We started quite late in the morning, and we had late breakfast too at almost 10:30 in the morning. We planned to go to Jade Snow Mountain that day, but our friendly hotel reception, Merry, suggested us not to go there as it is too late already to avoid long queue (buying ticket, cable car...etc), so she offered us to go to another place which is Lashihai Lake if we want to have some activity at the lake, horseback riding and meal + pick up/returned transport by car included for RMB280/persons, so we decided to go there.
We drove by car for half hour from the old town with some other people in 11 seater car, the first impression after arrived there at the riding horse reception was not really excited, as it had just like a temporary resting place with horse ranch at the back, and the toilet was not impressive too.
Then, after we paid the fee, they asked us with 2 options, whether we would start with the horse riding or lunch first.
As we need to go to toilet and it's almost lunch time, so we choose lunch first, then we got in the car again, and they drove us to another place to have lunch.
We arrived just a few minutes later to new place, with more excitements begins to our new journey......the place really nice facing to the lake with many white tents and sofas to relax, clean restaurant and clean toilet too.
At the restaurant, they gather us at least 8 person on every table, served with hot pot with chicken soup, tofu and vegetable. Next to the hot pot soup there were baked potato too, it was not bad for the price we paid actually to get this experience with this environment.
We finished lunch, then we can relax at the lake's tents, with some free-flow refreshments such as simple tea drinks and fruits and we can do kayaking for free, as it is included as long as you want (seems they don't limit the time how long we can played this)
After we finished spent time almost 1 hour kayaking at the lake, they offered us to take a small boat with some other people around the lake. (again) This is for free as this is included to the package we paid.
It took us 20 minutes tour around the lake, which we had the same view during our kayaking too.
Note :
I saw around the lake area there are many different kind similar places and might be cheaper, but I think there will have different service and environment....and only the company we joined who has the "white tents" and looks more luxurious and clean.
Horseback Riding
They drove us back to the first place we arrived at the horse ranch, and we start our 2 hours journey with horse around the village and hike to the hill. It's seems a little bit dangerous when we crossed the hill up and down with very narrow path and steep cliff, but it was fun!!
We finished in the afternoon, and they take us back to our place at the old town by their car, and we no need to pay any more fee nor tips....just say xie xie to them after finished and they were very happy to serve us!
To be continue : Day 3...
