About Yinghu Lake
Boat visits link places with different characters: Yuxing Island focuses on birds and vegetation, while Jinluo Island has Luofeng Pagoda and elevated views over the water. The lake is best treated as a boat-and-island outing, with the departure wharf deciding the sequence. Routes can change, so choose the island combination offered at the visitor centre rather than assuming every shoreline sight is connected by road.
What to look for
- Yuxing Island’s bird-focused landscape and the view towards Zhinv Rock.
- Jinluo Island and Luofeng Pagoda, overlooking the meeting landscape of the Han and Lan rivers.
