Longchi Lake

Longchi Lake is located in the new urban area of Luhe, covering a water surface of about 500 acres. The lake water is extremely clear, and old records describe it as “profound and unfathomable, with legends saying a divine dragon resides here.” “Fishing Nets at Longchi” is one of the famous “Six Peaks and Eight Scenic Spots.” In ancient times, there were two islands by the lake, and two pools to the east of the lake were called the Dragon Eyes. During the Qing Dynasty, a three-bay “Qingfeng Pavilion” was built here, where literati and poets often composed verses. The lake abounds in crucian carp, and “Stewed Crucian Carp with Lotus Petals” is a unique and distinctive dish served to guests in Luhe. The lakeside is lined with weeping willows and caressed by gentle breezes, making it a rare leisure destination.　

“Fishing Nets at Longchi” is one of the famous “Six Peaks and Eight Scenic Spots.” In ancient times, there were two islands by the lake, “curved like an arm raised in a fist,” and two small pools to the east of the lake were called the Dragon Eyes. A Dragon King Temple was built on the eastern shore of the lake, serving as a site for county officials of successive dynasties to offer prayers for rain.

During the Qing Dynasty, a three-bay “Qingfeng Pavilion” was built here, “surrounded by winding corridors,” where literati and poets often composed verses. The lake abounds in crucian carp, and “Stewed Crucian Carp with Lotus Petals” is a unique and distinctive dish served to guests in Luhe. Towering fir trees, square fish ponds, crystal-clear water, scattered fishing boats, and willow-lined shores make it an ideal tourist destination.
