The scenic area contains over 10 attractions.. A very lively  pavilion called Guan Jing Tang or the Hall of Observing the Scenery sits on the top of a small hill to the northwest of the lake. The pavilion is encircled by water on three sides and to its east is the lake dam. The famous "Camel Peak in sunset"  can be viewed on the main peak of the Heng Mountain. In the mountain there are several well-known caves: the Pigeon Cave is home to hundreds of pigeons, the Dongge Cave where two Taoist Priests cultivated themselves many decades ago and the Tong Tian Cave or the Cave Leading to the Heaven where Erlangsheng, an immortal warrior in the Taoist legend was believed to leave his gigantic footmark.
