The lake got this name because of the abundant magnetic material around it.

Like a watery, luminescent pearl, Cihu Lake is embedded in the center of Huangshi city. The lake covers an area of 3.9 square miles, and is much larger than the famous West Lake.

"Ci" means magnet. The lake got this name because of the abundant magnetic material around it.

Cihu Lake is the pride of Huangshi People, due to its picturesque landscape. In the pristine clear lake, fish swim delightedly in the water, where small islets dot in the lake, adding radiance to its already natural beauty.

Next to the lake, there are dainty gardens along with a stele forest which houses the scripts of many famous writers from home and abroad.

The famous tourist landscapes include Yiqu Garden, Yequ Garden, Chengyue Islet and Hangzhou Road.

Cihu bears witness to the glory and history of Huangshi city. Together with the nearby Yangtze River, the chains of mountains and the modern buildings, it is a grand environmental resource, adding to the wealth of the Huangshi People.
