The lake is said to have been the military base of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280). On the island in the central lake was once located General Zhou Yu's training platform. Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), started to build a pavilion on the platform during his commission period in Jiujiang and it was named 'Jinyue Pavilion'. By the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), a 'Yanshui Pavilion' was added to it. Though both were destroyed in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), groups of buildings were erected continuously in later days. Still called Yanshui Pavilion, the whole construction is comprised of many halls, pavilions, kiosks and doorways. Strolling in between the buildings, visitors experience their exquisiteness and elegance. There is a bridge connecting the island and the bank.<BR><BR> Bold Italic (Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history.)
