Nestled in the western part of Donghai County, renowned as the "Crystal Capital", lies a hidden gem—the Xishuang Lake Scenic Area. This man-made lake, with water as its soul, offers breathtaking views throughout the year. Adjacent to it stands the China Donghai Crystal Museum, adding a touch of cultural richness to the area.
The Xishuang Lake Scenic Area is divided into two main sections: the ecological sightseeing zone and the sports and leisure zone. The lake is adorned with Xishuang Island, which harmoniously echoes the distant Xishuang Mountain, creating a natural ink painting of "mountains embracing water".
The pristine ecology of Xishuang Lake has also attracted a variety of birds to make it their home. The wetland reserve on the western side is a sanctuary for numerous bird species. In spring and summer, the reeds sway gently, while in autumn and winter, migratory birds grace the area with their elegant presence.
The Xishuang Lake Scenic Area is open to the public free of charge all day. Whether you're boating on the lake, climbing to the summit of Xishuang Mountain for a panoramic view, or quietly enjoying the sunrise by the lakeside, the poetic memories of this serene retreat will linger in your heart.
The scenic area also hosts a variety of events, such as radio song festivals, traditional Chinese opera evenings, and Spring Festival lantern shows, all of which celebrate the rich cultural heritage of China.
