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 the middle of the lake from one end to another on a man-made walkway lined... More 

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!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

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 place is a fantastic naturally experience and shows great nature. Indeed the most beutiful place around Shaoxing

Only minutes from the city lies this beautifully scenic area. Tour the cathedral-like cliffs by Shaoxing's unique black boats. It was created centuries ago as a quarry that built much of the famous old bridges in the region. Easy to get to and leave - by taxi.
