Xuanwu Lake is located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, with Purple Mountain in the east, Ming City Wall in the west, Nanjing Station in the north and Zhoushan in the south. It is the largest city park in Jiangnan, the largest royal garden lake in China and the only royal garden in Jiangnan. Known as the "Pearl of Jinling", also known as Houhu and Beihu.
The human history of Xuanwu Lake can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. In the Six Dynasties, the place where the emperor read the master of the navy was turned into a royal garden. There are royal palaces on the south bank, such as Hualin Garden and Leyuan Garden. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, the magistrate of Jiangning, abandoned the lake and returned it to the field, so Xuanwu Lake disappeared for more than 200 years.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Xuanwu Lake reappeared after two dredging. In the Ming Dynasty, it was set up as Houhu Huangshuguan, which was forbidden to the royal family. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Nanyang Persuasion Association was held, Fengrunmen (now Xuanwu Gate) was opened, and Xuanwu Lake became a tourist area. In the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), Xuanwu Lake was officially opened to the public as a park.
