Hanshan Lake

Hanshan Lake, named after Hanshanzi once roamed here, is 32 kilometers east of Tiantai County. The area of the scenic spot is 8.9 square kilometers, and the lake surface is 9,600 mu, which is 6 times that of the West Lake. There are 37 harbors and 9 islands with picturesque scenery. It is a rare large-scale water activity area in Tiantai Mountain Scenic Spot. The lake is rippling with blue waves and the mountains are like daisies. The mountains, rivers and waters here are inhabited by a variety of migratory birds under the international joint protection and rare birds and animals under the national first-class protection. The mountains and waters here are blue and green in four seasons, and you can go boating on the lake. The mountains are surrounded by water, sparkling and the scenery is infinite. The main buildings in the lake area are dams, water transmission and power generation tunnels and power stations. The double-curved arch dam is 74.3 meters high and 266 meters long. Whenever the water is released, eight silver dragons descend from the sky, thundering and snowing, which is extremely spectacular. The mountains around the lake are ups and downs, the bamboos are lush, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant. Lufeng on the north bank is named after the high road Ge Xuan planted reeds here at the end of the Han Dynasty. There is a stalagmite on the Shimen Ridge on the south bank. It has been struck by lightning and is called "Tian Dayan".
