## About Dongjiang Lake Tourist Area

Dongjiang Lake in Chenzhou stretches vast and misty, with water and sky merging into one colour. The most enchanting sight is the ever-changing morning mist, now thick, now thin, with swaying fishing boats appearing and disappearing within it. Green hills and jade-green waters, veiled in mist, look like an ink-wash painting. “Mist shrouds the cold water, moonlight shrouds the sand”: it is an intoxicating scene of Jiangnan beauty.
