On the north side of the main peak of Nianbao Yuze, there is a famous glacial lake, which the locals call Ximucuo Lake, also called Nianbao Fairy Lake. The water in Fairy Lake is so clear that visitors can even see the free fish in the lake. And if you look up, visitors can see the snow-capped mountains not far away. If you go in summer, the wild flowers around Fairy Lake will bloom, adding a romantic atmosphere.

In the south of Fairy Lake, there is another lake called Fairy Lake. Compared with the beauty of Fairy Lake, the impression of Fairy Lake is more mysterious. Because the color of the lake here is unpredictable and amazing.

There is a long way from Fairy Lake to Demon Lake, but it is still muddy when it rains a lot in summer, so visitors should remember to wear professional hiking shoes with good anti-skid performance.
