East Lake has beautiful lakes and mountains and many places of interest. According to legend, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xiong Hong, the king of Hubei, once built a pond in East Lake to drink horses. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was an important place for Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao to carry out military and political activities. Today there are Liu Bei Suburban Tiantai, Wuzhu Temple, Cao Cao Temple, Zhuodao Spring, Lusu Mazhong and other ruins. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, ancient buildings such as Baotong Temple and Hongshan Pagoda Temple were built in Hongshan. After the Republic of China, with the rise of private gardens, some villas and villas appeared on the shores of East Lake. However, it was not until after liberation that the beautiful tourism resources of East Lake were developed on a large scale. In 1949, East Lake was renamed from the original Haiguang Farm to East Lake Park. In 1950, it was renamed again to East Lake Scenic Area to delineate the area of ??East Lake Scenic Area. At the same time, the scenic area was developed, with more than 40,000 meters of main roads built, more than 30,000 meters of lakeshores and slope protections, more than 70 pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions and various building facilities, and planting of French paulownia, camphor trees, pond cedars and metasequoias. There are more than 50 species of trees, cedars, etc., more than 2 million kumquats, tangerines and other fruit trees have been cultivated, more than 13,000 acres of barren hills have been greened, and nurseries and flower gardens have been built.
There are many varieties of flowers and trees in East Lake, which bloom all year round, among which spring orchid, summer lotus, autumn osmanthus and winter plum are the most famous. Comrade Zhu De loved orchids during his lifetime and encouraged and helped cultivate orchids in East Lake. There are two lotus ponds in the East Lake. On the right side of the gate, there are also many lotus flowers along the lake. There are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees in East Lake, with more than 1,000 in Moshan alone. There are sweet-scented osmanthus trees on both sides of the road from Binhu Gallery to Qu Yuan Memorial Hall. The plum grove in East Lake is about 100 acres, with more than 70 varieties, mainly distributed in Moshan Plum Garden and Oriole Bay Meiling. It is one of the main plum viewing resorts in my country.
East Lake is rich in a variety of freshwater fish, among which Wuchang fish is the most famous. Wuchang fish is a kind of bream. This fish is a specialty of Liangzi Lake in Echeng. In ancient times, Echeng was called Wuchang (now Wuchang was called Jiangxia in ancient times), so it is also called Wuchang fish.
The East Lake Scenic Area is divided into six tourist areas based on the natural environment, namely Tingtao Area, Moshan District, Luoyan Area, Baima Area, and Flute Area. If combined with the local places of interest, from the south along the lake they are: "Hongshan", "Hualin", "Tingtao", "Luoyan", "Baima", "Qinghe", "Chuidi", and "Moshan" , "Longquan", "Luojia" and other ten scenic spots.
Entering the gate of East Lake is Oriole Bay. Standing on the lawn of East Lake, looking at the water surface of East Lake for dozens of miles, I feel that my vision is wide and my heart is relaxed and happy. The water of the lake is clear, flat, green and bright; fish are playing in the water and birds are soaring on the lake; weeping willows and lotus ponds along the lake form a poetic and picturesque scenery.
Going northwest from Oriole Bay is Cuiliu Village. Here is Zepan Guesthouse, a small beige building built on a semicircular peninsula by the lake, facing water on three sides and hidden among green trees. To the north is the Wubao Pavilion, which is built on the mouth of a hill. It is a circular pavilion composed of four square pavilions and four semicircular pavilions. Because the pavilion is in the shape of a cloud, with cement pillars and a gray tile roof, when viewed from a distance, the pavilion looks like there is fog in the forest and the trees are in the clouds, hence the name "Mist Pavilion".

There are three words "Xingyin Pavilion" inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo hanging on the pavilion. There is a statue of Qu Yuan in front of the pavilion, which is 6.8 meters high. He looks up to the sky and is about to walk, as if he is "walking by the bank of Yin River", reciting "Heavenly Questions", which expresses the poet's concern for the country and the people. In 1979, Chairman Ye Jianying wrote a poem called "Xingyin on the Riverside".

It is to commemorate the nine women who were killed by the Qing government in the Taiping Rebellion. The villagers admired their righteousness and martyrdom and buried them together here.

Dong Biwu
Searching for liberation, he joined the Heavenly Army and became a heroic voice.

The jade is buried deep and I dare not tell it, and thousands of people are angry and want to return to heaven.
After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by Yuan and Jiang, the tomb had been lonely and deserted for hundreds of years.
The lakes and mountains are all beautiful, and there are lumps of earth and hills.
The masses pity heroic women the most, and word-of-mouth has spread throughout the ages.

Ode to the Plum Blossoms of East Lake
Guo Moruo
I once lived in East Lake, and I still yearn for it till the end.
I heard that there are dozens of plum blossoms, which are shaped like lions or elephants.
It is also like a monk worshiping, or a rabbit pounding jade frost.
The apes and cranes are different, and the unicorns and lobsters are hiding.
The Arhat is as drunk as mud, and the old man lives a long and prosperous life.
Children play with sika deer, minotaur, and mouse.
Thousands of miles apart, there is a strange fragrance in the air.
I regret that potted plants are too restrictive. Flowers should be hidden if they are wise.
In order to seek liberation, they should be planted all over the East Lake.
Planted all over the foothills of Luojia Mountain, planted all over the Yang of Liufa Ridge.
Let thousands of trees roar proudly together to welcome the spring of the world of great harmony.
