Rent a small boat and glide leisurely into East Lake, China’s largest urban lake. Its clear waters reflect the green of Mo Hill and the city skyline. Row vigorously to the center to feel the vastness, or follow winding waterways to discover hidden lotus ponds and cedar groves. As the setting sun turns the lake to gold, this moment of peace and poetry reveals why East Lake is the cherished green oasis in the heart of every Wuhan local.
