Xinglong Lake
兴隆湖
A large artificial lake at the center of Tianfu New Area, with a greenway of about 9 km around it. Lakeside bookshops and science city buildings are reflected on the water, making it great for cycling and walking.
Xinglong Lake lies in the Science City of Tianfu New Area and covers about 4.5 square kilometers. It is the ecological heart of Chengdu’s southern new city. The greenway around the lake is about 9 km long, and visitors can rent shared bikes to ride it. Along the way are lakeside bookshops, the Tianfu International Conference Center, the Western (Chengdu) Science City Exhibition Center and other buildings. The water is clear, and at sunset the golden light on the lake and the city skyline make a popular photo scene. Entry is free. Take Metro Line 1 or 18 to Xinglong Lake Station, and combine it with a visit to Luhu Lake on the same day.
