Longwang Lake at Erlong Mountain is located in Jianshe Village, Erlongshan Township, about 40 kilometers from Yinde Town. Like a mirror inlaid in this fertile land, it reflects the colorful sunlight and showcases the simple and uplifting spirit of the people of Erlong Mountain.

It abounds with over ten types of fish including carp, crucian carp, grass carp, and silver carp — all tender and delicious, making them one of the local specialties. The lake area is also home to more than 50 species of rare birds and wild animals such as red-crowned cranes, grey cranes, wild geese, herons, pheasants, wild ducks, as well as hares, foxes, and wolves. In July and August, lotus flowers bloom in full splendor, creating an enchanting view that captivates and lingers in the heart. Vast reed marshes spread out like golden seas, rippling and undulating in the wind, presenting a spectacular sight. In the middle of the lake stands a unique structure — the lakeside restaurant. With its distinctive design, it combines dining, rest, and scenic enjoyment in one, offering a delightful experience for gatherings with family and friends. Sipping drinks here while enjoying the breeze creates a uniquely pleasant mood, refreshing the mind and spirit.

The beautiful Longwang Lake reveals the purity and brilliance of nature with its magical and picturesque charm, drawing attention at every glance. At sunrise, the morning glow tints the lake surface like an incomparable coral painting; at dusk, the setting sun casts slanting rays on fishing boats, creating a “fishermen’s song at eventide” scene that feels dreamlike and poetic; on moonlit nights, the moon on the lake and the moon in the sky complement each other, forming a charming tableau, so harmonious that even the night breeze seems reluctant to disturb the beauty.

The beautiful Longwang Lake is like a paradise on earth, captivating the heart, and even more like a natural magnet, attracting visitors from all over the world.
