Yu Geng Yue Yun, nestled at the foot of the 5A national scenic area, Xiqiao Mountain, has preserved the natural ecological landscape of ‘thousands of acres of fish ponds and tens of thousands of acres of fields’. Recognized by UNESCO as a conservation unit, it is acclaimed as a rare beauty and a model of virtuous cycle, known as the Mulberry Fish Pond. Covering an area of about 125 acres, the fish pond primarily cultivates the four major domestic fishes and plants approximately 10,000 mulberry trees. From March to April, when the grass is green and the mulberry fruits are red, visitors can pick mulberries or mulberry buds. Tourists can also enjoy watching and feeding fish from the fish viewing platform.
Sai Xiangyun, a luxurious silk fabric, is made by dyeing mulberry silk with the juice of the sweet potato vine, then coating it with mineral-rich river mud, and sun-drying. It is one of the second batch of China’s intangible cultural heritages. Workers take advantage of fine weather to produce and dry Sai Xiangyun.

Peacocks in Splendor, a sight to behold, is an ecological peacock viewing area on the central island of the lake. Here, you can learn about the growth process of peacocks and enjoy the spectacular scenes of peacocks displaying their screens, flying in groups, and foraging.

Dynamic Entertainment, Fishing Boats, and Fruit Picking – Visitors can take a tour around the central island by riding a unique rural straw boat, covering approximately 2 kilometers of waterways. There are various experiential entertainments such as lake boats, bumper boats, Swan Lake, and water-based expansion activities. You can enjoy the pleasure of boating, the evening song of fishing boats, and the endless joy of passing through rivers and mulberry fields, enjoying the scenery and picking fruits.

Lawn Recreation Area – In the center of the park, there is a large lawn available for expansion, games, and interactive activities, hosting events such as kite festivals and camping festivals.
