Luming Lake
鹿鸣湖
A volcanic barrier lake in the core of the forest park, with small islands and dead trees reflected in the water; boardwalks allow close views.
Luming Lake (Deer Call Lake) lies between Dujuan Lake (Azalea Lake) and Shitang Forest in Arxan National Forest Park. It is a barrier lake formed by lava blockage. Legend says deer once came here to drink, which gave the lake its name. The lake has small islands and dead trees standing in the water, and wooden boardwalks line the shore. In autumn the surrounding trees turn yellow and the calm water gives clear reflections. In summer there are more wildflowers by the lake. A visit usually takes around half an hour, and it is often combined with Dujuan Lake, Shitang Forest and Guibei Rock in shuttle-bus order. Entry is included with the forest park ticket and shuttle (fares follow the scenic area's announcements).
