Chishan Lake National Wetland Park
赤山湖国家湿地公园
A lakeside wetland southwest of Jurong, with reed marshes and abundant waterbirds. The lake's greenway suits cycling, and winter brings migratory birds.
Chishan Lake lies southwest of Jurong City. Historically known as Chishan Tang, it was an important reservoir on the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River. It is now a national wetland park, with a broad lake surface where reeds, lotus ponds, and wetland islets connect. Large numbers of migratory birds arrive in winter. The park has a lakeside walking trail and a cycling path, and bicycles can be rented. It is about 50 km from downtown Zhenjiang and closer to Nanjing. It can be combined with Maoshan and Oriental Salt Lake City for a Jurong day trip.
