The water is clear and pollution-free. Surrounded by green hills, the plant coverage rate reaches over 95%. The air is fresh and clean with good transparency. There are small islands in the lake, and the lakeshore is a forest dominated by Yunnan pine. The terrain is gentle and divided into many small lakes. The environment is clean and beautiful. It is located at an altitude of 1907 meters surrounded by mountains. The surface shape of the lake is like a slender girl. It is the hometown of Ashima in folklore. Because the lake is hidden among the green mountains and green hills, it is rarely visited by tourists in the past, so it is also called the "Hidden Lake".
