Early mornings and evenings, a thin layer of mist hovers over Ci Lin Lake, creating an ethereal atmosphere that captivates visitors with its charm
Ascending the nearby Qilin Mountain offers a panoramic view of the lake’s scenery, which, despite its modest size, rivals the beauty of renowned tourist spots
Known as the secret garden of Nantou’s Lugu, Ci Lin Lake is often overlooked by tourists, providing a tranquil and peaceful experience away from the hustle and bustle of popular attractions
Established nearly 160 years ago and colloquially known as ‘Da Shui Ku’, Ci Lin Lake is nestled between the oolong tea-producing Dongding Mountain and Qilin Mountain
The lake’s waters are a vibrant green, mirror-like in their clarity, with tea plants lining the shores, offering a refreshing and serene rural ambiance
A flat, circular walkway along the lake’s edge allows for a pleasant stroll or bike ride
The lake is open all year round, accessible 24 hours a day
