Lake No. 2 in Shennongjia Dajiuhu Scenic Area is a famous viewpoint and photo spot within the park, known for its morning mist, flocks of swans, and reflections of lakeside buildings.
Morning Mist and Sunrise: In the early morning when the mist is thick, the lake reflects the green mountains and buildings with white walls and black tiles, creating the poetic scene of "intoxicated, unaware if the sky is in the water, a boat full of clear dreams pressing on the starry river."
Swan Habitat: Black swans and white swans often swim here, with ripples on the lake complementing the elegant posture of the swans.
Stone Tablet Culture: There is a stone tablet by the lake inscribed with "Blue Qian, Green Kun, Bright Mirror Reflection," depicting the lake scenery and cultural ambiance.
Travel Tips: Best Time for Photos: Early morning from 6:00 to 8:00 or at dusk to capture the combination of swan flocks, morning mist, and lake reflections.
Transportation: You need to transfer to a small train at the scenic area entrance and get off at "Tianwen Lake" station; the whole trip takes about 15 minutes.
Facilities: Nearby is a wetland pavilion where you can learn about ecology, and the Swan Garden is adjacent for close observation of swans.
