Third Lake (Bailong Lake)
三池（白龙湖）
The largest of the five volcanic dammed lakes; a boat trip offers views of volcanic cones such as Laoheishan and Huoshaoshan reflected in the water.
The Wudalianchi lakes formed when lava flows blocked the White River, creating five beaded lakes running from south to north, known as Pond No. 1 through Pond No. 5. Third Pond (Bailong Lake) is the largest, with the most expansive water surface. In summer and autumn, boats leave from the south pier to tour the lake, with views of volcanic cones such as Laoheishan and Huoshaoshan. On calm days, the reflections are clear. Sailing times and fares follow the scenic area's published information, and boats usually operate from June to September. The lake area has large temperature differences between day and night, so bring a jacket for early or evening trips.
