Located to the east of Chizhou city, Pingtian Lake covers a water area of some 11 square km, serving as a natural venue for water sports.

There is a pleasure-boat dock, various cafes, a small music square, shallows and a pavilion on the lake. The sports and entertainment activities include yachts, water walking balls, jetskis, water-skiing, canoes, row boats and pedalos. Wandering along the tree-lined path around the lake, visitors will enjoy the ease of mind engendered by green mountains and emerald waters, set off by the sprays left behind by the whizzing boats.
