Lonely Planet review for Heaven Lake

This two-million-year-old crater lake, 13km in circumference, sits at an altitude of 2194m and is surrounded by rock outcrops and 16 mountainous peaks. The highest, White Rock Peak (Báiyán Fēng), soars to 2749m and can be climbed if you have permits and are with a Chinese tour group. Legend has it that the lake is home to a large, but shy, beastie that has the magical power to blur any photo taken of him.

You can no longer hike to the lakeside area but may only enjoy the panoramic views from the crater lip.

    Absolutely stunning and worth the ride/trek up to see it. Take a 4WD or trek up and once you get here, take 30 minutes to take the sight of the lake in. It's truly magical.
