Cifu Lake & Longevity Island
赐福湖·长寿岛
A 'lake of a hundred islands' formed by damming the Panyang River. Longevity Island, in the centre of the lake, is a 4A scenic area where you can take boat tours among karst reflections, with evening live shows.
Cifu Lake lies in Cifu Village, Bama Town, about 6–8 km from the county seat. It is a long, narrow lake formed after a hydropower station was built on the lower Panyang River. The winding waters stretch for tens of kilometres, reflecting karst peak clusters and islands large and small, which earns it the name 'Lake of a Hundred Islands'. Longevity Island, in the lake's centre, is a national 4A scenic area with a Longevity Culture Park, Yao folk performances and viewing platforms. It has also staged live shows such as 'Dream of Bama' (check the current schedule). Visitors can take boat tours, go fishing or cycle the lakeside road, and the area has resort hotels and guesthouses. Opening hours are about 09:00–18:00, and entrance and boat tickets follow the scenic area's announcements. Coordinates are estimated.
