## About Nanwan Lake

This provincial-level scenic area is not to be missed. Its broad lake stretches to the horizon, where water meets sky. On still days the lake mirrors the clouds; when waves surge, it takes on the grandeur of the sea. Taking a small boat out on the lake on a moonlit night gives a feeling of wandering through an immortal's realm.
