Wenying Lake Ecological Park
文瀛湖生态公园
A city lake park in Yudong New District with an open lake surface and shaded trails around the water. The sunset views are wide, and it is a favorite place for Datong residents to stroll.
Wenying Lake lies east of the Yu River in Yudong New District. It is the largest urban lake park in Datong. The open lake has walking trails, cycling paths and viewing boardwalks around its shores. On the east bank, you can see expanses of reed wetland. At sunset the water glows golden. The park is free to enter and is good for evening walks, bike rides or family picnics with children. When the lake freezes in winter, there are ice activities. The lake is near the cluster of cultural buildings including the Datong Museum and the Art Museum, so you can visit it after touring the museums. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so take precautions.
