Lanshi Scenic Area

　　Lanshi Scenic Area is located near Qishi, a famous mountain in Du'nan, just 3 kilometers west of Du'nan Town. The area features undulating peaks and lush forests; the waters of Lanshan Lake are deep and clear, offering picturesque lake and mountain views — an ideal destination for travel and vacation.

　　Originally named "Lanshi" (meaning "Rotten Stones"), the area had no Lanshan Lake. It was once a vast expanse of low-lying, cold-water rice fields scattered with broken stones, making it unsuitable for cultivation. In 1958, the people of Du'nan Town launched a major water conservancy project. Thousands of workers gathered at the "Rotten Stones," digging with shovels and carrying soil on their shoulders. They built a 45,000-cubic-meter earthen dam at the mountain's edge, collecting the highland streams to form today’s expansive Lanshan Lake. The local name "Lanshi" (Rotten Stones) was thus renamed Lanshi (Lan Lake).

　　In recent years, the Du'nan Town Government Water Conservancy Association has taken advantage of this unique environment to develop the Langu Happy Valley. A swimming area has been set up by the lake for swimming lessons; small pleasure boats are available for cruising the shimmering waters under blue skies; there is a barbecue area for gathering around the grill and enjoying a fun meal; fishing spots offer a relaxing pastime; and the Lanshi Hotel, situated against the mountain and facing the lake, houses lodging, a restaurant, a dance hall, and an “open-air night garden.”
