Minghu, located in Chizhou, is renowned for its exceptionally clear waters and picturesque scenery. The lake’s surface mirrors the surrounding mountains and lush greenery, creating a breathtaking landscape ideal for photographers. The lake’s name originates from the shimmering, reflective waters of the Tang Dynasty. Su Shi, a renowned Song Dynasty poet, once sailed on the lake, inspiring the famous line “Lake light and waves shimmering, such a beautiful day.” The lake features an ecological corridor, viewing platforms, a wetland park, and ancient site ruins. The viewing platforms provide panoramic views of the lake and Chizhou city. The wetland park is home to white herons and ducks, showcasing rich ecological resources. The western shore houses the ruins of an ancient pier, a vital waterway during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
