Ulan Moron Lake
乌兰木伦湖·滨河广场
A man-made lake at the southern end of Kangbashi, where lakeside paths, a musical fountain and the city skyline come together. The top choice for night views.
Ulan Moron Lake was formed by damming the Ulan Moron River. It sits at the southern end of the Kangbashi central axis. The north shore has a riverside plaza and municipal buildings, and the south shore belongs to Yijinholo Banner. Long promenades and cycling paths line the shore. In summer the lakeside musical fountain runs in the evening (specific sessions as announced), and the water curtain mingled with city lights makes this Kangbashi's most popular night-view spot. In the daytime you can cycle around the lake or take a boat trip, and in the evening you can watch the sun set over the water. Entry to the lake area is free, while boat trips and other activities cost extra. It is about a 15–20 minute walk south from Genghis Khan Square along the central axis. The lake can be windy at night, so bring a jacket.
