A low-angled sun slices across a broad freshwater lake as you push off on a small boat, limestone humps—seven small karst hills—cutting the horizon like a slow-moving skyline. Water nudges the hull; birds wheel and call from reed islands while shaded paths curl up through bamboo and weathered steps.
