As one of the relict lakes of Sanmen Lake in early Pleistocene, Luyang Lake formed in the Pleistocene of Quaternary period dating back to about 3 million years ago, and later gradually retreat into a beach in the late Ming dynasty due to crustal tectonics and global climate change. Water area of the lakes becomes larger due to development of irrigation systems and artificial water source in the past 30 years. And now, the groundwater level is rising and Wetland trend intensifying.
