Kunming Green Lake

The next position on the list of the most beautiful lakes in China is the Kunming Green Lake, formerly known as the Nine Dragon Pond and formed from the waters of the nine springs. It is praised as an emerald inlaid in Kunming City with the best central viewings and is situated in west Wuhua Mountain. The best two attractions are the enormous cluster of lush lotus in the summer and the swarms of red-billed gulls migrating in from Siberia in the winter.

One of the eight best landscapes in Kunming, according to Wang Sheng's prose poem about the city written during the Yuan Dynasty, is the Spring Scenery of Green Lake. Green Lake offers unique beauty and local culture, for the nationally renowned Yunnan University and a site where great writers Shen Congwen, Zhu Ziqing, and Wu Mi discussed history, enjoyed tea, and explored good reads located nearby. Green Lake is named for the extremely green water in all seasons and willows along the embankment.

The park is divided into five sections the east-west Tang Embankment and the south-north Ruan Embankment. Visitors can enter the park from four different entrances in four different directions. The Yunnan Military Academy, a two-story, yellow-painted building in Westside, is one of China's top three military academies and the site of the Chinese Revolution. The Statue of Nie Er on Southwest Island, Fish-watching Tower, and Osmanthus Garden are places to explore the inner beauty after crossing the Nine-Bend Bridge.
