  The main peak of the Changpai Mountains is a volcano which last erupted in 1702. Lava piled up around the crater and formed a huge cone which through the years became filled with water and is now known as Tienchih Lake (Heavenly Lake). This slightly oblong lake, which measures four kilometers from north to south, and three from east to west is surrounded by 16 peaks whose reflection in the blue water on a clear day forms a spectacular sight.
