Why go
The lake surrounds Lalu Island, a place of importance to the Thao people, and its shores hold temples and walking routes. Wenwu Temple adds a built viewpoint to the water and mountain setting. The different shores reward a paced circuit or selected stops rather than a hurried arrival-and-departure visit.
What to look for
- Lalu Island at the lake’s center
- Wenwu Temple above the water
- Lakeside and hillside walking trails
Useful to know
- Choose a few shore stops or trails rather than trying to cover every temple in one visit.
- Respect Lalu Island’s significance to the Thao community; treat it as cultural ground, not just a photo landmark.
- Check current rules before planning to swim; ordinary swimming has generally been restricted.
