The lake was first built in the Southern Song Dynasty, through the Ming and Qing Dynasties hundreds of years of development, and gradually formed a set of natural scenery and cultural heritage in one of the city's core landscape. Mirror Lake is a wide open lake with blue waves, surrounded by Ochre Mountain and Mattang River, forming a unique pattern of "half city mountain, half city water". The ruins of Guangji Temple and Hui-style ancient buildings are scattered around the lake, and Li Bai, Huang Tingjian and other literati have left their poems here, giving it a deep cultural heritage. Nowadays, Mirror Lake is not only a "city living room" for Wuhu citizens to walk around, fitness and recreation, but also an important window to show the flavor of Jiangnan water town and historical inheritance, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore the Anhui style and Hui charm.
