Changdang Lake
长荡湖
A large lake between Jintan and Liyang, with waterfront streets, wetlands and a lakeside greenway. Autumn is famous for the Changdang Lake hairy crabs.
Changdang Lake, also known as Taohu, lies between Jintan District and Liyang City in Changzhou. It is one of Jiangsu's ten major lakes, with a wide water surface and lush aquatic plants. The Changdang Lake Tourist Resort on the shore has a historic-style water street, a wetland park and a lakeside greenway, ideal for cycling, walking and watching the sunset. From September to November, Changdang Lake hairy crabs come to market, and lakeside restaurants serve fresh lake seafood and crabs. Most areas along the water street are free to enter, though some attractions charge admission. It is about 1 hour by car from downtown Changzhou and can be combined with the Oriental Salt Lake City in the same day.
