The Nine-Dragon Lake

The Nine-Dragon Lake, an artificial lake built in 1959, covers an area of about 5,300 square meters. With the Nine-Dragon Bridge laid across the surface, the lake is divided into two parts: the Upper Lake and the Lower Lake. In the upper part there is a modern fountain. On the Lower Lake, a Dragon Boat floats on the surface and a Statue of Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuan Zong's favorite, stands not far away. To the west of the lake lies a stone-dam on which many characters and phrases praising the beauty of the lake are scribed.

Around the lake you will find many buildings in the Tang Dynasty architectural style such as the Marble Boat, the Nine-bend Corridor, the Chenxiang Hall, the Frost Drifting Hall, the Yichun Pavilion, etc. These buildings have red as their key color and are surrounded with green pines, weeping willows and grasses, completing a picturesque view.
