Its main scenic feature is "Willows and Lotus by the Lake," where the lake has two causeways, one in the south (130 meters long) and one in the north (210 meters long), both lined with lotus flowers and reeds. A small island lies in the center of the lake. On the northern shore, there is a hexagonal pavilion built on an earthen hill.

　　Longtan West Lake was originally part of Longtan Lake Park and was established in 1986. In 1991, the Longtan West Lake Park Management Office was officially formed. It is now a publicly funded, non-fully subsidized institution under the jurisdiction of the Chongwen District Gardening Bureau. The Management Office is primarily responsible for the operational management of the park and also undertakes external landscaping projects and maintenance services.
