The Chiaming Lake (Chinese: 嘉明湖; pinyin: Jiāmíng Hú) is a lake in Haiduan Township, Taitung County, Taiwan. It is the second highest lake area in Taiwan. In Bunun language, Chiaming Lake is called "cidanumas buan", meaning "Mirror of the moon"; in Taiwan, it is traditionally referred as "Angel's teardrop" or, due to its deep blue color, "God's lost sapphire".
