Swan Lake is a flagship urban park in Hefei, the capital of east China's Anhui Province. It derives its name from its distinctive shoreline shaped like a swan's wing. Here, shimmering waters reflect the surrounding lush greenery and city skyline, creating a tranquil yet vibrant public space where ecological vitality harmonizes with culture and contemporary life.

The city of Hefei, historically known as Luzhou, carries a cultural legacy that spans millennia. It has long been a center of the Jianghuai cultural belt – home to the legendary incorruptible official Bao Zheng and local traditions such as Lu Opera and Chaohu folk songs.
