The clouds on the plateau are real “drama queens”! Rent a small electric scooter and leisurely ride around the lake with your kids. Although the midday sun is a bit strong, the clouds in the sky are stunning~ Fluffy like freshly made cotton candy, floating in the crisp blue sky, their shadows cast on the water gently sway with the waves, more lively than the wildflowers on the shore. The kids watch and describe the shapes of the clouds to me—so heartwarming!
