## About Jianhu Lake (Mirror Lake)

Also known as Mirror Lake. In the long history of Jianhu, the passages most familiar to us are probably those about the Wannian opera stage in Lu Xun’s writings, and the heroic spirit of Qiu Jin, the heroine of Jianhu. The Ancient Jianhu area within Keyan Scenic Area is the core of the lake today. Visitors must take a boat from the Keyan Scenic Area pier to get there.
