The Greenery of Dianchi Lake - Kunming Haigeng Park

Dianchi Lake is the largest lake in Yunnan, and Kunming is located at the northeast corner of Dianchi Lake. With the city's development, Dianchi Lake has gradually become an inner lake of Kunming. Along the shores of Dianchi Lake, various resorts of different sizes have been built. However, there is a patch of green that people cannot bypass when getting close to Dianchi Lake, and that is Haigeng Park. Haigeng is 8 kilometers away from the downtown area of Kunming, originally a wedge-shaped long dike stretching from east to west into Dianchi Lake. It starts from Haigeng Village in the east and reaches the foot of Xishan Mountain in the west, with a total length of 5 kilometers and a width ranging from 60 to 300 meters. The narrow Haigeng divides Dianchi Lake into two parts: the south side is the vast and misty Dianchi Lake, and the north side is known as the 'Grass Sea'. Haigeng Park is built upon Haigeng dike. It was established in the 1960s and, after years of development, has become one of the most beautiful parks on the shores of Dianchi Lake, as well as the preferred place for people to appreciate the scenery of Dianchi Lake. In Haigeng Park, people can stroll along the long lakeside boardwalk, wandering between the green waters of Dianchi Lake and the verdant vegetation of the park, looking across the lake at Xishan Mountain on the opposite shore, enjoying the charming scenery. The park also has large lawns for play, and a series of white sculptures that further enhance the beauty of this green space.
