Wanlu Lake

The Wanlu Lake is located in the Dongyuan county, Heyuan city, Guangdong province. Its beautiful name—Wanlu comes from its evergreen environment all year around; however it is “the beautiful water” that is magnificent, pure, elegant, quiet and nice that makes it rare and well-known in China. And the new Feng river national forest park and Heyuan Xingang provincial Nature Preserve are recognized as “ one of the three miracles of the desert belt” on the north tropic on the earth. The lake area, covering a water and land area of 370 square kilometers, Green mountains of 1100 square kilometers, and 360 green islands, emerges an attractive picture setting against the backdrop of the blue sky, white cloud, rosy clouds of dawn and the setting sun. Seeing the folded ridges and peaks, splashing waterfalls and waves, listening to the soughing of wind in pines beating against seashore, appreciating the singing of birds and cicadas, enjoying the purity and quietness of the nature , you can find that Wanlu lake has presented you an illusion of human paradise and a ideal paradise of a return to nature. It is said in the classic novel “Jinghuayuan” that the flower fairy was born in a Tang family in Heyuan County.
