Lantan

　　Lantan is situated in the eastern suburbs of Chiayi and is easily accessible. With a vast lake surface and thousands of acres of shimmering blue waters, it is embraced by surrounding hills and boasts a delightful scenery, particularly captivating on moonlit nights. It is honored as the “Moonlit Lantan,” one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Chiayi.

　　A lakeside ring road has been built around Lantan. Taking a tour around the lake, you will first come across the Observation Tower. From the top of the tower, not only can you take in the entire view of Lantan, but also enjoy a clear panorama of the Chiayi area. Continuing past the Observation Tower and taking the left fork at the junction, the lush greenery of the Lantan Campsite will come into view. The campsite can accommodate over 30 four-person tents, making it a supremely comfortable place to pitch a tent. Walking around the entire Lantan takes about 90 minutes, with trees lining the path and refreshing shade and breezes adding to the pleasant experience.
