Today we will first visit the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. Here you can appreciate the unique and beautiful design and experience the tranquility and profoundness of oriental culture, and seek inner peace. Then we will head to Lancaster in the south of Pennsylvania in order to visit the first tourist attraction of Lancaster - Amish Farm and House. You will learn about the history and lifestyle of Amish people and experience the rural scenery of Amish village. Finally, we will go to the The Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. There are hundreds of thousands of snow geese and tens of thousands of Canada geese in the management area every year. The swans wait for migratory birds to come here to inhabit here. Usually from the end of February to the middle of March is the migration season of snow geese. During this period, the scene of snow geese landing and taking off at Lake is very spectacular.
