Heavenly Jade Pool, Wanlu Lake on Earth

In the green mountains and valleys of northern Guangdong lies a "jade pearl"—Wanlu Lake. The lake's green waters reflect the sky, and the thousand-island landscape intoxicates the Lingnan region. The water here is the "green jade" in the poet's pen, the "thousand miles of landscape" in the painter's eyes, and the "natural oxygen bar" that urbanites yearn for. When you first encounter Wanlu Lake, you will be amazed by its name: distant mountains like ink, and nearby waters like smoke. The green here is layered—the lake surface in the morning mist is like celadon glaze, the waves in the midday sun shimmer with emerald luster, and at dusk, the lake water turns into a piece of quiet black jade. Take a boat and sail slowly, the ripples trailing behind the boat are like scattered green silk, making you feel as if you are in the realm of "a boat sailing on the green waves, and people traveling in the painting." The beauty of Wanlu Lake lies in the many niche attractions in the lake area. Climb Longfeng Island, where century-old pines and rugged rocks showcase the wonders of nature; stroll along the lakeside boardwalk in Shuiyue Bay, where the shadows of bamboo lead you into a Zen-like realm; and the Jinghuayuan Scenic Area weaves the legend of "Jinghuayuan" into the landscape, intertwining myth and reality. If you want to encounter surprises, try paddling a kayak to explore uninhabited islands, where you might see egrets skimming the water or find a wildflower stubbornly growing on a reef, the most lively touch of nature. Stars and greenery, sleeping with the mountains and waters. The night at Wanlu Lake is the most exquisite. When night falls, stay in an eco-cabin by the lake, open the window to see the Milky Way pouring down, and let the chirping of insects and the sound of waves form a natural lullaby; or camp at the stargazing platform, using a telescope to catch a shooting star. In the morning, the mist rising from the lake dances with the mountain mist, and taking a deep breath of air containing 120,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter makes even breathing feel clear and transparent. At this moment, in this scene, you can deeply feel the highest realm of the unity of man, heaven, and earth!
