On the southern shores of Yangcheng Lake, warm spring breeze sweeps over the holiday resort on Yangcheng Lake Peninsula, adorned with a sea of flowers blooming profusely from the flowering crabapple, redbud, cherry, apricot, orchid in Lotus Lake Park, Xianying Lake Park, Yunshan Lake Park, and along the circular road- a must of spring outing.

Sightseeing vehicles, bike riding, and hiking are some of the choices to come into close contact with nature. A pavement for sport and leisurely stroll, the round-lake bike lane of over 30 kilometers in length commands an ideal vantage to view the lake scenery around.
