Swan Lake in Guyuan | A great place to cool off and escape the summer heat

At the end of July, my family went on a trip to the Bashang area of Hebei, and we stumbled upon the peaceful and beautiful Swan Lake in Guyuan County, which made us linger and forget to return. Swan Lake is located three kilometers north of the county seat of Guyuan, covering an area of 400 acres, with a water area of 150 acres, a natural freshwater lake surface, and rippling blue waves, with a good ecological environment. The place is full of green mountains, clear waters, lush grass, beautiful flowers, refreshing air, and clear winds. When the grass grows and the warblers fly, countless swans, cranes, wild ducks, and other waterfowl rest and pass by here, making it a paradise for birds, hence the name Swan Lake. After entering the scenic area, we rented a four-person bicycle with a canopy and rode along the forest path towards the lake. The first thing that caught our eye was a sea of flowers, with two types of flowers, Celosia and Corn Poppy, blooming beautifully in the fresh air and bright sunshine. When we arrived at the lakeside, we saw a huge Guanyin statue on a small island extending into the lake, and on the shore dock, there was a large rock with the three big characters of 'Swan Lake' engraved on it, where some people were taking commemorative photos. We cycled along the lake, with the breeze on our faces, which was very pleasant. Next to a small grove, we stopped again to take photos on the grass, with trees and grass on one side and lake water and mountains on the other, creating a picturesque scene that was intoxicating. Due to time constraints, we had to end our trip and leave Swan Lake reluctantly. In my heart, I said: Goodbye, Swan Lake, I will come back again!
