Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong once stayed here briefly during his southern inspection tours. The imperial inscription "Guiding Flow to Aid Transport" by Emperor Kangxi can still be found in the "Zhi Ju Tang" (Chrysanthemum Wisdom Hall) within the leisure area. In ancient times, whenever an emperor passed through on a southern tour, white swans would fly over the lake, heralding an auspicious omen — hence the name "Swan Lake."
The resort covers an area of 1,200 acres, including a lake surface of over 600 acres. It features Qing-style royal courtyard replicas, various villas in Chinese, European, American, and Japanese architectural styles, as well as business guest buildings. The recreational center, conference center, various restaurants, and a golf course are situated around the lake. Waterside pavilion villas stand elegantly in the lake, while the long Ji Yun Bridge connects the north and south shores. The hot spring water here is sourced from 2,000 meters underground, sweet, clear, and light yellow in color. The resort was rated as a National AAA-level scenic spot in 2011.
