About Wanlü Lake

The broad reservoir and green shores form a landscape very different from the nearby urban centre. Its water-supply role is an important part of the setting, so the attraction should not be treated as an unrestricted swimming area.

A shoreline visit gives a sense of the reservoir’s scale, while a permitted boat excursion can reveal more of its branching water and wooded edges. Choose the actual departure point before travelling, since the lake extends over a large area. The attraction name alone does not identify a single beach, pier or route.

What to look for

  • The reservoir’s broad water surface is framed by green shoreline slopes.
  • Views from the visitor shore and an authorised boat route show different parts of the lake landscape.

Location & getting there

Getting to Wanlü Lake

The visitor listing gives 17 Gangzhong Road, Xingang Town, Dongyuan County, as the arrival address. Use the Xingang visitor area for the final road transfer from Heyuan, then confirm the actual departure pier if joining a boat trip.

General visit reminders

Allow room for the terrain and weather when choosing your route. Check the operator’s current trail, shuttle and cableway notices where applicable, and confirm the return connection before setting out. A broad landscape pin does not identify every trailhead or access point.

Suggested order for the visit:
