Nian Bao Yu Ze

Shen Tian Hou Garden has become a swan song

The beauty of Nian Bao Yu Ze is a casual photo.

The beauty here is in Guoluo Mountain, which is always surrounded by clouds and steam, and countless towering peaks are looming in layers of clouds. Clouds surround the mountains, beautiful as a fairyland.

The beauty here is in Fairy Lake. When the fog dissipates, the steep mountain peak will appear in front of you, and the lake under the mountain peak will slowly emerge in front of you. You can't help feeling that the cold stone peak stands in the tender flowers and warm sea water.

The beauty here is in the Witch Lake, which is hidden in the deeper mountains of Nianbao Yuze Scenic Area. The difficult road and changeable weather always make it shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.

However, Nian Baoyu stopped receiving foreign guests last year. As for when it will be reopened, it is not certain whether it will be reopened.

After Baoyuze Scenic Area was closed, Lotus Leaf became another choice for many people. Lianbaoye and Nianbaoyu are indeed the same area, but they belong to Sichuan and Qinghai respectively! Here, Shan Qi is picturesque and beautiful as a fairyland.
