The history of Yanqi Lake can be traced back to ancient times

According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, Yanqi Lake became a royal hunting ground because of its wide lakeshore and pleasant scenery. Later, Yanqi Lake gradually developed into a scenic spot and received a lot of praise and description from literati. Bai Juyi, a literati in the Qing Dynasty, once described Yanqi Lake in his famous sentence as 'the wind turns the white waves into thousands of flowers, and the geese dot the blue sky into a line', which shows that the scenery of Yanqi Lake at that time was very charming. We took a direct boat, 6 people per boat, 200 yuan per hour, electric boat, just control the direction with the steering wheel, but the range that can be driven is not large, if there is a strong wind, it is not recommended to take a boat, it will be more shaky. If you like cycling, the cycling path next to Yanqi Lake is a good choice, you can ride along the lakeshore. If you want to take a walk, the fitness trail on the lakeshore is very good, you can walk and enjoy the lake view and the surrounding natural scenery. If you like thrilling amusement facilities, Yanqi Lake also has rafting, water flying, yachts, bumper cars, carousels, motorcycle riders, bumblebees and other amusement facilities that will let you experience more thrills and fun.
