Taiping Lake (Peace Lake, Taiping Hu) is the largest man-made lake in Anhui province. Surrounded by mountains, the scenic area boasts beautiful waters, differently-shaped peninsulas, and stunning stones. Its advantageous location, good harmonious ecological environment, abundant products, and profound culture predict a prosperous future of tourism.
Taiping Lake is located at the southern foot of Mt. Huangshan and to the southeast of Mountain Jiuhuashan. It is only about 30 kms away from the north entrance of Mt. Huangshan. The Taiping Lake scenic area covers 275 square kilometers. It looks from the air like two dragons lying within the mountains.
In June of 2000, the provincial government determined to boost the province's economy by promoting tourism focusing on Mt. Huangshan, Mt. Jiuhua, and Taiping Lake. Since then, Taiping Lake has been as important as Mt. Huangshan and Mt. Jiuhua to the province's tourism and nicknamed as "loving mate of Mountain Huangshan.
