There are many lakes and lakes formed by volcanic eruptions around the world, but lakes and rocks are different. It is a heart-shaped lake formed by the evaporation of water from the magma during the eruption of the volcano, known as the Malang Lake. There are only two lakes in the world, and Malang Lake in Zhanjiang is the largest in the world. But do you know why goldfish are actually raised in the lakes of Huguangyan? This answer is engraved on the wall of the millennium. If you want to know, you can find the answer yourself. There are only two preserved lakes in the world: one in Germany and one in the lakes of Zhanjiang. Huguangyan looks from a high altitude and presents a heart shape. The lake is not too big, and you can see the other side at a glance. The lake is crystal clear and the green plants are everywhere. It takes about 3-4 hours to walk along the greenway.

As we turned around the last ridge, the entire primeval secondary forest suddenly burst into view. Morning mist wandered among the trees, transforming varying shades of green into a misty ink painting. Sunlight scattered like gold flakes on the stone path, and on the moss-covered spots, several wild dendrobium orchids were blooming with bell-like white flowers. ❤The stream appeared and disappeared at our feet, with water sounds tinkling like jade pendants. Following the stream upward, wisteria flower corridors hung down like natural curtains. Amid the floating fragrance, we suddenly saw a 600-year-old ginkgo tree soaring into the clouds. In the dappled light filtered through the tree canopy, an old herb gatherer was collecting morning dew in a bamboo tube. ❤The moment we turned around the cliff, everyone held their breath—a five-tiered waterfall was plunging from a hundred meters high, and among the rainbow bridge woven by water mist, flocks of blue-throated sunbirds were darting through the waterfall in search of food. The deep pool below the cliff was emerald green; scooping up a handful of cool water, tiny fish fry swam between my fingers. ❤At noon, while eating bamboo tube rice under a thousand-year-old yew tree, a tea-selling grandmother pointed to the sea of clouds in the distance: "See that lingzhi mushroom-shaped cloud? When it floats to Eagle Beak Rock, it's time to head down the mountain." The tea had a few pieces of wild Solomon's seal, with a sweet aftertaste carrying the fresh air of the wilderness. ❤This hidden paradise, without an A-level scenic area plaque, still measures time by its growth rings. Fortunately, it hasn't yet become an internet celebrity check-in spot, allowing us to exclusively enjoy this green private feast—the moss-covered ancient path remembers our gentle footsteps, while the mountains silently roll our exclamations into the pine waves.
