Jiulong Lake
九龙湖
A mountain lake northeast of the Guanzhai Mountain scenic area, where you can drift on bamboo rafts. Its quiet scenery is even more serene than Shimen Lake.
Jiulong Lake lies in the northeastern part of the Guanzhai Mountain scenic area. Its water comes from streams flowing through red-rock valleys, and the surrounding peaks reflect on its surface, creating a tranquil setting. Visitors can ride bamboo rafts across the lake, one of the signature activities of the scenic area. It is often combined with a visit to Zhu'an Stronghold (the Line C combined ticket costs about RMB 100, as published by the scenic area). The lake is cooler in summer. Take care during the rainy season. It is about 20 minutes by taxi from the county town.
