13. Wanshi Lake in Xiamen

We have strolled along this lake several times with our students. It is a pleasant place to visit. There is a very extensive Bonsai garden here, well worth the visit.

Located on the north Lion Hill of southeast Xiamen urban district, Wanshi Botanical Garden is a unique combination of park and botanical garden. With historic remains scattering about, this place became a scenic spot for tourists since ancient time. Xue Qifeng, a famous scholar of early Qing Dynasty, praised it in one of his poems like this---"Hills and rocks combine all the views and the garden has been claiming unparalleled wonder through the ages."
