The Yanming Lake Scenic Area was once a sand sink for the Yellow River Diversion Project. After the completion of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir, the irrigation and sedimentation functions of Yanming Lake gradually declined, and wetland lakes gradually formed due to sedimentation in the lowlands. The large area of ??reed growth attracted wild geese to inhabit it, and it was later named Yanming Lake. It is the largest body of water and wetland in eastern Zhengzhou. The entire lake area consists of East Lake, Middle Lake and West Lake.

The Battle of Guandu was one of the three major battles in Chinese history in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the famous battles in Chinese history. During the reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the fifth year of Jian'an, a strategic decisive battle took place between Cao and Yuan in Guandu (now northeast of Zhongmou, Henan). Cao Cao suddenly attacked Yuan Jun's granary of Xiahou in Wuchao (now Fengqiuxi, Henan), and then defeated Yuan Jun's main force.

This war laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify northern China.

The Battle of Guandu took place in the Eastern Han'an (200), the fifth year of Jian'an. At that time, Yuan Shao led an army of 100,000 troops to go south, while Cao Cao led an army of 20,000 troops and refused to go to Guandu. That spring, Cao Cao took advantage of Yuan Shao's arrogance and underestimation. During the internal discord, he attacked Yuan Shao Xiahou twice in the rear, burned his grain trenches, and cut off his grain routes. As a result, Yuan Shao's army was shaken and his people were distracted. Cao Cao attacked from all sides and eliminated Yuan Jun's main force, laying the foundation for unifying the north. This is one of the famous battles in the history of our country. The weak defeated the strong and the small defeated the large. The battlefield of that war also became the famous Guandu Ancient Battlefield.
