Dongshan Lake Scenic Area

Dongshan Lake Scenic Area is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one, with a tranquil environment and a central lake, forming a unique geographical environment. The sparkling lake waters, the harmonious reflection of mountains and waters, the undulating mountains, and the lush bamboo forests create an irreplaceable pristine natural landscape.

Dongshan Lake is adjacent to Dongshan Mountain, which is part of the region associated with the famous Eastern Jin Dynasty statesman Xie An, known for his phrase ‘rising from the east mountain.’ It is said that this place was once where Xie An stationed his troops and raised horses, hence the common name Ma Ao. Dongshan Lake and Dongshan have a shared historical development, together forming the Dongshan culture, which has nurtured generations of cultural figures. Dongshan Lake was not only the place Xie An longed to retreat to but also the site of the historical event ‘rising from the east mountain,’ and it continues to embody the spirit of this resurgence.
