Hanlongwan
旱龙湾
A dried-up volcanic crater whose floor has become marsh and meadow, offering a clear view of how maar lakes evolve.
Hanlongwan is the only crater among the Seven Bays of Longwan that never filled with water to form a lake. Peat bog and wetland meadows have formed on its floor, and forest surrounds it. In contrast to the water-filled Longwan lakes, it is a good place to learn about the evolution of volcanic lakes and wetland ecology. Facilities are basic, mainly trails and viewing platforms. Opening hours and fees follow the scenic area. It lies near Jinchuan Town and can be visited on the way to Sanjiao Longwan, taking about 1 hour.
