Introduction of Huai 'an Baima Lake Scenic Area

Huai 'an Baima Lake, called Malay Lake in ancient times, is located at the junction of Huai 'an City and Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province. It is a water system lake on the left bank of the lower reaches of Huaihe River, and looks like an unruly white horse.

Huai 'an Baima Lake covers an area of 1 13.4 square kilometers, located in the lower reaches of Huaihe River Basin, on the southeast edge of Huai 'an City, about 30 kilometers away from the main urban area of Huai 'an. The area where Baima Lake is located belongs to the north subtropical humid monsoon climate zone, which has the characteristics of distinct seasons, abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall and short frost period.

There are ninety-nine small islands on Baima Lake, nicknamed ninety-nine piers. Ninety-nine piers seem to be connected together. Whether they are broken or not, they look like fish from a distance and like mountains from a distance. Smoke billowed on the island and reeds swayed, like a picture of a peaceful water town. If you go to the island for a day to live a fisherman's life, fish with fishermen, catch shrimps in cages, pick water chestnuts and chicken heads, listen to fishermen's songs, watch fishermen's dances and have a hot fisherman's meal, it will be very interesting.

Historical evolution of Baima Lake

Baima Lake has always been the main waterway connecting north and south. In 486 BC, when Fu Cha, the king of Wu, levied, he asked migrant workers to dig a ditch to connect the Yangtze River with the Huaihe River. Baima Lake is a part of Gudaogou.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Deng was the magistrate of Guangling. For military needs, he also organized migrant workers to dig a Malay ditch between Tianjin Lake (Jieshou Lake) and Baima Lake, so that Tianjin Lake can reach Baima Lake directly. It was Hangou West Road.

In the fifth year of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 194), the Yellow River and Nanhe River gradually became lakes after emigration. In the fifth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1855), the Yellow River moved north, and the incoming water from Huaihe River no longer bet on the separation of Baima Lake into the sea, and the water level of Baima Lake gradually stabilized. 1957, Baima Lake was separated from baoying lake by embankment.
