The Xiufeng Lake Park covers a total area of about 600 acres, with the lake itself spanning over 310 acres. The scenic spots are laid out in an orderly fashion, creating a seamless integration of water and landscape. A jade-like ribbon bridge divides the lake into northern and southern sections; a lakeside corridor connects the eastern and western shores; and several man-made islands house recreational areas with different functions.
To showcase the charm of the bamboo region and highlight the elegance of the “Bamboo City,” the people of Yiyang have created eight bamboo-themed attractions around the picturesque Xiufeng Lake. Among them, the HuiLong Bridge, YiQing Pavilion, and TianZhu Tower—three masterpieces of bamboo artistry—are hailed as the “Three Wonders of the Bamboo City and the Three Marvels of China.”
HuiLong Bridge: Utilizing the lakeside corridor and arched bridge, two bamboo dragon corridors, each 64 meters long and made from nanmu bamboo, meet nose-to-nose at the winding bridge in the lake, forming a vivid scene of “two dragons playing with a pearl” in the water.
YiQing Pavilion: Moored on the northern lake. The pavilion’s roof is a 12-meter-diameter Yiyang bamboo oil-paper umbrella. Opened under the sunlight and above the clear water, the umbrella shelters a music teahouse that can accommodate dozens of visitors.
TianZhu Tower: Comprising one tall tower and two shorter ones, all three are linked together. The tall tower has seven stories and stands 19.8 meters high. From its rooftop to its foundation, from its tiles to its walls, the entire structure is riveted together using nanmu bamboo—without a single nail or piece of iron.
