Day 4-Dian Chi Lake

Dian Chi Lake & Minorities Museum: Today visit the West Hills and walk among the Buddhist grottos carved into limestone cliffs on the western edge of Dian Lake. The top of the grottos offer spectacular views of Dian Lake, surrounding city skyline, houseboats, and the fishing culture. Birds that can be seen fishing are cormorants, redstarts, drongos, and black kites. Other activities include a visit to the Minorities Museum.
