Nine big mystery of Huguang Lake（湖光岩的七大谜）
【I don’t know whether all of these are true or not, of course, some of it are real╮(╯▽╰)╭】
 A、Leaves near the Lake without their trace.（湖面落叶无影无踪）；
B、The central water level of the lake is lower than the lakeside 30 cm.（湖中心水位比湖边低30公分）；
C、During June to August, when it’s about 1-2a.m., water more than ten meters high will rise from the middle of the lake.（6－8月份，夜间1－2点，湖中间冒出十多米的水柱）；
D、There is no frog, leeches or snakes in the 2.3 square kilometers lake, but it has plenty of fish and shrimp and huge turtles. （2.3平方公里的湖里没有一个青蛙、蚂蝗、蛇却有大量的鱼虾，甚至有巨大的神龟龙鱼出没）；
 E、When you are in the south of overhead of the moutain lake, you will feel shake of dark, on the contrary, sober and relaxed in the north.（进入湖南边山顶上一带有50%的人感觉到阴阴沉沉，而是在湖的北边就感觉到清醒和有一种轻松的感觉）；
F、Skin becomes white after swimming in the lake.（下湖游泳、泡水皮肤变白）；
G、The big turtle has saved many people who has near-drowning in the lake.（大龟在湖里救过了许多溺水的人。）
 I suggest, if you take a visit to Huguang Lake, I think it’s most fun to ride a bike around the lake, enjoying the sunshine, the feelings of the lake wind. What’s more, when you are tired, you can get off your bike and have a footbath in the lake or go to the nearby ground to have a picnic, or just go in to the surrounding historical building and take some photos.
