Yuhuan Lake is a large reservoir in Yuhuan, Zhejiang, formed by the Xuanmen Phase II freshwater storage reclamation project. Its catchment covers 150 square kilometres and the water is brackish. Three river systems, the Jiuyan, Sisigang and Chumen rivers, link the lake with the Chumen-Qinggang area. Since 2016 a lakeside landscape belt has been built in two phases, the first covering 60 hectares.
