You must have never seen this breathtaking scenery

There is a niche Xiangan Pond in Jiashan, only an hour's drive from Shanghai, but not many people have heard of it, and even fewer have visited. But this is definitely a great place to avoid the peak of the long holiday, enjoy the scenery and relax. Xiangan Pond is divided into south, north, and middle parts, with a total area of more than 5,000 acres, making it one of the largest lakes in Jiashan. It is connected to the water area of Xitang Ancient Town four kilometers away and the waterway from Huzhou to Shanghai. Xiangan Pond has shallow water and large beaches, with special products such as Zhu Ding shrimp, chirping water birds, and aquatic plants such as lotus and reeds in the lake. Every autumn, the lakeside is red and green, showing auspicious colors, hence the name Xiangan Pond. Xiangan Pond has excellent water quality, clear and bottom-visible, and a good ecological environment. A water-friendly plank road has been built along the lake, a large lawn has been laid on the lake embankment, and wild plants such as reeds and gao are growing on the shore. Here you can fully enjoy the beauty and wildness brought by the natural ecology. In the past, Xiangan Pond had high winds and waves, often causing boats to capsize. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the joint support of local scholars, county officials, and businessmen, a dam was built to divide Xiangan Pond into two parts, south and north, and it was rebuilt in 1982. Today's visitors can see the 'Xiangan Stone Dam' stele erected at that time on the new dam, which records the history. 🚉Travel strategy: To visit Xiangan Pond, you can choose Xiangan Pond Science and Technology Green Valley as your destination by self-driving, and there is a parking lot on the west side of Science and Technology Green Valley. 🌟Play: Fitness walking: A long pedestrian walkway has been built around Xiangan Pond, which is also part of the Zhejiang Walkway, so you can enjoy the scenery while keeping fit. Leisure and entertainment: A large lawn has been laid on the Xiangan Pond stone dam, where you can set up tents, chat, read books, drink coffee, and enjoy leisure time.
