Nanning's largest inner-city lake park, with a lakeside trail of about 8 km around the water—the city's living room. Highlights: the Famous Trees Expo Garden, the great lawn and the lakeside running track; mornings and evenings locals circle the lake exercising, and the palms and banyan shade along the shore show off the 'Green City' character. Nanhu Lake is an ancient oxbow lake of the Yong River, gradually shaped into its present form through repeated dredging. The lakeside night-running loop is fairly well known in China's running community—a window into everyday life in Nanning.
Getting there: Metro Line 1, Nanhu Station
