Jiulong Lake in Daxian

　　   Jiulong Lake is like a silver mirror embedded in the precious land of Daxian, shimmering with dazzling brilliance. The lake covers an area of 3,480 mu and has a water storage capacity of 19.54 million cubic meters. Eight islands of various shapes and sizes are scattered across the lake like stars in the sky. Nine peninsulas extend from all directions into the lake like nine giant dragons, hence the name.

　　    Within Jiulong Lake, the vast expanse of misty waters is serene and tranquil. The surrounding hills cradle the lake, presenting a picturesque and unique scene. The harmonious blend of lake and mountain scenery, rich aquatic life, red walls with blue tiles, and curling cooking smoke create a refreshing and idyllic image of the Jiangnan water town. On the southeastern shore of the lake lies a magical cave called "Longling Cave." The cave features a network of interconnected chambers that twist and turn, extending deep beyond sight. White stalactites hang like silver waterfalls and droop like curtains.

　　    Jiulong Lake boasts beautiful and enchanting legends, where the rich local Bayu culture blends seamlessly with the stunning natural landscape of mountains, waters, forests, and caves. Taking a boat tour here allows you to experience the charm of Taihu Lake as well as the grandeur of the Three Gorges.
