Lake Mien , which is now a bathing lake, is originally a 120 million old meteor crater. The original crater was about 9 km in diameter but erosion has made the crater smaller and it now has a diameter of about 5 km. In the middle of the crater, an island was created by the impact.
Along the lake shore it is possible to find Mien Impactites
