Where there is a mountain, there is water, and where a beautiful mountain exists, one can also find attractive water. The mountain .gives rise to the water, and the water is the mountains life-blood. The mountain is more splendid as it reflects the mountain. Gracious people enjoy the mountains, and wise ones relish the water. We cant regard them kind women if they find no interest in majestic mountains, neither consider them good men who have no taste for graceful waters.

Baofeng Lake is a veritable place of graceful mountains and charming waterway and for all the kind ,good gracious and wise people. Baofeng Lake .is such a paradise that you would like to visit again and again, whether you have been here or not.
