Introduction to East Lake: East Lake was originally called Dongjingtang, also known as Luyuntang, commonly known as Datang. It is said that before the Ming Dynasty, East Lake was composed of more than 20 lotus root ponds, large and small. There was a well on the jagged rocks in the middle, so it was named Dongjing. It later got its name because Su Dongpo, a famous poet from the Song Dynasty, left a stone inscription with the word "East Lake" on the mouth of the East Well when he visited Guigang. East Lake is known as the Pearl of Guigang and a holy lake praised by the people.
