The Great Golden Lake is located in Taining County, which is rich in woods and lies at northwest of Fujian Province. It gains the name because the site of the scenic spot abounds with gold. Perhaps, just because these mountains and rivers here contain gold, the good fortune is especially favored to her – assembling numerous nation-level tourist resources such as key national scenic spots here, tourist zone of national 4A grade, national geo-park, national forest park and major cultural units and relics under state protection, etc. The vast and deep and serene lake is perfectly combined with the wonder of the red rosy clouds in different poses, and the long standing and well established humane accumulation and colorful local conditions and customs enhance each other's beauty. So it is praised as “the peerless lake and mountain ". Just as the monk and also a poet, ShiZuiRuo of Qing Dynasty said: "All the spectacular rocks were born from the heaven, just like supernatural spirits accompany the human; there are beautiful mountains and rivers in other places, but when comparing them to the ones here, they are just nothing.”
In the 166 km2 field of the poetic and picturesque green water and red hills, every red rosy cloud is permeated with luck and vividness, and every clear water inverts the image of the trace of the mountain and river spirit. Whether you wander around the large Buddhist temple and experience the kind protection and help of “Gautma Buddha”, “Water Guanyin (Chinese Goddess of Mercy)” and “Happy Future Buddha” etc., drift up to the clear fairyland to taste all kinds of wonderful lives, tour around the Champion Rock known as “Holy Land of red rosy clouds” and Arhat Hill like the Land of Peach Blossoms, or visit the old Sangyang Town with rich and generous historical and cultural accumulation, you will not merely enjoy the harmony between man and nature, but you can sense the relaxing of the mood and comfort of the spirit.
