Milk Lake

The Milk Lake (Chinese: 牛奶湖; pinyin: Niúnǎi Hú) is a lake in Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan. The lake is part of Yangmingshan National Park.[1]

Geology

The lake turns white due to the sulfurous fumes vented from the lake bed which turns the water murky. After gradually precipitating, the sulfur forms whitish-yellow or pale grey layers on the lake bed. The temperature of the lake is around 40 °C temperature.[2]

Transportation

The lake is accessible by bus from Shilin Station of Taipei Metro.[3]
