Fairy Lake
Fairy Lake is an artificial lake created in 1964 by damming the Yuan River at Jiangkou, and it belongs to the national list of key scenic areas. Its name was taken in 1994 from the tale of a weaver girl recorded in the fourth-century Soushen Ji, and it came into official use the following year. The scenic area divides into three parts: a eastern lake of bays and islands, a central gorge at Zhongshan, and higher country beyond.
