowing, but it's very quiet.
It's a paradise on earth, absolutely stunning. Not only is the air and environment beautiful, but there are lush green trees everywhere. Summer is perfect for a visit – it's not only cool but also relaxing. You can go boating, see the beautiful scenery, and take tons of photos. Plus, the prices are affordable, and the food is delicious.
Fairy Lake is not big, and the bamboos on both sides are lush green.
It's very beautiful, the scenery is great, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold on the day we went.
It feels like a park. I have high expectations for the Shunan Bamboo Sea.
Off-season boat trips are more affordable, but you can still enjoy the same scenery.
It might feel better in summer, but I didn’t get to eat a lot of delicious food.
The scenery is beautiful, the lake is clear and it is cool in summer
The place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was filmed, with a large bamboo sea, is very refreshing. The scenic area is quite large and it is difficult to walk around it in one day.
After visiting short, concise attractions like the so-called Emerald Corridor, arriving at Fairy Lake was like, wow! This is the real Bamboo Sea. Upon entering, I was greeted by vast expanses of bamboo forest, sparsely populated, and truly captivating. Perhaps even the artistic conception on screen truly requires a real-world context to capture. I was mesmerized by this sea of bamboo. I wish I could stay there for a month or so to satisfy my long-held yearning for bamboo forests. After strolling through the bamboo sea for a while, I came upon a small lake called Fairy Lake. A ferry service took me across the lake, and we continued on to the next leg of our journey.
Simply put, it is a lake on the mountain with bamboo rafts available for boating. The scenery is not very beautiful and not as good as I imagined.
The scenery is beautiful and the view is great, it is worth a visit.
Fairy Lake is the highest natural lake in the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea. Although the lake is not very big, it is quite famous because fairies once bathed here.
In the past, Fairy Yaoqing, who had lived in the mortal world for a long time, couldn't help but miss Jinluan and the other fairies in the celestial palace. However, she was reluctant to leave because she had to protect the Bamboo Sea. Furthermore, Fairy Yaoqing also wanted her sisters to come and enjoy the beauty of the mortal world. So, she asked a magpie to deliver a message to the fairies: every full moon night, they would gather by this lake surrounded by green mountains. So, on such bright and clear moonlit nights, several fairies would always come to play in the lake, never wanting to leave.
Is this a tourist attraction?
The scenery of Shunan Bamboo Sea is really boring.
For people who live in Dalian for a long time, the water here is really not worth seeing, and the bamboo rafts are super expensive... There is nothing to see, so there is no need to come here.
Five guys went boating, and a bunch of girls yelled at us.
Fairy Lake, the highest natural lake in the Shunan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, is located in Wanling Town, Changning County, Yibin City. Though small, it's renowned due to the fact that fairies once bathed here. Once upon a time, the fairy Yaoqing, having long lived on earth, yearned for the Golden Luan and the other fairies in the celestial palace. However, she was reluctant to leave, as she had to protect the bamboo sea and wished her sisters would come and enjoy the beauty of the human world. So, she sent a magpie to deliver a message to the fairies, promising them a reunion every full moon night by the lake, surrounded by verdant mountains.
To be honest, it's not that great. I went there that day and they said it would cost 400 yuan to rent a boat.
There are many lakes in the scenic area, which are similar in nature and you can choose to visit them selectively.
A scenic spot in the Shunan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, it is very boring and the lake water is not clear. The worst thing is that there is no bridge when you walk to the lake. You can either walk back or take a bamboo raft across the lake for 5 yuan per person, which is simply a rip-off and forced charging.
It is cool in summer, there are many mosquitoes, and there is not much scenery to see.
Personally, I think this attraction is a bit of a scam... It's okay to take a look~
It's a must-go road on the scenic route. I don't remember much about the scenery. I just remember that you had to take a bamboo raft to cross the lake, which seemed a bit forced.
The calm lake surface is like a mirror, with occasional birds flying by, creating ripples.
It is not as beautiful as I imagined. Maybe it has a beautiful meaning and looks ordinary.
A good place to cleanse your lungs on weekends. The air is very good and it is especially cool in the summer.
The lake is small but very quiet. The water is green and not very clear because you can't see the bottom. There is a fairy sculpture in the center of the lake. I don't know which came first, the fairy or the lake, but it is called Fairy Lake. It is especially suitable for young couples to spend time together.
There is a fairy sculpture in the center of the lake. You can row a boat in the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the bamboo sea around it.
The small attractions in the scenic spot are all the same after seeing them for a long time, but they are cooler.
You can row a boat, the scenery is nice, the bamboo raft feels good, it's worth a visit
It's not very big. To be honest, it feels a bit like the small pond in People's Park, but surrounded by bamboo.
The whole walk takes a long time, with some uphill climbs, but the scenery is really nice.
The lake is quite big and nice, you can take a boat tour. I think the best attraction in Shunan Bamboo Sea is this one.
I heard that this is the filming location of Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, but the lake water is not clean anymore, so I don't have a good impression of it.
Bamboo rafting is a unique experience. The lake is very quiet. It's more fun with more people. It costs 100 yuan per trip, with no time limit.
The scenery is beautiful, the environment is beautiful and the air is fresh.
It costs a lot of money to go across once...but it's a long way to go back. Pitfall!
There is a fairy lying in the middle of the Fairy Lake. Although the lake is small, the scenery is still very beautiful.
After passing Tianbao Village, it's a short walk to Fairy Lake and Sea in the Sea. In the golden sunset, the emerald bamboos are slightly dim, and the color is so beautiful that you don't want to leave.
A tranquil little lake amidst a vast sea of bamboos offers breathtaking scenery, allowing one to deeply savor the tranquility and sense of relief.
One word: beautiful, two words: very beautiful, three words: too beautiful. The fruit machine photos are already too H, if they had a cannon, it would probably make the headlines!
It's really like a fairy, so peaceful and hazy
Very quiet, beautiful scenery, good air place
You need to take a boat to cross the lake. The boat ride on the lake is very beautiful with the quiet lake surface and lush bamboos all around.
It's a beautiful place, everyone had a great time
I went there in junior high school, and I think I went there for the second time. The air was so hot.
Not very... The environmental pollution is quite serious
It is a place for local people to have fun and vacation. They can take a bamboo raft tour on the lake. If foreign tourists don’t have much time, there is no need to make a special trip there.
Fairy Lake is a small lake in the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area. It is located on the top of the mountain of Xianyu Cave and forms a circle with Tianbao Village and Xianyu Cave.
It's not very big, the boat ticket is a bit expensive, there are not many tourists, and it's suitable for taking pictures
I had already walked quite far through the scenic spots of Xianyu Cave and Tianbao Village, and I was very skeptical about how I could get back to the cable car station by following this bamboo forest. I would have to keep going forward, and there was no way I was going back!
After passing through the bamboo forest, there is a pond and no road!!
I saw some tourists taking a bamboo raft. After asking, I found out that they had to spend 5 yuan to cross the lake before they could continue on their journey.
The lake is not very wide, and the bamboo rafts are not equipped with any mechanical devices (they are pure green). They are pulled back manually by people on the other side. They earn this 5 yuan! Otherwise, tourists would have nowhere to go!
Just think of it as me picking up another scenic spot in the Shunan Bamboo Sea: Fairy Lake.
