Mianyang Xianhai Lake Walking and Sunbathing

I haven't been to Xianhai Lake for about two years, and I've never been there in winter. In my subconscious, Xianhai Lake is a place with mountains and water, which is particularly cool and suitable for summer. The weather was nice yesterday. Although the highest temperature was still in the single digits, the warm sun made me want to go outdoors. I had to go to the hospital to visit my mother in the morning and bring her a wheelchair. After visiting my mother, my family had lunch at a small restaurant and sent my father home. Then the three of us drove to Xianhai Lake, which is 20 or 30 kilometers away from the city. According to Baidu, Mianyang Xianhai Lake Scenic Area is "a core area centered on Xianhai Lake, consisting of 6.8 square kilometers of low hills and 7 square kilometers of water, with a forest coverage rate of 90% and a lake depth of 3.8 kilometers, forming 46 exquisite peninsulas, with interspersed peninsulas, winding lake shores, and a shoreline of more than 40 kilometers." People who have lived in the city for a long time cherish the opportunity to get in touch with nature. We got out of the car and didn't walk along the waterfront plank road, but walked along the bicycle path, basking in the sun and breathing fresh air. Although it was just after 1:00 pm, the temperature displayed on the phone was only 10 degrees. There were not many people in the scenic area. Those who came out to play in the morning may have finished playing and went to eat or relax, while those who came out to play in the afternoon may not have arrived yet. We walked and played for about 40 minutes before we felt a little warm, but as soon as we reached a shady place, we felt cold again. It was rare to see such beautiful scenery, so I kept taking pictures. I saw a bird! Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture of it. After playing for an hour or two, we went home. The rows of villas outside the car window were getting farther and farther away, looking like a beautiful scenery. But I often wonder, if you live in a villa far away from the city, how can you go to other places if you can't drive? If you live in a beautiful place, but there are no people around, no relatives, friends, or neighbors, just a spacious house and beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be lonely?
