The lake water is very clear. There are willows along the bank of the lake. Birds, flowers, arched bridges and pavilions can be seen in the park. If one stands on the Bridge of South Lake and gazes at the north, one will see a colorful picture,which looks like flowing flowers blooming on the surface of the water.

When it is warm, one can go fishing, boating and swimming; when it is cold, one can go skiing, skating and watch sculptures made of ice. Every late summer and early autumn, exhibitions of lanterns and exhibitions displaying characteristics of different nationalities are held here. When water is frozen to ice, various kinds of activities related with ice and snow are held on the lake, especially sleighs pulled by dogs and cameras attract many tourists.
