Tianjinghu Park, Tongling City

In 1972, Tianjinghu Park officially opened. The park is divided into East Lake, South Lake, and North Lake by Dike Mountain. The three lakes are connected, and there is a well in the lake that is said to connect the sky and the sea, hence the name Tianjing (Sky Well). The lake is named after the well, and the park is named after the lake.
