Milk Pond

As one of the favorite spots of urban dwellers who suffer from “nature deprivation,” Yangmingshan is full of natural wonders. For example, Lengshuikeng (冷水坑) is home to the one and only lake of precipitated sulfur in Taiwan. As the post-volcanic activities are still active in the area and sulfurous fumes in the lake bed turn the water milky white, it is therefore known as Milk Pond. No need to climb all the steps as you will find it right next to the parking lot.

However, Yangmingshan National Park management decided it would be best to protect the pond from tourists. Currently, there is no single path that leads you to the very edge of Milk Pond. The only way to behold such a marvelous sight is to view from the high level or simply stay on the walking trail.
