Lover Lake Park Introduction
Lover's Lake Park is located on the hillside of Dawulun Mountain, formed by the confluence of six streams. It is the only highland lake in Keelung, with exquisite and beautiful scenery reminiscent of a delicate beauty. The surrounding area is densely forested, with emerald green waters, picturesque mountains and lakes, creating a refreshing and pleasant environment. During spring and summer, the area is filled with the sounds of insects and birds, and colorful butterflies fluttering about, making it a worthwhile natural retreat for the public. Lover's Lake was originally named "Wuchabei," but later was renamed Lover's Lake due to frequent activities held by the Keelung Youth Association. The park features facilities such as lakeside walking trails, mountain trails, Lover's Bridge, pavilions, and observation decks. The walking paths are lined with lush trees, and various plants display the beauty of the four seasons. Strolling through, visitors can enjoy the forest bath experience while admiring the scenic view of the lake and mountains, creating a poetic atmosphere. The mountain trail at Lover's Lake Park leads to the sea-facing Eagle Rock, where visitors can overlook the ocean from the ridge trail, and they can see both the Dawulun Fishing Port nearby and the distant Keelung Islet and Yehliu Cape, which provides a refreshing and uplifting experience. Another theory about the origin of the name "Lover's Lake" is that there are two interconnected lakes within the park, a larger and a smaller one, resembling lovers leaning against each other for companionship, thus earning the name.
