Haizi Lake Tourist Resort

Haizi Lake Tourist Resort

Located in Haihu Village, Yingcheng Town, Jingzhou District, Hubei Province. From downtown Jingzhou to Haizi Lake, you can take the No. 22 bus directly, covering a distance of about 10 kilometers. It is a comprehensive tourist resort integrating natural lake scenery, leisure, and vacation.

The resort is located at the junction of Haizi Lake and Miao Lake, where a 3.03-li-long stone bridge named Heshang Bridge spans the two lakes. It was funded and built in the mid-19th century during the Qing Dynasty's Guangxu reign by a philanthropic Taoist priest named Zhang Jingfang. The bridge is 4 meters wide and 3 meters high (above water level). Due to its long and winding structure, it resembles a flowing ribbon across the lake. The bridge offers fishing spots for visitors, while the lake allows for boating activities. In spring, the lake is covered with lotus flowers; in summer and autumn, visitors can pick water chestnuts and lotus seeds on the water, and in winter, they can fish and catch turtles. The Haizi Lake Tourist Resort centers around Heshang Bridge between Haizi Lake and Miao Lake, with interactive development on both sides, and its core area concentrated around the “Heshang Bridge.” To the south of the bridge lies Luojia Mountain, and to the north lies Hongsheng Mountain. Standing atop the mountains and overlooking the “Heshang Bridge,” visitors are transported into a mythical realm — the bridge looks like a beautiful snake wandering on the lake or seemingly swimming toward you, with no visible end, captivating the imagination of all who see it.
