Hancheng Lake
汉城湖
A lakeside park east of the Han Chang'an City ruins, with the Great Wind Pavilion, a giant statue of Emperor Wu of Han and a lakeside path. A leisure spot in northern Xi'an.
Hancheng Lake is in Weiyang District. It was originally the Tuanjie Reservoir, the moat of Han Chang'an City, and has been transformed into a lakeside park themed on Han culture. Highlights include the Great Wind Pavilion, a giant statue of Emperor Wu of Han, the ruins of Bacheng Gate, boat rides and a path around the lake. Admission is free, though some attractions charge fees. It is pleasant for cycling or walking in spring and autumn. It can be combined with the Weiyang Palace ruins of Han Chang'an City and the Daming Palace in a northern itinerary.
