Xuan Wu Lake
With the beautiful landscapes on the eastern shore, Xuanwu Lake is surrounded by 5 islets which were linked by causeways or bridges as a whole.
It was an imperial resort originally and open to the public since 1911 when the power of Qing Dynasty collapsed. The most impressive remnant of imperial days can be found at the south end of the park, where the Xuanwu Gate connects with a well-preserved section of the old city walls.
Xuanwu Lake Park is now among the hotspots in Nanjing. The residents can go to the park for out strolling, picnicking, flying kites, paddle-boating on the lake and enjoying this beautiful urban green space.
