Lover's Lake Park Introduction
Lovers Lake Park is located on the hillside of Dawulun Mountain and is formed by the convergence of six mountain streams. It is the only highland lake in Keelung, with a picturesque and exquisite lake surface that boasts a certain charm. The surrounding area is densely forested, with emerald green waters, stunning mountain and water views, and a refreshing atmosphere. In the spring and summer, the area is filled with the sounds of insects and birds, and colorful butterflies dance around, making it a perfect natural retreat for the public. Originally named "Wucha Monument," the lake was later renamed Lovers Lake because the Keelung Youth Corps often held activities here. The park features facilities such as a lakeside trail, a mountain trail, Lovers Suspension Bridge, pavilions, and viewing platforms, with lush trees lining the trails and various plants showcasing seasonal beauty. Walking through the park, visitors can enjoy a forest bath amidst the fresh phytoncides while appreciating the beautiful lake and mountain scenery, which is quite poetic. The mountain trail of Lovers Lake Park leads up to Eagle Rock, which overlooks the sea. From the ridge trail, visitors can see the nearby Dawulun Fish Port and get a distant view of Keelung Island and Yehliu Cape, providing a refreshing and uplifting experience. Another explanation for the name Lovers Lake is that there are two interconnected lakes in the park, one large and one small, resembling lovers embracing each other for companionship, thus earning the name.
