Xuanwu Lake, located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, is adjacent to Zijin Mountain in the east, Ming City Wall in the west and Nanjing Station in the north. It is the largest city park in the south of the Yangtze River, the largest royal garden lake in China, and the only remaining royal garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Known as the "Pearl of Jinling", it is now a national key park and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Xuanwu Lake, known as Sangbo, Houhu and Beihu in ancient times, is one of the 48 scenic spots in Jinling. Xuanwu Lake has a human history of 2300 years, which can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. It was turned into a royal garden in the Six Dynasties, and was forbidden to the royal family in the Ming Dynasty. Until the Nanyang surrender meeting was held in the late Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Liangjiang ordered the opening of Fengrunmen (now Xuanwu Gate), which is the origin of Xuanwu Lake Park.

Xuanwu Lake is nearly five miles away from Fiona Fang and is divided into five continents (Zhou Huan, Yingzhou, Lingzhou, Liangzhou and Cuizhou). There are dikes and bridges between continents, and there are mountains and water everywhere. Ouyang Xiu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once wrote: "Jinling is more beautiful than Houhu; Qiantang is more beautiful than West Lake. Xuanwu Lake is a scenic garden and cultural resort. Scholars, poets, politicians and celebrities have all left their figures here, and they have all been passed down as beautiful talks by future generations.
