This is one of the three existing volcanic lakes in our country
Here, with a long history, the lake and mountains reflect each other, creating a picturesque scenery with deep cultural connotations. It is also one of the three existing volcanic lakes in our country, and one of the two major maar lakes in the world. It has coastal geomorphological relics from more than 200,000 years ago and is a good place for leisure and sightseeing. It is Huguangyan, a must-visit spot in Zhanjiang.
Non-local tourists may be unfamiliar with this scenic area. In fact, Huguangyan Scenic Area is well-known locally. The full name of Huguangyan Scenic Area is Huguangyan World Geopark, a famous local volcanic crater scenic area with a long formation history and high scientific value. Especially the sediments at the bottom of the lake, which truly restore the development and changes of ancient climate and environment, are typical representatives of China's maar lakes, containing a lot of information about ancient environmental changes, and have high reference and research value. Huguangyan World Geopark is located in Huguang Town, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. Not only does it have a deep historical background, but the scenery is also beautiful. Here, the mirror-like lake reflects the moon, the sky and the water blend together, ancient trees tower into the sky, roots are twisted and intertwined, vegetation is lush, and the air is excellent. Being here makes people feel relaxed and peaceful.
In addition to this, there are cliffs and steep walls all around, with a majestic momentum, especially the stratification of volcanic rocks and the rhythm of eruption, which are still clear and complete. The folds, joints and faults formed by the stratification of volcanic rocks, in the long river of time, with the occurrence of tectonic movements, show the original horizontal stratification as either inclined, upright, or curved, which is pleasing to the eye. There is also a cliff stone carving with the words 'Huguangyan', which was inscribed by Li Gang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. It has been preserved to this day, and the font is still clear and distinguishable, with a sense of history and age. The must-see attractions mainly include Huguangyan Maar Lake and Leiqiong World Geopark Museum, etc. Here, let's first popularize the maar lake. The so-called maar lake can be intuitively understood as a rare volcanic lake, and it is extremely rare. As the name suggests, it is a lake formed by the sinking of land water after the cooling of a volcanic eruption. The lake water self-purifies and never dries up.
Main attractions overview: Huguangyan Maar Lake is about 20 meters deep, mainly sourced from the infiltration of groundwater and the replenishment of natural rainwater, composed of the east and west lakes, with the west lake being the largest. Here, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, the lake is clear, and the trail is leisurely, very suitable for calming down and self-cultivation here. Leiqiong World Geopark Museum is one of the important attractions of Huguangyan Scenic Area. The exhibition hall covers a large area, with pictures and texts complementing each other, rich in content, exquisite and unparalleled, vividly and vividly introducing the evolution process of Huguangyan geology, which is eye-opening.

Huguangyan is worth a visit. It is called sister lake in Germany. After the earthquake, it is left with such a large domestic oval. You can walk around the lake slowly. The whole family feels that they have a spring tour in advance during the domestic period! It is recommended to go!

Huguangyan Scenic Area is a national scenic spot, national geological park, national AAAA-level tourist attraction and national youth science education base. It is the first of the eight scenery in Zhanjiang, with beautiful scenery and worth a visit.
China's unique Lake Mar is very large in size, and the greening and fitness trails around the lake are well done. It would be better if bicycle services were provided. There are also some science museums and temples nearby to visit.
A big lake. If you want to play, you need to arrive early, we arrived late, so we walked around the temple. The scenery is beautiful and the lake is clear. I didn't find a place to rent a bicycle. Such a big lake may not be able to rely on its feet, I hope to push the taxi service. There are too few battery cars in the scenic area, and the queue is long enough!
The air in the lake is very good. If the physical strength can be supported, you can try to stroll and play. I am entering from the east gate. The west gate is more suitable in the morning. It is quiet to walk with the sun behind.
