Ertan | Qianda Bay

❥ Qianda Bay, one of the scenic spots of Ertan National Forest Park, is the most quintessential part of Ertan Forest Park and a must-visit place in Ertan. After crossing the Santan Gully Bridge, you will reach Qianda Bay, which is known as the Hundred-Mile Gallery, the ink-wash Ertan. This place is the Hundred-Mile Gallery of Ertan, the fairyland-like Qianda Bay. ❥ Qianda Bay has facilities such as Wangjiang Pavilion, Wangfo Pavilion, Zuiweng Pavilion, Ruohai Square, Qianda Bay Ecological and Cultural Corridor, Riverside Walkway, and cultural pillar attractions like 'Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity' and 'Yalong River'. In 2008, it was rated as a national 4A-level tourist attraction. ❥ Along the way, you will see signs for the European Campsite. It is said that the European Campsite brought a large number of foreign experts to Ertan through international bidding. More than 600 foreigners from 43 countries around the world participated in the construction of Ertan, and this place is humorously referred to as the multinational force and the mini United Nations. There is an outdoor exhibition hall next to the Riverside Walkway, which provides a detailed introduction to Ertan Forest Park. ❥ Ertan Forest Park is located in the transitional zone between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains, a typical subtropical forest ecosystem, and the dry-hot river valley sparse tree and shrub ecosystem is well preserved. This place is not only a sanctuary of nature but also a habitat for countless creatures. The vegetation here is lush, with green trees providing shade, truly green waters and green mountains, with a high gorge out of a flat lake covering 101 square kilometers, and a high forest coverage rate, making it a natural oxygen bar hidden away for leisure and vacation. ❥ Looking down from the observation deck, the sunlight shines on the lake surface, making the water shimmer. The observation deck here is called Wangfo Pavilion, and you can walk to the Riverside Walkway from the pavilion. The scenery of the phoenix flowers on the opposite bank of the river is picturesque, the river water is clear and green, the leaves flutter with the wind, and the climate is suitable, with fresh air, extremely pleasant. Mountains, canyons, lakes, forests, the vast misty green lake, and the vast primeval forest nestled among the green mountains and waters, quiet and tranquil. As the sun slowly sets, a mist arises, the mountain shadows on the opposite side become more and more blurred, and the surroundings become quieter and quieter, with the landscape relying on nature, everything in sight is a painting.
