Choose a sunny day to see the beautiful "orange sea" in Zhengzhou.

Zhengzhou is a city that is both ancient and young. If the old city around Erqi Square is the A-side of Zhengzhou, then the Zhengdong New District where Beilong Lake is located is the B-side of Zhengzhou. Beilong Lake in Zhengdong New District has a super healing lakeside trail, which is not only a good place to watch the sunset, but also a place to look at the Big Corn from afar!

🫧The Nine Marshes of the World
Surprisingly, Longhu Lake is not a newly built artificial lake. Its history can be traced back to ancient times. This wetland belongs to Putianze, one of the "Nine Marshes of the World" in the pre-Qin period. The Book of Songs describes it as "There are vines in the wild, and the dew is dripping. There is a beautiful person, with a clear and gentle demeanor."

🌊See the sea in Zhengzhou
When the weather is fine, the lake water in the direction of the light is clear and dreamy blue, and the blue lake extends to the end of the line of sight, as if you have traveled to a seaside city in an instant. For an inland city like Zhengzhou, such a scenic spot makes up for the lack of sea views; no wonder netizens say that this is the "sea" that belongs to the people of Zhengzhou.

📷Landmark location
From here, you can look across the lake at the skyscrapers on the other side of the financial island, and the most eye-catching is the Big Corn behind the overpass.
Navigate to "West Commercial Park", and you can easily take a panoramic view of the Big Corn by standing by the lake. The angle is interesting, and it is even better if you can wait for the night view to light up.

🌄Sunset spot
There are many trestle bridges by the lake, connecting the road and the lake, which can extend to the depths of the lake. Every time the sun sets, the twilight dyes the entire lake into an "orange sea", which is unexpectedly beautiful! Now it has become a popular outdoor location for wedding photography studios in Zhengzhou.

☕️Others
There are several cafes and tea rooms along the lake where you can rest. When the weather is nice, it is so pleasant to sit outdoors and enjoy afternoon tea while enjoying the lake view! We went to Waku Coffee near the Cultural Exchange Center, where there is a wooden trestle extending into the lake.
