West Taihu Lanyue Bay (Ge Lake)

West Taihu Lanyue Bay (Ge Lake)

West Taihu, also known as Ge Lake, is the second-largest lake in southern Jiangsu after Taihu Lake, and hosted the 8th China Flower Expo. The area most visited is Lanyue Bay. The shores of West Taihu still retain the tranquility and leisure of Qing Dynasty poet Zhao Yi boating on the lake. You can come here with family or loved ones to enjoy the breeze, take a walk, admire the lake view, fly kites, watch egrets soaring overhead—it's very relaxing. It’s also a great spot to bring kids for an evening fountain show. Currently, the scenery is rather limited with no additional entertainment facilities, so you might skip it if you’re short on time. The sun is strong during summer days, so remember to apply sunscreen.
