A Pearl on Taihu Lake—The Moon Bay Scenic Area of South Taihu in Huzhou

Taihu Lake is located on the southern edge of the Yangtze River Delta and is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. Taihu Lake in Huzhou, Zhejiang, is also known as South Taihu. Walking around South Taihu, the Moon Bay Scenic Area is the most beautiful spot. Here, the golden lakeshore is clear, the water surface is wide, and various modern buildings, beautiful landscape belts, and unique waterfront platforms are scattered in an orderly manner, blending seamlessly with the visitors. In the South Taihu Moon Bay Scenic Area, the most iconic building is the Moon Hotel, officially known as the 'Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort.' Half of it is built on the lakeshore, and the other half is built in the lake. Netizens colloquially call it the 'toilet lid,' and it is most beautiful at night. The Moon Square in front of it is also very imposing, and the nearby Fisherman's Wharf is even more beautiful. Not only can you take an ecological landscape boat to enjoy the most beautiful waters of Taihu Lake, but the area also often hosts events such as sailing races and Taihu Lake road cycling races, combining cultural tourism, sports, and leisure functions in one. It serves as a model area for the local characteristic industry landscape.
