We just went into a shallow metal canoe and were floated around for 20 minutes - maybe we did the wrong thing? Horses waited and that trek up & down the mountain on small dirt paths offered stunning views and a few adrenaline kicks. You might want to have set your bottom on a horse at least once before...!

After horse back riding, our 6 year old got hungry and smelled the grilled fish while taking a boat onto Lashi Lake. We ordered one portion of little grilled fish at 20rmb which filled 2 and a half paper cups...they were fresh and hit the spot for a nice snack! More

A little cool so if you go during winter, when the birdlife is at its best, rug up well. The majestic Cranes are well worth the chill factor though. More

It is nicest after the rainy season, I would think. Some rare birds stop by every now and then, if I was interested in birds I would probably know when; still a good area do a little hiking. Horseriding there is a bit overprized, but a nice way to get to know local people and say hi to a 100... More

Went to take a boat ride which is part of the package for the horse ride on the ancient tea road. The boatman wasn't too friendly, but the boat ride itself more then made up for this. We went in the evening, and during winter - where there are a lot of migrant birds. The colour, the peace and quieet... More

Nothing to see, just a common lake / river and yet has to pay CNY $30 to enter. I rather donate the money to charity. If you go for horse riding, you had to pay way more. More

After checking into a guesthouse in the old town, the lady boss suggested this place as the weather was great for outdoor fun. She arranged a taxi for us and were joIned by her friend and a Chinese indie traveler. Once there we were shocked by the prices for pony rides. About 480yuan. I politely decline as I told them...
