Dongshan Lake Scenic Area is surrounded by mountains on three sides and bordered by water on one side, with a central lake, creating a quiet and unique geographical environment. The sparkling lake waters, the harmonious scenery of mountains and water, the undulating mountains, and the bamboo forests covering the layered peaks have formed a one-of-a-kind natural landscape that cannot be replicated.
Dongshan Lake lies adjacent to Dongshan, which is part of the area associated with the famous Eastern Jin dynasty official Xie An and his典故 ‘Rising from the East Mountain’. Legend has it that this place was once where Xie An stationed his troops and raised horses, hence the common name ‘Ma Ao’. Dongshan Lake shares a historical development with Dongshan, together forming the Dongshan culture and nurturing generation after generation of cultural figures. Dongshan Lake was the place where Xie An longed to retreat in those years, the site of the historical event ‘Rising from the East Mountain’, and also the place where the spirit of ‘Rising from the East Mountain’ continues. Walk the ancient Dongshan path, appreciate the forest canyons, cleanse your heart at Qingtan, seek the fairy water at the source, visit the military stationing and horse-raising area, and view the ‘Rising from the East Mountain’ stone. The Dongshan Lake Scenic Area, relying on its beautiful mountain and water resources and focusing on Dongshan culture, adopts a development strategy that integrates natural landscapes with man-made attractions, fully exploring various cultural resources such as the culture of rebirth, seclusion, inspiration, and study. By integrating scenic spots with attractions, stringing together folklore, digging into culture, and combining culture with leisure, leisure with sports, the scenic area has successively opened up a variety of tourism projects, including health and leisure, cultural sightseeing, sports and fitness, outdoor training, and children’s fun areas. It also provides multifunctional integrated services such as conference training, catering and accommodation, sightseeing, and vacationing, making it a comprehensive scenic area that integrates tourism, appreciation, entertainment, shopping, dining, and accommodation, with a rich historical and cultural heritage.
