Picturesque sceneries are the distinctive feature of Solitary Hill. Of all, snow provides the most enchanting scene on the Solitary Hill. After snow, the bright, reflected sunlight seem soft and warm. If boating on the lake after snow, the hill with a 'silver' cover will be sure to remind you of a sparkling and limpid jade building.
