It is a karst lava rocky scenic tourist area with tall mountains and a peaceful lake formed by artificially intercepting groundwater in 1958. The entire lake covers an area of 8,400 mu (560 hectares), including 14 natural islands on the lake and 16 natural caves.

The biggest highlight of the Dalong Lake Scenic Area is riding a boat on the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of water and mountains. It is an eco-tourism area focusing on natural landscapes, with several scenic spots on the lake such as Lotus Mountain, Penguin Mountain, and Peacock Mountain.

The scenic area is rich in vegetation, beautiful scenery, and superior natural conditions. Due to the difference in lithology, climate, and structural conditions, it is very unique in the karst landforms of mountains, the lake, caves, and stones, boasting high ornamental value.
