Introduction & Highlights

New Huanhu South Road provides beautiful waterside views, as it winds around the south shore of Dianchi Lake. The route starts at Taishi Village in Jinning District and finishes at the Gaohai Highway. Its total length is 11.783 kilometres and has four lanes. Equipped with motor vehicle lanes, cycle paths and walking trails, it forms a wonderful, colourful landscape.

Walking across the bridge, you will be dazzled by stunning scenery all the way. Pausing by a railing, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Dianchi Lake, stretching off into the distance.

Close to Dianchi Lake, overlooking the West Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is a romantic sanctuary for watching sunrise and sunset. Crossing Huanhu South Road is like walking into a fairyland.

Equipped with the cycling and walking paths, Huanhu South Road is perfectly designed for locals and tourists to take in the scenery.

Walking across the water, it is like a landscape gallery, with amazing surroundings all the way. Looking out from the railing, the beautiful scenery of the Dianchi Lake is unobstructed.

The Ancient City No. 1 bridge is a two-way, four-lane road, also incorporating special facilities for walkers and cyclists. You can stop at this road to snap some photos. To allow visitors to enjoy close-up views of Dianchi Lake, a 300-metre parking area has been specially created here.

Driving on the Huanhu South Road by car, you will see the Dianchi Lake rippling, and the green hills shaded by green trees.

The south bank of Dianchi Lake has always been the area with the best water quality in the lake. The combination of good water and a great road provide a unique experience.

Watching the moment when the sun rises slowly, the glimmer of light appears on the calm lake, the breeze is gentle, and the seagulls are flying. It is quite a way to start the day!

The South Huanhu Road is connected to Dongdahe Wetland, Nansha Wetland, Jinning Ancient Kingdom, Zhenghe Park and scenic spot, Laotangzui, Hushan, Wanziwan nature scenery, Taishi Village, Dianxin Village and Xiafang Ancient Town fishing village. Together, it forms the most beautiful landscape around Dianchi Lake.

Whether you are walking, cycling or driving, using any method of transportation, it is an memorable experience to witness the beauty of Dianchi from the road.
