The Frozen Cave of Cui Hua Shan |
Walking along the path I come across several places of interest, such as Windy Peak, Frozen Cave, and Bat Cave, all of which are pretty much as they are described and all providing a varying atmosphere on my way to the lake. While making my way through the Frozen Cave I had the exceptional luck of having the ice cold water drop from the rocks above right down the back of my shirt, causing me to squeal like a stunned pig which in turn caused no less then three small children to start crying out of fear. After that intense but brief shock that entertained the parents, I quickly moved on to the lake.
The trail ends next to the only hotel on the lake. The rooms here are 250 yuan for a single, but I’m only here for the day so I continue on my way. To the right I walk along the road and come to a swimming area. There they also have the giant clear plastic bubbles people can get into and then be laughed at as you attempt to walk on the water. It’s an interesting experience and one that will provide hours of hysterics for family and friends through the home video that will inevitably be shot.
Back towards the hotel there are power boats, jet skis, row boats and paddle boats all that cost about 30 yuan for different lengths of time. The best deal seems to be the paddle boat so I paddled out to the middle of the lake. I am about as far away from another person as I have been in a long time, and the breeze picks up without my noticing and blows my little boat to the far side of the lake. I have about 15 minutes to paddle a kilometer to return it back in time. So much for rest and relaxation.
There is also a zip-line you can try for 30 yuan. It’s a round trip ride and looks fun but after the paddle boat incident, which left my legs sore and my stomach empty, it was time for lunch.
