The scenic area gate is located on the east side of the lake area. There is a scenic area parking lot at the gate, which is very convenient. After entering the gate, you will first come to the wetland museum in the scenic area. This museum is themed on promoting wetlands. There are wetland ecological displays simulated by sand tables, specimen displays of rare animals such as hooded cranes and golden eagles. There are also dome theaters and Yeyahu handicraft stores. You can take a stroll and have a simple visit. After passing the wetland museum, walking a few hundred meters forward will bring you to the lakeside, which is also the main sightseeing area of the scenic area. Here, the reeds are swaying and the lake water is rippling slightly. The scenery is extremely beautiful. Every summer, there are some lotus flowers blooming in the lake. The scenery is boundless and makes people feel relaxed and happy. Yeyahu is famous for having many wild ducks in the lake. The ducks here are not afraid of people. Whenever tourists approach the lakeside, wild ducks will come to the lakeside in groups to beg for food from tourists, which is very interesting. In addition to wild ducks, swans and other birds can often be seen in the lake, which is suitable for bringing children to watch and feed animals. Cycling/Boating: Yeyahu is very large. It is about 5 kilometers to make a round trip. Walking is relatively tiring. When playing, you can rent bicycles in the scenic area and slowly ride along the bicycle lane on the periphery of the lake. In addition to Yeyahu, when riding a bicycle, you can also see the beautiful Kangxi Prairie beside it. In addition, you can take a boat ride on the lake. However, boats will only operate when the weather is relatively suitable. They will be suspended in early spring, late autumn and other seasons or on rainy days. There are several types of boats, including hand-paddled boats, sculling boats, and battery-powered boats. Taking a boat to watch animals and pass through the reed marshes also has a unique flavor. If you don’t ride a bike or take a boat, you can also walk on the wooden plank road in the middle of the lake area.
