Wanshou Mountain Villa

Wanshou Mountain Villa

Wanshou Mountain Villa is located by Wanshou Lake in Dongyuan Township, Yugan County, on the southeastern shore of Poyang Lake. It lies to the west of the ancient battlefield site of Jigu Dun, with views of Chen Mountain and Chaqi Zhou, and to the north connects to historical landmarks such as the Zhongchen Temple in Kangshan. Rich in historical and cultural significance, the area is traversed by the Changwan Highway and is just 35 kilometers from Nanchang, the provincial capital, offering convenient transportation and a prime location.

Surrounded by mountains, Wanshou Lake boasts clear waters and lush greenery, with birds singing amid fragrant surroundings. The harmonious blend of lake and mountain scenery creates a pleasant microclimate with mild and agreeable weather, making for an exceptionally beautiful ecological environment. It serves not only as a stopover for migratory birds in winter but also as a paradise for urban dwellers seeking leisure, escape, and recuperation. Legend has it that during the great battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang on Poyang Lake in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu was captivated by the stunning scenery here and set up camp, enjoying leisurely baths and relaxation with his concubines, strategists, and generals. Hence, the lake was named Wanshou (meaning “Long Live the Emperor”) Lake.
