Cuihu is the eye of Kunming

Kunming Cuihu Park. Cuihu Park is located at the foot of Luofeng Mountain in Kunming city, at the west foot of Wuhua Mountain, opposite the main gate of Yunnan University, formerly known as Cai Haizi. This place was originally a bay in Dianchi Lake, but later became a clear lake due to the drop in water level. Cuihu's water is sparkling, the trees are shaded, the building is in the heart of the wave, the environment is beautiful, it is a green gem in Kunming city. It enjoys the reputation of the jade in the city. Before the Yuan Dynasty, the water level of Dianchi Lake was high, and this place was still a small lake bay outside the city, with many rice fields, vegetable gardens, and lotus ponds, so it was called 'Cai Haizi'. Because there are nine springs in the northeast, they converge into a pool, also known as 'Jiulong Pool'. In the early years of the Republic of China, it was converted into a garden, with willow trees planted all over the garden, and lotus flowers planted in the lake, hence the beautiful name 'Cuihu'.
