Xi'an, Shaanxi | Kunming Pool | A Sanctuary of Love
🦋Attraction Introduction
Kunming Pool, covering a total area of 3.32 square kilometers, was first built in the third year of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty's Yuan Shuo period (120 BC). Initially constructed for naval training, it later became a place for boating and leisure. During the Tang Dynasty, it dried up and became land. On both sides of Kunming Pool, there are a pair of stone sculptures of figures. There were also artificial islands built, such as Yuzhang Terrace and Lingbo Hall, and a stone whale was carved in the pool, which housed the large Yuzhang ship. The pool covers an area of 332 hectares and has a storage capacity of about 50 million cubic meters.
