Jianfengling Tianchi
尖峰岭天池
A high mountain lake at about 800 m, surrounded by tropical rainforest. Morning mist, reflections, and starry skies make it the most iconic scene at Jianfengling.
Tianchi is the core scenic spot of Jianfengling National Forest Park. It sits in a mountain basin at about 800 m, with a water surface of about 40 hectares, and is surrounded by tropical mountain rainforest. Clouds drift over it at dawn, the lake mirrors the scene in the evening, and clear nights with little light pollution make it a great spot for stargazing. The lakeside has a loop trail and accommodation, and it serves as a base for visiting Mingfeng Valley, Rainforest Valley, and the main peak. Admission is about 50–55 yuan (subject to the official announcement), and the area is open roughly 07:30–17:30. There are no sightseeing buses inside the park, so you need to drive up the winding mountain road yourself.
