Since the beginning of summer, Dongjiang Lake has ushered in the best fog viewing period, with more tourists swarming to enjoy the scenery.
In the early morning, you can paddle a light boat on the still river through the fog, seeing the green mountains on both sides passing, and breathing the fresh oxygen. The fairyland in your dream seems to be just beheld in your eyes.
Mist-enveloped Dongjiang Lake is caused by the temperature effect. The water flows out from the bottom of the dam, which is more than 150 meters deep.
The water temperature remains around 8-10 degrees Celsius all year round. The upper water is hot and the lower water is cold in the morning, and the upper water is cold and the lower water is hot in the evening, thus forming a temperature difference and generating water smoke, giving rise to the dreamlike fog landscape.
The best season to view the fog on Dongjiang Lake is from April to October every year, especially in June, July, August, and September. Due to the high temperature, the fog is relatively thick and beautiful. The best time periods for fog viewing is between 5:30 am and 8:00 am, and between 17:30 pm and 20:30 pm.
