Read moreThe Lac de la Pureté is surrounded by a 7 km marked path that allows you to walk along the city's sumptuous golf course, a few residential areas where time seems to have stood still and admire beautiful panaromas. Around the lake, the Chengching Youth Activity Centre offers accommodation and activities. An oceanographic museum is also open along the south bank. Chunghsing Pagoda is surrounded by islands and bridges. The walk is very pleasant, even if the weekend crowds can be dense.
