Swan Lake, Hefei's flagship urban park, is named for its graceful, swan-wing-shaped shoreline. Nestled within the bustling city, it presents a special view of shimmering waters and lush greenery, creating a vibrant public space where ecology, culture and contemporary life converge.

The city of Hefei, known historically as Luzhou, carries a cultural lineage stretching back over millennia. Hefei has long been a center of the Jianghuai cultural belt and nurtured the local traditions such as Lu Opera and Chaohu folk songs. This deep-rooted heritage forms the very soul of the city, which is now stepping into the national spotlight as one of the sub-venues of China Media Group (CMG)'s 2026 Spring Festival Gala.
