A perfect place to visit in the summer, the only problem is that everyone else will be visiting it then too; as soon as you arrive you can either walk along the river or get a boat cruise across the beautiful water which reflects the hanging trees and clear sunny skies above. Along the sides of the river are hundreds of different kinds of plants of all different sizes and colours and paths leading in different directions, giving something new to discover each time you visit. At the centre of the lake rests the most famous landmark in the city of Yangzhou, the Five pavilion bridge, it's bright colours look beautiful in the sunlight and is usually filled with other people coming to visit. As you explore the different parts of the lake you can see birds like swans or peacocks and groups of people taking the perfect photo. You see the traditional Chinese architecture, old buildings lost behind plant life and different paths to explore.

This is a large lake so probably not practical to walk all round it. We started at the railway station and walked to Xuanwu gate across to Cherry Isle and then out again at Jiefang gate. Since it is December, you see yellow on the willows against green grass, a lighter green of algae, and brown wilted lotus. It makes for a very picturesque walk.

We came here at night and it was beautifully lit up. There were quite a few majestic and tall buildings brightly lit up with neon and led lights. We were hoping to catch the musical fountain show but alas, it was cancelled due to maintenance. Supposed to be held on Friday nights, holidays and festivals. Nevertheless, it was relaxing just to sit around and enjoy the cool breeze and night lights beside the lake. Lots of people, especially youngsters were milling around. Very relaxing place. Suggest you bring some drinks and snacks while you relax and enjoy the views. Very near the metro station.

First time to visit this place for the famous hairy crab. The owner is very friendly and generous. He picked up us from the north wharf and drive to his restaurant. All of the crabs are live and big. You can pick any one you like! Also, it will come with other fresh and delicious dishes together. You won’t regret to have the crabs here! Highly recommend!
