Giant Buddha of Yangtian Lake

2012-09-10

 

Giant Buddha of Yangtian Lake lies on the west of the Yangtian Lake. Covering an area of 40 square kilometers, Yangtian Lake is located on the border of the Hunan and Guangdong province. The main scenic area includes the lake and all grasslands that lay quietly o­n the southwest of Chenzhou, Hunan Province. The Yangtian Lake is a freshwater lake formed by a glacial extinct volcano. The water is so clear and mirrors the blue sky. Around the lake is green pasture and bulrush. The area is totally surrounded in the ocean of the rhododendron during spring and is a joyful red everywhere. The wind breezes o­n the pasture, the cattle and horse stroll o­n the grassland during summer painting a picture of a wonderland o­n the earth. Bright sunshine makes the whole area a golden world with reed flowers flying in the sky, migrating birds soaring up the green grassland in autumn. The mist rises from the lake making the place a fairyland during winter.
