Huinan County
Known for the Longwan volcanic crater lakes, with forest-ringed alpine lakes and the Diaoshuihu Waterfall, each beautiful in a different way through the seasons.
Huinan County lies in northern Tonghua, Jilin Province, in the Changbai Mountain foothills and the Longgang volcanic field. Longwan Group National Forest Park is home to several maar lakes formed by water filling volcanic craters, including Dalongwan and Sanjiaolongwan. The water is clear, the lakes are ringed by primeval forest, and there are other sights such as the Diaoshuihu Waterfall. The best times to visit are summer, when the shade is cool and green, and autumn, when the forest turns brilliant colors. In winter you can enjoy snow and ice scenery alongside waters that never freeze. Take a train or high-speed train to Tonghua or Meihekou, then continue by bus or self-drive.
