Mingyuan Lake

Mingyuan Lake is a picturesque location in the heart of Chengdu, offering a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. An artificial lake surrounded by beautiful gardens and historic teahouses creates the perfect backdrop for relaxing and observing local life.

Here you can rent a boat and admire locals practicing tai chi, calligraphy or playing chess. A special attraction is the century-old Heming tea house, where you can get a taste of traditional Chinese tea-drinking culture.

The lake, part of a park established in 1911, combines historical value with the daily life of Chengdu residents.
