Top 6: Dongting Lake
Located in northern Hunan province, Dongting Lake is the second largest fresh water lake in China, which is usually praised as "the picturesque Dongting Lake with 400 kilometer span". The lakeside Yueyang Tower is one of the four famous Chinese towers.
There is an island located right in the lake named Junshan where, or so legend has it, two wives of the ancient Shun Di Emperor, Ehuang and Nuying, died to become goddesses of the Xiangjiang River after searching thousands of miles for their husband.
The vast lake, the famous tower, the mysterious island and the legend, all these have made the lake a popular site throughout the decades.
Admission: Free
