"UP there over the mountain there is a lake. It's 10 li (5 squre kilo-meters) around with waters that never dry. It's the home of the wild goose. Fishing at the Lotus Pond |
A historical notes indicates a lake, the Wild Goose Lake from which, the mountain got its name: Yandang. The name evokes a feeling of nostalgia, and now, the lake has become a lost dream. From which year the lake got dried no one knows, leaving there the same sunrise and sunset with the same rhythms of the wind. However, the dream seekers still find some waters there. The water of the Big Western Waterfall (Xida Pu), the water of the Rainy
Waterfall (Meiyu Pu); and the palm leaves remain green yet in front of the Stone-Beam Cave (Shiliang Dong). Standing on the spot, you'll find the landscape still beautiful, and you yourself, will feel that you are being harmonious with the nature... Return with fishing melody |
The Wild Goose Hill is the "cradle of the Yandang Mountain". In the old days, there was a marsh on the top of the hill. The marsh full of reeds (in Chinese we call it Luwei Dang) used to be the home of wild geese (we call it Da Yan) gathered here in autumn. Hense, the name of "Yandang". "The Sunrise at the Wild Goose Marsh" and "the Cloudy Wild Goose Marsh" are considered the best two scenic views here.
