Tian'e Lake (Swan Lake)
天鹅湖
A city lake in the Government Affairs District, ringed by the Hefei Grand Theatre and high-rises, whose night views and lakeside trail make it Hefei's signature urban landmark.
Tian'e Lake sits in the center of the Government Affairs New District in Shushan District. Its shores are lined with the Hefei Grand Theatre, the twin towers of the Municipal Government Center, the Anhui Radio and Television Center and many office towers, making it Hefei's most modern urban scenery. Walking paths, bike lanes and lawns run along the lake. At dusk the sunset and the lights of the buildings are reflected on the water, and light shows are often held on holidays. Admission is free. A full loop of the lake is about 5 km, ideal for walking or cycling. Getting there: take Line 1 or Line 3 to a station near the lake. The new building of the Anhui Museum and the Hefei Grand Theatre are both by the water.
