Guigang East Lake

Guigang East Lake

Donghu was formerly known as dongjingtang, also known as luyuntang, commonly known as Datang. It is said that before the Ming Dynasty, the East Lake was made up of more than 20 lotus root ponds. There was a well on the jagged rocks in the middle, so it was named Dongjing. Later, it got its name because Su Dongpo, a famous poet of Song Dynasty, inscribed the word "East Lake" on the East wellhead when he visited Guigang. East Lake, known as the Pearl of Guigang, is a holy lake praised by the people.

The prosperity and decline of the park rose and fell due to the changes of social situation. The name of Donghu Park changed from Zhongshan Park, Dakai Park, people's Park to Donghu park. East Lake Park was built in 1930. East Lake is an open scenic spot. East Lake scenic area covers an area of more than 740 mu, with a water area of more than 680 mu.
