Donghu Park

Quanzhou's Donghu Park occupies the historical site of “Fragrant Lotuses of Donghu,” one of ancient Quanzhou's famed “Eight Great Scenic Spots.” As far back as the Tang Dynasty, this area boasted a lake sprawling over 40 qing (an ancient unit of area), graced by the Donghu Pavilion and the Er'gong Pavilion.

Donghu itself gained renown as it was a place frequented by illustrious Tang Dynasty literary figures such as Jiang Gongfu, Han Yu, and Ouyang Zhan.
