Which city does Honghu Lake in Hubei belong to?

Honghu Lake in Hubei belongs to Jingzhou City. Honghu Lake is the seventh largest freshwater lake in China, the largest lake in Hubei Province, and the only large freshwater lake in China with well-preserved ecosystem and water quality meeting the second-class standard. Known as the "kidney of Hubei". Judging from the hydrological characteristics, Honghu Lake has a tendency of water return. The surface runoff in the catchment area mainly enters the lake through the main canal of the four lakes, and communicates with the Yangtze River through several culverts to realize flood storage. Along the golden waterway of the Yangtze River in the southeast, there are four main canals flowing into the lake area in the northwest.

Honghu Lake has many functions such as water supply, irrigation, wetland biological habitat, aquaculture, shipping and tourism. Foreign experts call it "the main habitat of endangered species in the world". In 2008, it was listed as "an internationally important wetland" and a national nature reserve.

Honghu Lake is located at the southeast end of Jianghan Plain in the south-central part of Hubei Province, at the northern edge of the warm subtropical mid-latitude, with a typical humid monsoon climate in the north subtropical zone, showing the climatic characteristics of abundant heat energy, abundant precipitation and the same season of rain and heat.

The bottom of Honghu Lake is rich in aquatic plants all the year round, known as the underwater "prairie", with a historical area of 440,000 mu. Coupled with floating plants such as lotus, water chestnut, Euryale ferox and other aquatic plants, it has become a world where plants at all levels blend with water.
