Crescent Lake

Crescent Lake

Yueya Lake is located in Qinhuai District of Nanjing City, with Ming City Wall in the West and Zijin Mountain in the East. It is named for its crescent shape.

In 2017, the government funded the lake bottom desilting and water ecological restoration project of Yueya Lake, and built an island in the middle of the lake to provide a safe and comfortable habitat for nearby birds.
