About Longwan Crater Lakes National Forest Park
Longwan National Forest Park in Huinan County combines a cluster of volcanic crater lakes with wooded ridges and waterfalls. It lies in the Longgang mountain landscape within the wider Changbai region. The separate lakes and upland areas create several possible outings, rather than a single shoreline walk covering the entire park.
Named lake areas include Dalongwan and Sanjiaolongwan, while Diaoshuihu Waterfall provides a contrasting stream-valley setting. Higher ground such as Sifangding offers another perspective on the volcanic terrain. The provincial forestry description emphasises the combination of enclosed water, forest and elevated landforms.
Choose one lake and a compatible second section instead of assuming that every named attraction is connected by a short path. At a lake, look at the shape of the enclosing slopes; on a ridge, read the wider pattern of hills. The forest’s seasonal colours can change the appearance strongly, while the underlying volcanic landscape remains the central subject.
What to look for
- Read the enclosing slopes around a crater lake.
- Compare a lakeside route with the Diaoshuihu valley.
- Use permitted higher viewpoints to understand the volcanic terrain.
