The East Lake is the pride and joy of the people of Wuhan.Millions of residents here get a lot of fun out of going for a walk along the lakeside in spring,swimming in summer,appreciating sweet laurel in autumn and admiring plum in winter. | The lake covers 33 sq.km.and stretches far into the distance.Ancient pagodas and temples scattered in 34 verdant hills around the lake make the scenic spot more historic and imposing.All the six areas of the East Lake have in common green hills,clear waters,an abundance of woods and typical style of Chu Culture.Perhaps you'll enjoy yourself most in two of them-Tingtao Pavilion and Moshan Hill. Willows dance gracefully and water lily sleeps deeply around Tingtao Pavilion,a three -storey palace building,in front of which the grand and lifelike statue of Qu Yuan is looking up at the sky and sighing sadly at the subjugation of Chu.On the east side of the lake towers aloft Moshan Hill,where the City of Chu has been set up according to the legend that Zhaolie,King of the Chu State laid an altar and worshiped Heaven there.The imposing Chutian Tower symbolizes the power and prosperity of the ancient State of Chu. Among all kinds of flowers,plum,lotus and cassia are of great reputation.The National Plum and Lotus Research Centre is set up here.The Easst Lake used to be a private farm several decades ago.In 1950 the farm was turned into a scenic spot.The government provided an enormous financial support to start.In 1982 the East Lake was rated by the State Council as one of the first group of national key resorts.It receives more than two million tourists a year.
