Revision as of 12:11, 18 November 2018 by Mr Spear (talk | changes) ("So that..." means "We did this because..." You really just mean "so..." "Dating back to the Qin Dynasty, and then the Six Dynasties as a royal garden" doesn't have a verb so it's not really a sentence.)

Xuanwu Lake is a lake in Xuanwu District in Nanjing, China. The lake's area is about 5.02 million square meters, so it is the largest imperial garden lake in China.

Dating back to the Qin family of rulers, Xuanwu Lake has a history of about 2,300 years. It was one of the emperor's gardens during the Six Dynasties part of China's history and again under the Ming rulers.

Local visitors and foreign tourists visit the Xuanwu Lake for its beautiful views. It is open from 6 AM to 9 PM.
