What travelers are saying

The vertical rock that stand so high from the lake with a boat ride makes them look so magnificent.

Spectacular carst cliffs surrounds one side of the lake.

Every other photo taken was a postcard worthy shot.

Beautiful lake

East lake is a beautiful lake in Shaoxing. It was the first place I visited in Shaoxing after I had moved to China. Climbing up the hills was fun. The view around, the nature, it's a beautiful place to spend a day.

Was that it?

It offers beautiful scenery, but the lake itself is so small that taking boat ride is almost not worth it. Nothing really to see except if you go up the mountain... with the pathway not that well maintained .

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.

While this is a smaller lake it makes up for it's unique shape and the beauty as seen from either on the hill side above it or walking along the water. overall the entire circle walk can be done in around 2hours which includes stopping...More

Amazing Rock Colors!!

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
