From April to July, the air is clear, and it’s sunny most of the time, so it will be convenient for tourists to visit the lagoon. On sunny days, Lap An lagoon is like a giant mirror.
This place still retains the pristine natural scenery and is less affected by human activities. Around the lagoon is a road running along the foot of the mountain. On one side is a strip of blue water, and on the other side are the overlapping mountains, creating a picturesque landscape.
The most unique feature in Lap An lagoon is only revealed when the tide recedes. At that time, in the middle of the lagoon, a white path will appear, full of shells. Visitors can go for a walk and take great photos here.
