See a lake as many scenes
Moving landscape views
Take a small boat from Majiawan into the western waterways around Wuguitan and Yuhuwan. Low bridges, branches and reflections bring the landscape close; this is a good outing to give time to, instead of squeezing a boat into a quick lap of the lake.

Queueing and route length vary. If boats stop for wind or rain, keep the afternoon for the nearby lakeside paths.

Wetland scenery and a slower outing
The narrow western waterways use one-way circulation and capacity controls; queues can extend the outing.
