Crouching Dragon Lake (Sleeping Dragon Haizi)

In the middle of the lake, submerges a dimly visible yellowish "Lying Dragon" in some 20 metre deep water. When a gentle wind from the mountain whips up ripples on the Lake's clear surface, it looks as if the "Dragon" were stretching herself, and once the wind increases intensity, the "Dragon" begins to shake her head and wag her tail, as if poising for a take off. Sleeping Dragon Lake covers about 61,838 square meters, with an altitude of 2,215 meters and a depth of 22 meters. Sometimes, it looks as if it will jump out of the water, but suddenly it may disappear totally.
