GLOBALink | Green transformation of the largest artificial lake in SW China

CHONGQING, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Located in Changshou District of southwest China's Chongqing, Changshou Lake is the largest artificial lake in southwest China, and is rich in natural resources.

Over 20 years ago, Changshou Lake witnessed a sharp deterioration of ecology due to disordered aquaculture breeding. Nowadays, the lake has taken on a new look thanks to efforts of ecological restoration.

Utilizing its ecological advantages, tourism facilities such as a lakeside sports park, a cycling track around the lake, a camping and fishing area, and a water sports base have been built here, prospering the local economy.
