The city includes many rainforests and the largest lake in Guangdong: Xinfengjiang Reservoir. The literal meaning of the city's name is "origin of the river".

We hired a taxi from Heyuan to take us the 6km to the lake. We arrived for one of the first boats at 10am. The taxi returned at 12.30. You can buy a day ticket without time restriction, to be dropped off by boat at locations around the lake edge, or you can buy a cheaper ticket and have an allotted time at each location.
As we visited mid week, we had the boat to ourselves and so the driver fitted in with our times. Although there were no crowds, we missed some of the activities that were only on weekends. Each location had something different to offer. See the photos
The lake is amazing as it supplies fresh water for 40 million people.

景区其实没什么玩，放假没事，悠悠闲闲的景区走走散散步还是可以的。因为带着小孩，不可能走太多，所以也没有选择坐船区各个岛走，就走走这个湿地公园。万绿湖的空气非常好，而且天气特别好，所以慢慢走还是很舒服。不要抱着去看什么表演或者赶场去看，就单纯的散散步很不错。门票也不贵，40块，其实可以在大众点评买，可以便宜五块，但要提前一小时买。景区需要吐槽的是垃圾桶特别少，我们拿这垃圾有好远才找到一个来扔，太不方便了，有些游客可能也是没找到垃圾桶就随便扔地上了，希望景区改善一下。

I enjoyed the Heyuan Fountain display with music and commentary very much. It was just the highlight when the finale came and a jet of water shot many meters up into the air but also how the different jets of water matched the music. It was worth having dinner early and rushing to the river side!

現地ネットで割引券が購入できます。 高速道路出口から近くで判り易いです。
日本の公園にある様な遊具が結構充実しています。
アスレチックみたいな乗り物が色々あります。 一部大型の物に関しては入場料とは別の様ですが。
果実園が有るのですが、規模が小さすぎて観光客には対応できないと思います。
公園内部から桂山頂上へ登るのは非常に大変です。 たかが海抜1000mと
思って登ると大変ですよ。 普段山に登っている私にも大変でした。
そうそう、ここの入場チケットのデザインがダサい。

We hired a taxi to take us to the the road to the dam wall. The walk was easy as it is on a sloping road to the dam wall (30mins at a brisk pace). We then walked down the steps beside the dam wall to the hydro power station. The the flat road beside the river takes you to the starting point.
Near the lovely fish restaurants
We allowed an hour for the walk but better to be more leisurely.

一路上除爬山與路邊景色之外，沿路還有獨木橋，吊橋，鞦韆等過關遊戲，適合小朋友玩樂。整體路途不算久，來回兩個多小時就可以完成。

We visited this village midweek and found everything locked up. There was no information in English and our driver had never been there before. Interesting wandering but very little happening as far as we could see.
