Longtan Lake
龙潭湖
A narrow lake right beside Simianshan Town, about 100 metres wide and nearly 3 km long, where boat trips reveal waterfalls, canyons and monkey troops in the hills.
Longtan Lake is nearly 3 km long and about 100 metres wide. Simianshan Town lies on its left and Huaping Mountain on its right. Rowing across the lake, you can see waterfalls plunging from cliffs and rare flowers and fruits along the shores, and macaques occasionally playing in the forest. Because it is closest to the town, it suits an evening after arrival or a stop before leaving. Boat fares are set by the scenic area, and trails along the lakeshore are good for a stroll.
