Best visited in snowy day

Is a beautiful lake and lovely for a slow walk to enjoy the scene. I was there in a winter snowy day. Although it was cold, but was lovely.

It's a peaceful oasis, so you gotta roll with it (sorry)

Those who are even trying to compare to West Lake in Hangzhou are not being at all fair on this place and though yes it does have nominal similarities, that's it. This is about 120 years old, the brainchild of a local Qing lord who...More

Worth a trip

Worth a trip, but not a patch on West Lake in Hangzhou, though it's supposed to be one of the three famous lakes of China. Not a particularly difficult or long walk.

Dong Hu was formed after a quarry was filled in with water. The lake itself is quite small compared with other lakes in China. The amazing features are the remaining rock cliffs that are multiple shades of rusts, greens, and browns. Guests can walk through...More

Beautiful

East Lake rocks! The east lake has lots of fresh air and you must go on the boat ride (¥250-270). From Shanghai or Beijing? Well... This must be your favourite attraction!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The Lake Garden in a Quarry

East Lake of Shaoxing is very different from the numerous other lakes and ponds we have seen in China due to its unusual history. This is a lake garden which was created when an abandoned quarry slowly filled up with rainwater. It has gradually been...More
