The White Water Terraces or Baishuitai in winter are a marvel to behold, with the crystalline water shimmering under the blue sky, creating a kaleidoscope of colors that captivate visitors from all directions.

Ms. Zhang from Beijing, along with her classmates, couldn't help exclaiming in awe at their first glimpse of the Baishuitai from a distant viewing platform: "It's so incredibly beautiful here. It almost doesn't seem real!"

In recent years, with the development of tourism, Baishuitai has become increasingly well-known. Some visitors have dubbed it the "Oriental Pamukkale." Local villagers, leveraging the tourist appeal of Baishuitai, have developed bed-and-breakfast lodges, catering, and horseback riding industries, creating job opportunities and boosting income without leaving their hometowns.
