Qionghu Park

　　 Qionghu Park is located in the urban area, covering approximately 600 hectares. The island features a lake, and the lake contains an island, making it a water-themed park supported by two land areas—Meishuyuan and Zhongjiazui. The park includes cultural and entertainment zones, water recreation areas, and a historical and cultural zone. Among these, the historical and cultural zone features lakeside pavilions and the Dongting Museum, which showcases the distinctive culture of the lake region. The two land areas are covered with lush ancient trees and vibrant flowers and plants all year round. Especially after the construction of the lake-centered embankment (road), the city’s historic waterside old street is now connected to the new inland street. Rows of weeping willows line both sides of the embankment, and the lake surface is as smooth as a mirror, resembling the "Willow-lined Embankment of West Lake."
