## About Nianhua Bay

Nianhua Bay, a small town adjoining the Lingshan Scenic Area, has an antique style themed on Chan (Zen) Buddhism. Buildings such as the Chan Music Hall, Hundred Flowers Hall, Miaoyin Terrace and Nianhua Hall each have their own character. The quiet, romantic night scenery of Nianhua Bay is beautiful, and watching the unusual 3D water-screen film on Nianhua Lake is a very novel experience. The town is dotted with small bridges, flowing streams and garden vignettes, making it especially suited to relaxing and cultivating one’s inner peace.
