It covers an area of more than one hectare. Nanhu island and Wanshou mountain echo from afar and play an important role in enriching water scenery.

brief introduction

The whole island is in a round shape. There are Dragon King Temple, Jianyuan hall, danhuixuan, yuebolou and Yunxiang Pavilion on the island. They are all rebuilt after being destroyed. The northern part of Nanhu island is a rockery made of rocks. There are Hanxu hall and lancui room on the rockery, which are the main buildings in the island. Hanxu hall is a two volume hall with a terrace in the South and stone columns. In the southeast of the island, there is a famous 17 hole bridge connected with the East dike, which borders on the lake bank. It is surrounded by water on all sides. Around the island, it is built with huge stones and protected with blue and white stone carved hurdles. It has a wide field of vision and a panoramic view. It is the best sightseeing place in Kunming Lake. There are ferries passing through the northeast and northwest corners of the lake.

Kunming Lake is traditionally divided into South Lake and West Lake according to its location, and the island is called South Lake Island because of its location in South Lake. Together with the Jingzhi Pavilion and zaojiantang islands in the lake outside the West Bank, it symbolizes the three fairy islands of Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou in the sea. Nanhu Island, also known as "Penglai Island", symbolizes the fairy mountain on the sea in myth. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a place for emperors and empresses to enjoy the moon and watch the Navy performance.

Navy performance

In 1889, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Li Hongzhang to transfer more than 3000 officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy and new graduates of the Marine Corps of the naval academy to show her concern for the training of the Navy and the supreme authority of commanding the Qing army. They compare the small Kunming Lake to "the vast ocean", and use small fire to turn into "warships", which are deployed in the waters east of the lake, while there are army and horse teams in the West Bank and other places. Cixi sits on the "parade platform" between lancui on Nanhu Island, surrounded by banners. At the beginning of the performance, groups of "fleets" sailed from east to west, and then the sailors performed various water and diving performances, while the army horses marched actively in the West Bank and other places. "The army of the sea and the army of the land" waved the flag and shouted, saluted and cheered "Empress Dowager Cixi will live forever! Long live So as to win the favor of the "old Buddha".

Secrets of "Phoenix House"

There is a small mound on the north of Xiuqi bridge at the Hunan end of Kunming, which is called Fenghuang mound. There is a beautiful Phoenix building on the pier. Copper Phoenix is worshipped in the building, and the incense is strong in the past dynasties. However, when Daoguang, the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, gave birth to many daughters (nine daughters) and few boys, he was puzzled. One day, he called a famous Feng Shui gentleman to help him find out why. The Feng Shui warlock made a calculation and then said, "the emperor has more women than men because of the Phoenix Tower on Kunming Lake."! Because the Phoenix pier belongs to Yin, and the Phoenix Tower is built on the pier for the Phoenix God. This is Yin plus Yin, so the emperor naturally has more daughters. As soon as Daoguang heard this, he believed it. His anger started from his heart. He ordered people to demolish the building and remove the shrine. From then on, only the ruins were left here.
