Lake Tai, Protected freshwater lake in Jiangsu, China.
Lake Tai stretches across 2,250 square kilometers with an average depth of 2 meters, containing 90 islands of different sizes throughout its waters.
The formation of Lake Tai dates back over 70 million years, transforming from dry land into a freshwater lake during the Holocene period through East China Sea ingression.
The limestone formations from Dongting Mountain near Lake Tai remain essential elements in traditional Chinese gardens, particularly in the classical gardens of Suzhou.
The lake supplies drinking water to 30 million residents while supporting local fishing industries that produce silver fish, white fish, and white shrimp.
Yuantouzhu peninsula extends into Lake Tai with a shape that resembles a turtle head, offering visitors multiple vantage points to observe the water landscape.
