Du Lake

Du Lake

Du Lake is the largest lake in Cixi City (located in the east of Shanglin lake in Cixi), covering an area of more than 3700 mu.

Introduction to lakes

Like the West Lake in Hangzhou, du Lake is also divided into two parts: the inner lake and the outer lake. It is only because there is a 5 km long dike between the two lakes that du Lake is not a big illusion. However, if you look far away, it is still one. Along the West Bank of the lake, the south side of the lake is the continuous mountains, and the north side is the ten mile long bank. The trees are verdant, the mountains are covered, the sea is vast, and the sky is the same color. In Jiejia village, Hunan Province, there is the site of dingshui temple, the former residence of Yu Shinan, a famous official and calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty; in Gaotian village, north of the lake embankment, there is a brick and wood structure building in the late Qing Dynasty, which is the former site of the establishment of the eastern Zhejiang District Committee of the Communist Party of China in July 1942; Yuan Shao, the Duke of Yue in the Southern Song Dynasty, was also buried here, which really adds color to du Lake.
