About Arxan National Forest Park

At Shitanglin, dark solidified lava breaks into an irregular stone landscape, with plants returning between the rocks. Nearby Dujuan Lake occupies a basin formed when lava obstructed the drainage; rhododendrons give it its name. Pairing these two sectors explains how volcanic activity shaped both the ground and the water, without trying to cover every crater lake in the extensive park.

What to look for

  • Shitanglin's exposed lava formations and vegetation growing between them.
  • Dujuan Lake's lava-dammed basin and seasonal rhododendron-lined shore.

Arrive at the Jinjianggou main reception and parking area from Arxan, then follow the park's current shuttle arrangements.

  • The municipal visitor guide requires transfers for the ticketed attractions; confirm the day's connection between Shitanglin and Dujuan Lake at reception.
General visit reminders
