Introducing Peak Forest Scenic Spot

The Fenglin Scenic Spot is the highlight of the Yingxi Fenglin Ten-Li Gallery. There are original ecological plank roads built against the mountain and retro wooden plank roads beside the water. Compared with the peaks and forests, it looks like a beautiful landscape painting.

One of the most striking features of the Fenglin Scenic Area is its reflections. The scenery here is ever-changing, and the reflections present a breathtaking mirror of the sky. The mountains and water are so close together that you can't even tell which is which. This area is a favorite among photography enthusiasts, known as a photography sanctuary and wetland park. Up close, you'll see distant mountains shrouded in mist, vast fields, vibrant flowers, curling smoke, and the fading sun...

The landscape interweaves into a series of beautiful and refreshing pastoral paintings. The breathtaking sight is the small island, graceful and girlish, standing in the center of the lake. Pristine and unadorned, its natural beauty defies further adjectives. Perhaps a celestial being left her ethereal garments here, ultimately transforming into this exquisite celestial wonderland.
