The lake is has a length of 2 kilometers in the north-south direction, and has a width of 1.5 kilometers in the east-west direction. It is deepest at 15 meters of depth. The lakeside is fringed by a 4 km circular road where joggers would take an hour to complete. There are interesting statues of a big koi carp, Buddha, as well as other animals on both sides of the road. Why not take a relaxing bike ride or a stroll around the Liyu Lake, and enjoy the beauty of nature in Hualien? There are also BBQ stands, a campsite, a parking lot, and several food stalls. Some stalls even rent out boats and rafts to the public. People gather along the lake every year during the Dragon Boat Festival day of the lunar calendar, namely May 5th, where the most intense dragon boat races are held. It is a wonderful festival that you do not want to miss it!
