Jinghu Lake Park
镜湖公园
A city-centre lake that, according to legend, was dug from fields donated by the Southern Song poet Zhang Xiaoxiang. Surrounded by Jiuzi Square, the pedestrian street and the old town, it is Wuhu's urban living room.
Jinghu Lake sits in the centre of Wuhu. Legend says that the Southern Song poet Zhang Xiaoxiang donated his fields to create it. Its still water reflects the sky like a mirror, which gave the lake its name. It is divided into greater and lesser Mirror Lakes. Along the shores are Yanyu Dun, the Anhui Cultural Celebrities Library and Jiuzi Square, and the Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street and the old town of Wuhu surround it. The lakeside paths are free to use. Residents stroll and dance there morning and evening, and at night the water reflects the city lights. It makes a good central point for a day in the old town.
