Surrounded by mountains, the lake is clear and blue. Snowfall lasts for 8 months in winter, and the road surface is often covered with snow. But the bottom of the lake is extremely deep, reaching 1645 feet, and the lake will not freeze. Lake Taihu is a large lake formed by the movement and subsidence of faults between two mountains. There are many hills around the lake, so it is an excellent ski resort in winter. The nearby Squaw Village was once the site of the Winter Olympics. In summer, this is a summer resort. Lake Tahoe means great lake in Indian language, and it is the first choice for people in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California to spend their holidays. On weekends and holidays, campers can be seen dragging jet skis and even canoes along No.80 expressway to Lake Tahoe. Generally speaking, the color of Lake Tahoe is clear blue, but unlike emerald bay, it is dark green with too many algae. There are dozens of lakes around Lake Tahoe, and emerald bay is one of them, which is not connected with Lake Tahoe. For tens of thousands of years, the water between the two lakes has shuttled along the shore, making it a part of Lake Tahoe. Because of its beautiful scenery, it is a place where many tourists take pictures.
