Located at the southeast foot of Songpu Mountain in the northwest of Anbu Town, Mei Lin Lake is embraced by the three villages of Guolong, Panlong, and Fenglong. The lake spans over 300 acres with a depth of several fathoms. In the southeast of the lake, there is a protruding landmass known as Huxinli, covering approximately 80 acres. Surrounding the lake, the scenery is lush with green fields and fragrant rice and soybean crops throughout the year.
Nearby attractions include ancient marine erosion rocks, Zhongli Cave, Baiyun Rock, and Stone Forest. As early as 6000 years ago, the area around Mei Lin Lake was part of a bay. Due to the sedimentation of the Han River and the weathering of the soil from Songpu Mountain, this area had already formed into land 2000 years ago. The marine erosion on the southern slope of Niutou Mountain, northwest of Mei Lin Lake, has created a variety of ancient marine erosion rocks. The existing marine erosion rocks are scattered among the hills and fields, resembling shapes such as mushrooms, dolphins, sheep heads, carps, sea turtles, sails, and clams. These ancient marine erosion rocks by the lake are important historical materials for studying the changes in the coastal terrain of Chaozhou. Tip: Due to environmental pollution and human destruction, the most beautiful scenery at Mei Lin Lake is now in autumn. The lake is open all year round, accessible 24/7.
