Bitahai Lake
 A primitive cover of coniferous
trees, and highland lakes, are hallmarks of the Bitahai Lake Scenic
Resort, a 1,418-hectare nature reserve at an altitude of 3,539 metres
and 25 kilometres east of Zhongdian County. The Bitahai Lake, Lying in
the heart of the nature reserve, covers 166 hectares with an average
depth of 20 metres and a transparency of a dozen metres. The surface
of the lake is spangled with jadeite-like isles. Trees of tender and
graceful foliage, and groves of azaleas in a riot of colour, are
scattered
 providently around the lake. A cruise on the lake is
suggestive of a pleasant journey into the unadorned beauty of nature.
It takes about 90 minutes to cover the seven-kitometer trip from the
end of a highway to the Bitahai Lake by foot or horse. |
