Nanjing City, Jiangsu, China

22. Xuanwu Lake Park in 2004

This park is almost entirely covered by the waters of a large urban lake, but you can walk along causeways or take a boat out to its central forested islands. A long path goes around the shores of Xuanwu Lake, beside the old city walls for much of its length. However the park has an urban feel to it. You can enter Xuanwu Lake Park from the main gate off Zhongyang Lu. We enjoyed the walk.
