I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals#Yuanyang Lake-Heping District, Taichung City

#AugustDestinations2025
Yuanyang Lake in Fushoushan is not only one of Taiwan's renowned alpine lakes, but also a prime location for photography, hiking, and seasonal scenery. Located within Fushoushan Farm in Heping District, Taichung City, Yuanyang Lake is a high-altitude lake situated at an altitude of approximately 2,600 meters. Surrounded by mountains, it winds along the slopes, creating a picturesque scene shrouded in mist year-round. The lake's name evokes the image of "mandarin ducks flying in pairs." The shimmering sunlight and the reflections of alpine fir, spruce, and arrow bamboo create a fairyland. The trail around the lake offers a variety of flowers and alpine trees. In autumn, the surrounding maples and bald cypresses transform into vibrant colors of red, yellow, and orange, adorning the lake's surface. The calm waters, like a mirror, reflect the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding tree shadows, creating a vibrant scene reminiscent of an oil painting. Due to its high altitude, the lake is often shrouded in mist. On clear days, you can enjoy the magnificent contrast between the mountains and the lake. When the fog rises, the scenery becomes a fairyland that will make you linger. The lakeside scenery changes with the seasons. In spring and summer, the lakeshore is lush and green with wildflowers in full bloom. In autumn, the maple leaves turn red and the colorful forests intersperse. In winter, the lake is occasionally covered in snow, creating a fairytale-like world. Next time you visit Fushou Mountain, don't forget to make time to visit Yuanyang Lake, which is full of romantic legends.
