Luagan Lalak Recreation Park

In 1993, the planning of the formerly named Luagan Lalak Forestry Recreation Park began,[5] and it only began renovation in commemoration of the 2012 World Forestry Day.[6] From 2001 until May 2022, the park has seen a total of 81,000 visitors.

The entire recreation park sits in a freshwater swamp forest.[7] [8] A wooden bridge stretching out to three different gazebos above the lake is commonly used by people.[9] Green hills can be seen surrounding the park.[10]
