Huizhou West Lake

West Lake locates in the downtown area is stunningly beautiful making it an important tourist spot in this region. The park area covers an area of about 3.2 square kilometres and its famous connecting five lakes cover an area of 1.4 square kilometres.

It consists of five lakes, six adjoining bridges and ten particular spots to look out for. The site that most head for is Huizhou's oldest building, the Sizhou Pagoda. Built during the Tang Dynasty, this octagonal pagoda, consisting of 7 floors, was destroyed in 1564 and rebuilt in 1618.

West Lake also provides a sanctuary for many different types of bird which nest on the many islets on it so take a pair of binoculars to get close up to the action.

Six uniquely designed bridges, ten scenic spots, beautiful flowers, cascading willows and ancient surrounding pagodas, make it an inspirational and heavenly spot to visit.
