Xin'an Lake
信安湖
A city lake formed where the Qu River meets the Changshan and Jiangshan rivers. A green riverside path connects Shuiting Gate and the old city wall, and it is famous for its nighttime light show.
Xin'an Lake is a broad stretch of the Qu River as it flows through central Quzhou. The name comes from Quzhou's ancient name, Xin'an. Dozens of kilometers of waterfront greenways line its banks, along with footbridges such as Lixian Bridge. The west bank is the historic old town of Shuiting Gate. In the evening, you can stroll or ride a shared bike along the outside of the city wall. After dark, lights on both banks reflect on the water, and during holidays there are light shows and sightseeing boats. The greenway is free, and boat fares depend on the day. It is right outside Shuiting Gate and ideal for a stroll after dinner.
