Xuanwu Lake, intoxicating you!

Nanjing Xuanwu Lake. When traveling to Nanjing, in addition to the Confucius Temple and the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, there is also a beautiful place, which is Xuanwu Lake. Xuanwu Lake is the largest urban park in the south of the Yangtze River and the largest royal garden lake in China. It is known as the "Pearl of Jinling". The area of Xuanwu Lake is 472 hectares, of which the water surface accounts for 391 hectares. The entire lake is composed of five connected areas, namely Huanzhou, Yingzhou, Cuizhou, Lingzhou and Liangzhou. There are also many small islands in the scenic area, such as Cuiluo Mountain, Wufeng Building, Elephant Pool, etc. Each island has unique attractions and landscapes. In Xuanwu Lake, you can take a boat to visit the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake. There are many cruise ships on the lake for tourists to rent. You can choose electric boats or pedal boats to slowly enjoy the lake view. In addition, you can also take a painting boat to experience a more luxurious tour. In addition to the lake view, Xuanwu Lake also has many cultural landscapes. For example, the Purple Mountain Observatory on Cuiluo Mountain is the cradle of modern Chinese astronomy and has discovered more than 1,000 stars. In addition, Wufeng Building is one of the representatives of Ming Dynasty royal architecture. It is now a branch of the Nanjing Museum and collects many precious historical relics. In addition, Xuanwu Lake is also a venue for various activities, such as the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, Lotus Festival, etc., attracting a large number of tourists to watch. These activities not only show the natural scenery of Xuanwu Lake, but also enrich the cultural connotation of the scenic area. In short, Xuanwu Lake is a tourist attraction integrating natural scenery, history and culture, and leisure and entertainment, which is worth visiting.
