Fuxian Lake

Fuxian Lake, nestled in Yuxi City of Yunnan Province, is China’s deepest freshwater lake and one of its clearest—so transparent that ancient submerged villages have been discovered on its bed. Surrounded by gentle hills and lush greenery, it offers serene boat rides, scenic cycling paths along the lakeshore, and opportunities to savor fresh local fish dishes. Its pristine waters, rich biodiversity, and tranquil atmosphere make it a perfect escape for nature lovers and photographers alike. Recommended places to visit: Star Fish Cave/明星鱼洞 (kayaking, sailing), Moon Bay Wetland/月亮湾湿地 (beach), the Instagram-famous S-shaped bend road/网红s弯, and Sun Mountain Town/太阳山小镇 (accommodation, sunset viewing).
