The sky in the South of Cloud (Yunnan) is blue and its rainfall is clean. Tons of rain water condensed into streams and flow into the east Yunnan Plateau, moistening Fuxian Lake, with waters as clear as jade. The lake was duded as “Tens of Thousands of Color Glaze” due to its ultra clean water. Fuxian Lake is the largest deep-water fresh water lake in China and the largest lake at the source of the pearl river. Its water volume is 12 times that of Dianchi, 6 times that of Erhai and 4.5 times that of Taihu Lake. It accounts for 72.8% of the total water volume of the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan and 9.16% of the fresh water volume of the whole country.

 

Fuxian Lake is 60 kilometers away from Kunming city, about an hour's drive. Come here on a sunny day to soak in the beauty of nature.
