Cibi Lake Of Eryuan County
Cibi
Lake, named "Ninghu Lake" in the ancient times, is 2 km to the east of
Er'yuan county seat, covering 8 square km with the average depth of 11
metres.
On
the north shore of the lake is a pear orchard, and lying to its west is
Bagushan Mt at the foot of which are Chengbi Pavilion and Longwang
Temple (Dragon King Temple) where locals hold a grand temple fair on
lunar 23 July each year.
The
lake abounds in Cibi flower (a plant of the Nymphaeaceae family,
similar to water lily)-a miracle eulogised by Mr Yang Sheng'an
(1488-1559)-a famous traveller and geologist in the Ming Dynasty
(1368-1644). And the lake has been included into the Cangshan Mt and
Er'hai Lake Resort.
