The eastern one is called East Minor Tianchi Lake, which was called Heilongtan in ancient time. Located at 500m east of Tianchi Lake, it’s said that it was the showering place for Queen Mother of the West. Under the lake, there is a high cliff, and the waterfall falls like a long rainbow from the sky, very magnificent. In the western one is called West Minor Tianchi Lake, also called Yunvtan. Located 2km west of Tianchi Lake, different from the eastern one, the West Minor Tianchi Lake is said the footbath place for Queen Mother of the West. West Minor Tianchi Lake is just like a full moon, the deep and clear water is surrounded by tall and standing firs and pines. There is a waterfall (tens of meters high) hanging next to the periphery of the lake, tourists can ascend to the pavilion besides the lake to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the waterfall and the lake.
Besides the lakes and mountains, there are also cultural relics in the scenic area. Iron Tile Temple is located at 700m west of the Tianchi Lake. Sitting in a 4000m2 platform, facing the Tianchi Lake, the serene temple is surrounded by green pines in three directions, leaving its front space vacant. Built in Southern Song Dynasty (1127 ~1279), the temple is a Taoist temple, and it has a great view for the lake and the mountain around.
After that we will transfer you back to hotel.
