Getting There

In Detail

Zhuxi Lake is located in Linqiong Town, Qionglai City. It is a natural scenic area dominated by bamboo forests and a lake. The lake is wide and open, surrounded by green mountains and bamboo groves. The water is clear and the environment is peaceful, making it an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and get close to nature. The scenic area has a boat dock where visitors can take a boat tour to enjoy the lake and mountain views, experiencing the tranquility of water and sky merging into one.

The area is rich in vegetation with large stretches of bamboo forest, fresh air, and high levels of negative oxygen ions. Besides boating, it is also a paradise for fishing enthusiasts, with multiple fishing spots around the lake where you can quietly fish and enjoy leisure time. The scenic area also has a lakeside walking trail suitable for strolling and cycling, offering different lake and mountain views along the way.

The overall atmosphere is peaceful and leisurely, with low commercialization. Visitors are mainly local residents and self-driving tourists from nearby cities. It is suitable for family trips, friend gatherings, or solo relaxation, offering a slow-paced natural lifestyle.

What to expect

Visitors can take a boat tour on the lake to enjoy the bamboo forests and green mountains on both sides. At designated fishing areas by the lake, you can enjoy the fun of fishing. Walk or cycle along the lakeside trail, breathe in fresh air, and feel the peace of nature. The scenic area has some simple dining and rest facilities, but it is not highly commercialized, so it is better to bring your own food and drinks for a picnic.
