Xinglong Lake

#chinatravel We visited Xinglong Lake in Xi’an on a quiet afternoon and were struck by its peaceful, natural setting within the city. The lake is surrounded by gentle walking paths, lush greenery, and open spaces that invite relaxation and reflection. As we strolled along the shoreline, we enjoyed the calm water views and the occasional sight of local birds. The area felt well cared for but not overly commercialized, making it a perfect spot to escape the urban bustle without leaving the city. What we appreciated most was the balance between nature and public use. Xinglong Lake provides a green oasis where locals come to exercise, socialize, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The landscaping respects the natural environment, with native plants and minimal interference to wildlife habitats. It’s a refreshing example of how urban spaces can embrace sustainability and offer visitors a chance to connect with nature. We would highly recommend visiting Xinglong Lake for anyone seeking calm and greenery in Xi’an. #travel #china
