Along the route, they'll encounter Xiangshan Lake, where crystal-clear waters reflect the surrounding mountains like a mirror, creating an enchanting scene that feels almost surreal. The course weaves through winding paths and alongside picturesque lakes, providing ample opportunities for runners to capture stunning photographs.
