Cihu Lake
磁湖
A city lake in central Huangshi where Su Shi once boated. A lakeside greenway links Tuanchengshan and Cihu Wetland, ideal for cycling and walking.
Cihu Lake covers about 10 square kilometres and contains Catfish Mound and Chengyue Island. Tuanchengshan Park lies on the north shore and Cihu Wetland Park on the south. A lakeside greenway allows cycling or walking, and the sunset and city lights are best seen in the evening. In the Northern Song dynasty, the poet Su Shi and his brother boated here and left poems. Admission is free and it is open all day. The lake is in the city centre and reachable by bus. A ride around the lake takes about 2–3 hours, and shared bicycles can be found at many points around the shore.
