Dalongwan
大龙湾
The largest crater lake in the Longwan group, lying south of Jinchuan Town, with a broad, calm surface. Visitors can take a boat or walk a trail around the shore.
Dalongwan formed in the Middle to Late Pleistocene and is the largest crater lake in Longwan National Forest Park. Its water is clear, and the surrounding volcanic cones are covered with primeval forest, making it especially serene in the morning mist. From nearby Jinlong Dingzi peak you can take in a panoramic view of Dalongwan. Tour boats operate on the lake, and boardwalks run along the shore. Entry costs about 20 yuan, with boat rides extra (check with the scenic area). Opening hours are roughly 7:30 to 17:30. The lake lies about 1 kilometer south of Jinchuan Village in Jinchuan Town, is easy to reach, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours.
