Fengxian boasts a "Fish of Shanghai"
Located in the Fengxian New City of Fengxian District, Jinhai Lake is a place that cannot be described with just one term of praise. It is a gathering place for numerous parks and a paradise for flowers, plants, and trees.
Under the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, Jinhai Lake forms a powerful magnetic field, exuding a unique and broad-minded charm that is incomparably warm and enchanting. Without the need for deliberate framing, any casual snapshot can capture a beautiful image.
Jinhai Lake, also known as the Fish of Shanghai, is an artificial lake composed of three main lake surfaces: the fish body, tail, and fins, covering an area of about 2.5 square kilometers. It is a modern creation, youthful and fashionable, with lakeside landscapes and culture born from the lake, which have already permeated the daily lives of the surrounding residents.
Ginkgo, camphor, magnolia, hackberry, and crape myrtle trees form the backbone of the greenery at Jinhai Lake, complemented by grasses and flowers that bloom in succession throughout the four seasons. Red as fire, pink as dawn, white as jade, viewed from above, the goldfish-shaped Jinhai Lake sparkles with blue ripples amidst swathes of greenery, creating a magnificent picture of blue and green intertwined.
Entering from Nianfeng Park, what captivates people the most is the lake of golden water, with its shimmering surface, rippling blue waves, fish swimming in the shallow depths, herons flying above the lake, ducks floating on the water, and a long lakeside path that offers views of lush trees interspersed with many modern statues, full of poetic imagery.
The lake water is clear, with aquatic plants growing freely along the shore and at the bottom, fish merrily frolicking and pecking for food, interpreting the meaning of "Fish of Shanghai" from a micro perspective.
The Fengxian Museum is the most renowned landmark building on the shore of Jinhai Lake, with a unique and majestic architectural style. Its artistic appearance embodies the beautiful Chinese traditional cultural imagery of 'pearls falling onto a jade plate'.
Additionally, there are more than a dozen attractions along the coast, including the Youth Art Park, Lake Heart Island Park, and the City Sculpture Art Park.
