The main scenic area covers an area of 88 square kilometers. The protection zone covers an area of 150 square kilometers. The forest coverage rate reaches 92%. The lake is a great tourist resort and is nearly 40 kilometers long. A sea of mist covers the vast expanse of water and with the sky and water merging at the horizon, it looks like a dragon playing a pearl from west to East. Thus, it's also called "Dragon Lake".
