Literally meaning “The End of Hills,” this spot offers breathtaking panoramic vistas of deep gorges and mist-covered valleys. It gained massive popularity for its “Pinterest-worthy” edges where you can watch clouds drift through the massive green canyons below.

Often the first sight to welcome travelers, this vast and serene man-made reservoir is surrounded by thick coniferous forests. It is a hub for peaceful boat rides and water sports, offering a calm escape with stunning sunset reflections.
 

Located in the heart of the city, this century-old horseshoe-shaped lake features a picturesque white wooden bridge and vibrant flower gardens. It is a local favorite for evening strolls and is especially magical during the pink Cherry Blossom season in November.
