Nourish your heart, come to the serene Lake Guangyan in Zhanjiang

It's 39 kilometers from Leizhou City to Zhanjiang Lake Guangyan Scenic Area, and the online taxi fare is 88 yuan. We take the route from west to east, the reason is that the highlights and attractions are near the west gate. The east gate is the main entrance, where you can store your luggage for free, but there is no storage place at the west gate. This is our last stop in Leizhou Peninsula, so we have to drag our suitcases around. Do you know the origin of the three characters of Lake Guangyan? I found the answer in the park. It turns out that Li Gang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was demoted to Hainan and passed by here. He was moved by the lake and mountains and happily wrote the three characters of Lake Guangyan. I think Lake Guangyan is very peculiar. The peculiarity lies in the low flat volcanic crater that was formed 140,000 to 160,000 years ago due to a volcanic eruption; the uniqueness lies in it being the largest and most typical 'Maar Lake' in the world. Stepping into the Geological Museum, you can appreciate the magic of nature during a volcanic eruption; under the thousand-year-old wall, you can listen to the long history; entering the 'Lengyan Temple' you can admire the handwriting of Li Gang's Lake Guangyan; coming to the natural oxygen bar with 105688 negative ions per cubic, you can breathe in some oxygen and take deep breaths; the Poetry and Calligraphy Corridor allows you to feel the appreciation of literati for the beauty of the lake and mountains. Then, either walk along the lakeside path or sit by the water and daze, feeling the ripples and tranquility of the lake can relieve inner pressure and nourish the heart. Slowly, one by one, we visited the attractions, from the west gate to the east gate 3.5 kilometers, played for three and a half hours, and still a bit reluctant to leave the beautiful and serene Lake Guangyan. 👍Most recommended: Named World Geological Park by UNESCO, National 4A-level Tourist Scenic Area. 🕙Business hours: 7.30 to 18 o'clock. Ticket: 50 yuan. Half price for students and people aged 60 to 64, free for those over 65.
