The lake in Guangdong known as the 'most successful' name change, became world-famous after the renaming!

Mentioning reservoirs, or the tourist impressions associated with them, most friends might think of the Three Gorges Reservoir, Danjiangkou Reservoir, Qiandao Lake, and so on. Yes, these places are not only reservoirs but also famous tourist attractions in China. Hence, they enjoy very high popularity and recognition. However, in China, there are also some reservoirs with beautiful scenery, suitable for walking with children, taking photos, and checking in. Today, let's walk into Wanlv Lake, located at No. 17 Gangzhong Road, Xingang Town, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, and see what different scenery it has to offer. Before its renaming, Wanlv Lake was known as the Xinfengjiang Reservoir, and it became world-famous after the name change. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that after the renaming, Wanlv Lake, along with Xishuangbanna and Dinghushan, is referred to as one of the 'Three Wonders' on the 'Desert Belt' of the Tropic of Cancer, and is praised as 'Heavenly Yaochi Water, Earthly Wanlv Lake.' Therefore, it is known as the lake with the 'most successful' name change in Guangdong. Wanlv Lake is the largest lake in South China, named for its ubiquitous greenery and year-round verdure. It is an important source of drinking water for more than 40 million people in Guangdong and Hong Kong, and the water quality has consistently met the national surface water Class I standard.

Wanlv Lake in Heyuan, Guangdong, a National 5A Scenic Spot

Wanlv Lake in Heyuan, Guangdong, a National 5A Scenic Spot: Today, I visited the famous 5A scenic spot Wanlv Lake in Heyuan. The area is really vast; after walking for 3 hours, I only finished touring the Jinghuayuan area from the comprehensive service area. Looking at the map, I realized that there are still 3 islands I haven't visited, which are Wanlv Lake Wanlv Valley Resort, Wanlv Lake Longfeng Island Tourist Area, and Wanlv Lake Shuiyue Bay Tourist Area (the map is at the end, you can check it out yourself, haha). Apart from Jinghuayuan and Wanlv Valley which are accessible by bridges, the other areas require a boat to reach. Entry to the Wanlv Lake comprehensive service area is free of charge, but tickets are needed to enter the separate tourist areas of Wanlv Lake, such as the Jinghuayuan area. The full ticket price is 30 yuan per person. After entering the turnstile, there are sightseeing electric cars available for 10 yuan per person. It takes at least half an hour to walk into the Jinghuayuan play area. Along the way, there is a lakeside forest path, and the lake water is really beautifully blue and green. The main attractions in the Jinghuayuan tourist area include the Happy Paradise (which is an amusement park), the High-altitude Speed Drop (which is a high-altitude cableway), and the Daughter's Kingdom (which is a performance stage area). The performances are interesting and worth watching.
