Before you go

• This scenic area is currently closed — call ahead or check online to confirm whether it has reopened before making the trip.
• If it has reopened, historical accounts suggest the site is small and can be seen in 1-2 hours.
• It can be combined with nearby Tianma Mountain and Laojunding, if you're building an itinerary around the area.
• There is no official explanation for the closure or an expected reopening date — don't rely on secondhand information found online.
• Historically, activities here centered on family leisure and fishing rather than major attractions, so keep expectations modest even if it reopens.

Tickets IMPORTANT: Tianma Lake is currently closed/suspended, and ticket information will only be confirmed if it reopens. The historical listed price was about ¥10, with free admission for children under 1.2 m and active-duty military personnel, but this reflects the most recent historical data available, not a current price. The site is not currently operating — call the Funing District tourism authority to check its latest status before planning a visit.

Hours CLOSED: As of 2025, multiple sources report the scenic area is suspended and not operating. Historical opening hours were 08:00-17:00, but there is no official announcement of a reopening date.
