Noon: Eat fresh lake fish at the fishing village restaurant, silverfish tofu pot is incredibly fresh~
Afternoon: Rent an electric bike to circle the island, only stop at Wanggu Pavilion and Rock Gallery for photos, easy 5 km tour.

📸Lazy photo tips:
Use fishing village wooden boats and fishing nets as backgrounds, casual shots look artistic.
At sunset, take silhouette photos with your phone, no editing needed, just post to social media!
⚠️Attention to details:
Last boat at 17:30! Plan your time well.
