Shenggengtang Lake Park
省耕塘
A Qing-dynasty reservoir northeast of Zhaotong, now a lake park with embankment paths, willow trees and a lake, ideal for strolling and watching the sunset.
Shenggengtang lies northeast of Zhaoyang District. It was originally a pond built in the Qing dynasty to irrigate farmland, and its name (省耕) carries the sense of easing the labour of farming. It was later expanded into a lake park. Around the lake there are embankment paths, willow trees and pavilions, and visitors come in the evening to watch the sunset. It is a place where locals walk and exercise. Admission is free, it is about 3 kilometres from Zhaotong Old Town, and it suits a relaxed walk within the city.
