Gucheng Lake is located in the southeast of Gaochun district. It is called Xiaonanhu because it is close to Gucheng in ancient times. It is an inner lake in Gaochun District, with an existing area of 30.9 square kilometers and a triangular shape. The predecessor of the lake was originally a lagoon on the seashore. Coral fossils of that time can be found and collected on the limestone in the east of the lake and Huashan Area, which was called Danyang daze in ancient times. After years of river sediment accumulation, there were many lakes and beaches; after generations of reclamation, daze was divided into three lakes: Danyang, Shijiu and Gucheng. Among them, Gucheng Lake is the only one owned by Gaochun, with pure water quality and rich aquatic products, which has the reputation of "sunrise fighting gold". There are Huashan in the East, Jiulongshan in the west, yongfengwei and xiangguowei in the West. The lake is clear, rippling and beautiful.

Fan Chengda, a famous poet in Southern Song Dynasty, also went boating in this lake, and left a lot of poems. Gucheng Lake is also an important part of Xu River, the first man-made canal in the world. During the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period, Wu and Chu fought against each other. In order to transport grain and troops, Wu Zixu, the general of Wu state, excavated the canal, starting from Gaochun, passing through Liyang, Yixing and Wuxi to Suzhou, and finally into Taihu Lake.
