✔️Must-visit spots
❶ Tianchi Secret Pool
The "Soul's Eye" of Daqi Mountain, this glacial barrier lake dazzles with Tiffany-blue waters due to copper ion refraction. Schools of koi fish swim here, like a divine spilled palette.
·
❷ Water Curtain Falls
A 30-meter cascade plunges from cliffs, crashing onto rocks to create rainbow mist. Best viewed after rain—bring a waterproof phone case!
·
❸ Deer Park
Get up close with sika deer! Free carrots provided for feeding—perfect for family trips.

🏠 Stay Recommendation · Chanson French Manor (Daqi Mountain Branch)
