Longtan Lake in northeastern Taiwan’s Yilan County is not only famous for its picturesque natural beauty, but also renowned for its Distoechodon Tumirostris Eco Park (龍潭湖鯝魚生態園區). This unique Eco Park is the best place to view Distoechodon Tumirostris returning to spawn upstream.

They would struggle to swim upstream to spawn in a brook that flows into Longtan Lake around Xiaoman (Grain Buds 小滿), the 8th solar term of a year. It is an amazing ecological phenomenon, and is believed to be the only one of its kind in the world. In fact, Longtan Lake was one of “Lanyang Twelve Scenic Wonders” due to its fascinating scenery, and is now one of most famous attraction in Yilan County.

龍潭湖係宜蘭第一大湖，昔為蘭陽十二勝之一。其三面環山，湖水清澈如鏡，青山倒影，景緻如詩如畫，彷如仙樈。漫步在青翠的草地或蜿蜒優美的步道，讓人頓時沈浸在湖光旖旎的情境中。迎著徐徐清風，悠遊於靜謐的湖畔，或於視野開闊的棧道，好不療癒。「龍潭湖」真是值得三兩好友結伴、或親子共遊的好地方!
