Jinyang Lake
晋阳湖
A large urban lake park in southwest Taiyuan. Its lakeshore trails and wetlands are ideal for cycling and watching the sunset.
Jinyang Lake is located in Jinyuan District. It was originally the cooling water reservoir of Taiyuan's First Thermal Power Plant. After ecological restoration, it became the largest urban lake in Taiyuan, with a water surface of about 6 square kilometers. The surrounding Jinyang Lake Park has lakeshore trails, cycling paths, wetlands, and observation platforms, where in the evening you can watch the sun set behind the Western Hills. Admission is free. It is not far from Jinci Temple or the old Taiyuan county town, making it a convenient stop or cycling destination on a drive.
