A variaty of plants including Tibetan magnolia, Sichuan redwood, tetracentron and katsura trees can be found around this pond. During dry season, its silt come out of water with trunks standing in the middle of it. But during monsoon season, the view there is quite nice. It is always misty all year round. The meadow right beside the lake is a good spot for photographers. No dwellers currently but usually some Chinese backpackers can be found along this route.
