Erlongwan

二龙湾

A round maar lake hidden in primeval forest and rarely visited, with jade-green water as clear as a mirror, ideal for hiking.

Erlongwan is one of the maar lakes in the Longwan volcanic group. Its nearly circular shape is surrounded by steep crater walls and dense trees, and its still surface reflects like a mirror. It is one of the lakes scientists study to learn about ancient climates. It is less developed than Sanjiao Longwan and Dalongwan, with forest trails and viewpoints as its main features, suiting visitors who prefer quiet. Opening hours and fees follow the scenic area. The lake lies southwest of Jinchuan Town, requires a self-drive, and a visit takes about 1 hour.
