Mochou Lake is located to the west of Qinhuai River in Nanjing. Mochou Lake Park is a famous classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River, with a long history of 65,438+0,500 years and rich human resources. It was a scenic spot in the Six Dynasties. Mochou Lake has been committed to imitating Daming Lake in Jinan, the first lake in the world, and imitating Daming Lake archway to build the main entrance. Therefore, it has the reputation of "the first scene in Jinling" and "the first of 48 scenes in Jinling".

The existing area of the park is 58.36 hectares, including 32.36 hectares of water surface. The buildings, pavilions and pavilions in the park are patchwork, with weeping willows on the shore and begonia in the water. Hallows Building, Yu Jintang, Shuixie Building, Bao Yue Building and winding paths are secluded among rocks, pines, bamboos, flowers and trees. Mochou Lake was called Hengtang in ancient times, and named Shicheng Lake after Shicheng. According to legend, Mochow, a girl from Luoyang, married a rich man in Jiangdong and moved to Shicheng Lake in Nanjing during the Southern Qi Dynasty. Mochow is dignified, virtuous and helpful. Later generations renamed Shicheng Lake Mochou Lake in memory of her. Later, a 2-meter-high white marble statue was carved in the lotus pond of the Lotus Hall on the Yu Jintang side of her former residence, which has now become one of the landmark attractions in Nanjing.
