Located in the south of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, China, with the latitude of 29 58 ˊ N and the longitude of12014 ˊ E, it is the relic of Gu Jian Lake, a famous water conservancy project south of the Yangtze River in China. Commonly known as Changhu Lake, Huda Lake, clear lake, Yamingjing Lake and Hejian Lake. In the 5th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty (140), water from 36 sources in Mazhen South Yin Shan and Huiji counties in Huiji County was a lake with a total area of more than 200 square kilometers. The lake gradually silted up after the middle period of the lake building map in Tang Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Hao family built dikes and weirs on the lake, and the area of the lake was greatly reduced. Today's Hutang, Rongshan Lake, Lishi Lake and Baitayang are its remains. The lake is about 15 km long and covers an area of 3 square kilometers. Jianhu Lake has excellent water quality, and Shaoxing wine brewed with Jianhu water is famous at home and abroad. There are Ma Su's tomb, Luyou's hometown, Sanshan, Kuaige site and other historical sites by the lake.
In the 5th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 140), Ma Zhen, the magistrate of Huiji, built Gu Jian Lake, with an area of over 200.0km2 and a circumference of 179.0km. It took water from the river at the foot of Huiji Mountain and irrigated more than 9,000 hectares of farmland, benefiting the people to the depth. Later, due to forest destruction, serious soil erosion, disrepair of water conservancy, reclamation and looting by dignitaries, the lake was abandoned in the Southern Song Dynasty. The rest of Jianhu, starting from Tingshan in the east and reaching Hutang in the west, is about 23.0 km long, with an average width of 108m and a maximum width of more than 300 meters, which looks like a river. The lake covers an area of only 2.4 square kilometers with an average water depth of 2.77 meters. ..
Jianhu area is a typical scenery of Jiangnan water town. Bridges and dikes on the lake are connected, fishing boats appear from time to time, green hills are faint, and clear water is far away. Wang Xizhi's poems:
"Walking up a mountain road is like swimming in a mirror."

Jianhu Lake has clear water quality and is rich in calcium and trace element lithium, which is an excellent water source for brewing Shaoxing yellow rice wine. Shaoxing yellow wine brewed with it is fragrant and famous at home and abroad.
Shaoxing, where Jianhu Lake is located, is 60 square kilometers southeast of Hangzhou. It has a long history. It was the capital of the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period and was called "yuechi county". In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou fled to the south and stayed here temporarily. Taking the meaning of "Shaoxing", they changed Yuezhou to Shaoxing, hence the name.
Shaoxing has produced many celebrities. It is the hometown of Lu Xun and Premier Zhou Enlai. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, Xu Wei, a painter in the Ming Dynasty, and Qiu Jin, a female revolutionary in the late Qing Dynasty, all left footprints here.
