Liuye Lake is located in the northeast of Changde. This area is ideal for recreation, healthcare and aquatic sports.
Covering 21.8 square kilometers, Liuye Lake, named after its shape that resembles a willow leaf, is the largest lake within a city's downtown area in China.
Nestled among the mountains, the lake glitters like a giant diamond when the sun shines.
Islets on the lake are covered with luxuriant plants. Seen from afar, they look like emeralds embedded on a giant hairpin some goddess might have dropped.
The surrounding mountains add to the charm of the lake. To its north is Baihe Mountain, a long-time habitat of white cranes.
From May to September each year, thousands of cranes and egrets feed, nest, mate and raise their young around the lake, making it a world of birds.
