East Lake is small, but it's covered by a dense fog. This gives the lake a mystical feeling. The popular children's television series "Journey to the West (1982 version)" was filmed here. The lake used to be a quarry. The two sides of the strait are the steep cliffs left by the quarry. The mountain springs which washed out the quarry has left in its place an array of beautiful colors. There are also many caves, some of which are so narrow that they can only accommodate a single boat. Many visitors choose to travel the lake by boat.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Vlad the Traveler: Probably my favourite park/lake in Shaoxing. While much less famous then its's Hangzhou counterpart and not even being the most famous scenic place in Shaoxing, I find it the most charming and pictoresque one. If you climb the hill by the lake you can enjoy the view as well as pluck some fresh tea leaves. The lake(looking more like a canal) is really pretty and has some really nice and impressive cliffs by its side. There is also a stage where Yue opera is sometimes performed.
