Shudu Lake (Shuoduhai
Lake)
The first thing that hits most visitors
to Shudu Lake, is the sheer beauty of the spot. The lake is
known for its clear water, and the peaceful environment of
the area around here. As the source of the Shuoduogang River,
the lake is 3705m above sea level and covers an area of 15
square kilometers. The lake abounds in unique species of fish,
with double lips and a golden color. Bordering the lake is
one of the best grazing fields in Zhongdian. Every spring
and summer, herds of cattle and flocks of sheep can be seen
grazing here. To the east of the lake are white birch woods
which in spring and summer are jade green while in late autumn
the leaves turn gold. In the untouched woods, wildlife such
as bear, musk dear, lynx and leopard all live.
