Nanhu Lake in Yueyang, a pearl by the shores of Dongting Lake, is one of the core scenic areas of the national-level Yueyang Tower-Dongting Lake Scenic Area, renowned both at home and abroad. On October 28, 2016, this radiant pearl of Dongting Lake is set to shine in a whole new light—the 2016 Yueyang Nanhu New District and Hunan Broadcasting System’s Tianyu Advertising Strategic Cooperation Signing Ceremony and Press Conference will be grandly held at the Sheng’an Temple–Tea Expo City Plaza.
Since ancient times, Nanhu has inspired timeless poetry, such as Li Bai’s verses: “The autumn waters of Nanhu, smokeless at night—why not ride the flow straight to the sky? Let’s borrow the moonlight from Dongting, and buy wine from boats by the jade-white clouds.” It also boasts a global outlook as the site of international dragon boat races, making it an ideal tourist destination in Hunan and even China throughout history. In the future, visitors to Nanhu will not only enjoy its beautiful scenery but also experience the joy of gliding across the shimmering lake by electric sightseeing cart, bicycle, or on foot. The most scenic tour route around Nanhu will establish it as a unique sports-themed landscape and cultural destination in Hunan and across the nation.
