Longtan Lake, nestled at the southern foot of Yu Yao Mountain in Sijie and Longtan, is approximately 5.5 kilometers away from Yilan City. This picturesque lake is encircled by mountains on three sides, offering a serene setting with lush greenery lining the lakeside path. The weeping willows that grace the area cast their reflections onto the water’s surface, further enhancing the captivating beauty of the surroundings.
For those seeking a more interactive experience, the grassy slopes in the eastern valley provide an ideal spot for camping. The area is also home to two notable temples: Longtan Temple and Fuyuan Huiguo Zen Temple, which add a cultural and spiritual dimension to the landscape.
Visitors can enjoy the lake’s charm at any time, as it is open all day, every day of the year.
