Xian' Dao Lake is not a fairyland but is more enchanting than one, with extremely beautiful scenery, it's a haven on earth.
Xian' Dao Lake is also a provincial-level ecological tourism scenic area, a CCTV film and television shooting base, and a national 4A-level scenic spot. It is known as one of the 'Three Great Thousand Island Lakes' in the world, alongside Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou and Thousand Islands Lake in Canada.
Xian' Dao Lake has undergone tremendous changes over time. The Tang dynasty poet Luo Binwang's hermitage and mausoleum's holy relics are still present, the 'Flying Bell' from the late Ming dynasty's Jiajing year of Jia Yin is well-preserved, and the inscriptions on the 'Ling Tong Xian Dao' stele are clear and distinct.
