Qinwang Lake

The Qinwang Lake is 30 kilometers west of Shahe City and 50 kilometers away from Xingtai City.

There are many wonderful peaks and gorges forming beautiful scenes together with the lake. In particular, the “three gorges, four valleys and fifty spots” are typical of the beauty around the lake. The Lion Peak, Qinwang Peak, the Mother-and-Son Peak, the Lotus Peak, the Monk Peak, Wucang Peak, Laojun Terrace, Qiquan Temple, the Taihang Flume are some of the lively names of the places in the area. Qinwang Lake was the very place where the troop of Prince Qin fought against Liu Heita's uprising army in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty. They had fought against each other for three whole days. Later on, in order to honor the officers and men who died in the battle, Prince Qin ordered one of his officers to construct the Qiquan Temple. Taihang Flume, a project built in the 1950s to bring water up the mountain, also runs through the mountain.
