Brief introduction of Xiaobeihu Park in Jining

Located six kilometers south of Jining City, Shandong Province, China, Xiaobei Lake was originally the largest freshwater lake in northern China, the northern end of Nansi Lake. In order to develop aquaculture, it was built in 1973, hence the name, with a total area of 18000 mu, of which the water surface 16000 mu. Together with East Lake, West Lake and South Lake, it is called "Four Great Lakes of China". Geographical overview Xiaobei Lake is adjacent to the ancient canal in the east and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the west, forming a trend of "two rivers around the lake". Xiaobeihu is a pearl embedded in Jining and a unique golden triangle. After more than ten years' development and operation, it integrates tourism and aquaculture and has begun to take shape. Xiaobei Lake is rich in resources, with abundant sunshine, rippling blue waves, abundant grass and fish jumping, lotus flowers in full bloom, beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. The lake is rich in Wuchang fish, carp, mandarin fish, four-nosed carp, soft-shelled turtle, shrimp, hairy crabs and so on.
