Xianghu Lake Scenic Area
象湖
A large urban lake park in southern Nanchang, with lakeside paths, flower displays and historic-style architecture, ideal for walking and cycling.
Xianghu Lake lies in the Qingyunpu District of southern Nanchang. This extensive urban lake is ringed by landscaped walkways, greenways and several gardens, and the lake area includes a complex of replica ancient buildings. Flowers bloom in spring and lotuses in summer, and locals come here to walk, cycle and jog. Admission to the scenic area is free. It can be combined with the Bada Shanren Memorial Museum in Qingyunpu and the Shengjin Pagoda for a half-day tour of the south of the city. Metro stations serve the lake area, but the lake is large, so shared bicycles are recommended.
