[Complete Travel Guide to Sun Lake] A Stunning, Lesser-Known Secret Spot! Must-Save

📍Location: Sun Lake Scenic Area (location attached) 💰Tickets: CNY 80/person during peak season, CNY 50 during off-season (half price with student ID) ⏰Recommended visit: 3–4 hours (the light is best for photos after 4pm!) 🔥Must-see highlights: 1️⃣ Emerald Bay Viewing Platform 270° panoramic view of the lake! When the morning mist lingers, it's like a fairyland. The popular "Sky Mirror" photo spot is here (it is recommended to wear a bright-colored long dress). 2️⃣ Waterside Forest Boardwalk A 2 km lakeside wooden boardwalk that is super healing as you wander through the cedar forest! The aerial view is stunning (drones can be rented in the scenic area). 3️⃣ Sunset Sailboat The last sailboat departs at 17:30 every day. The golden lake + white sail silhouette is absolutely beautiful! (Remember to line up 1 hr in advance) 🍴Foodie TIP: · Be sure to order the steamed egg with whitebait at "Huxian Renjia" at the entrance of the scenic area. · Homemade mulberry ice drink is super refreshing (CNY 15/cup) 🚗Transportation Guide: Drive yourself and navigate to "Sun Lake East Parking Lot" Take the tourist line directly from the high-speed rail station (1 bus per hour) 💡Hidden features: There is a bonfire party every Saturday night! The terrace rooms at the lakeside B&B "Shiguang Xiaozhu" let you lie down and watch the stars. ⚠️Precautions: · Protect yourself from the sun! There is no shade along the way. · Drones are prohibited from flying over the lake island reserve. 📸Photo outfit: Hanfu/vacation style are great for photos. Remember to bring a reflector! Backlighting is amazing. 🌟Bonus at the end of the article: Say "I love Sun Lake" to the staff to redeem an exclusive postcard~
