Weishan Lake Park

　　Weishan Lake Park in Tengzhou, Shandong, is situated at the northeastern edge of the Nansi Lakes, in the northwest part of Tengzhou City, within the territory of Binhu Town. It borders Fushan Mountain to the north, reaches Tengzhou Port to the south, and lies adjacent to Weishan Lake to the west. The park spans 763 hectares, with over 100,000 mu of shallow water lake areas designated as red lotus viewing zones. It is the largest such area in East China, featuring the most pristine ecological environment, the finest wetland landscapes, and China’s most extensive lotus viewing scenery. The park has established more than 50 scenic spots including Red Lotus Square, Red Lotus Boutique Garden, Wetland Leisure Garden, Recreational Resort Garden, Water Amusement Park, Hundred Lotuses Poetry Corridor, Water Sightseeing, Island Exploration, Wetland Rafting, and Red Lotus in Misty Rain. These attractions integrate tourism with nature, culture, and the human living environment. The park has gradually developed into an emerging base for red tourism and patriotic education, becoming a new highlight that extends the Mount Tai–Qufu tourist route to the south, and contributing to the formation of Shandong Province’s new “one mountain, two waters, three sages” tourism layout.

　　The scenic area includes themed zones such as the Red Lotus Cultural Garden, Wetland Leisure Garden, Recreational Resort Garden, Wetland Adventure Garden, and Water Amusement Park. On Panlong Island, there is the Imperial Medical Pavilion and a small fishing village where heroes from the Railway Guerrilla unit, such as Captain Liu Hong and Fang Lin’s Wife, once lived. Key attractions include vast expanses of red lotus flowers, miles of reed marshes, the morning melodies at the docks, sunset over Weihu Lake, fishermen singing at dusk, tens of thousands of poplar trees, boundless blue waters, snowflakes of reeds, and poetic views of the lotuses. There is also the No.1 Lotus Carving in North China, a Hundred Lotuses Viewing Garden, as well as inscriptions and calligraphy by notable historical and contemporary figures from China and abroad.
