History of Lake Naodong According to a book written in 1930 and copied from earlier Gunshan writings, Jingdong was once a flooded area. Four hermits who came down from the north drained the flooded area, and after 7 years and 7 months, only a small lake remained. As the water receded, Hermit Tonga built a pagoda on top of Swam Tong. The small lake and town took the name of Hermit Tonga and became Naodong Lake and Jingdong Town. Saopha Management and Traditions Earlier, the pothole area was a huge canyon, canyon or ravine, submerged in water and surrounded by three hills. The town was founded after the hermits built the pagoda. When the hermits drained the water, the submerged land became fertile, and people came to settle here. Later it became a town managed by Saophas. Due to the region's pleasant climate and fertile soil, the town was enclosed by a 4-mile 1 furlong wall with 12 gates and a moat to protect it from invaders. It has become a tradition for the new Saopha to be crowned in the town. The town was owned by hermits, but it has become a tradition to transfer the town's administrative affairs from the hermits/monks to the Saophas, a tradition that has been carried on by the subsequent Saophas. Lake Naodong today Naodong Lake has become a famous place in Jingdong. Existing since the town's founding, it has become a landmark of the town. Not only is it a famous local landmark, but it is also well known to the surrounding countries and has become a landmark for international tourists. Today, Naodong Lake has a water inlet and outlet system, and there are iron fences on the lakeshore. There are two loops around the lake, one for vehicles and one for pedestrians. The two roads are filled with trees and flowers. Benches have also been placed for pedestrians to rest. Around the vehicle loop are food stalls, restaurants, hotels and houses selling local delicacies. There is also a physical exercise area with fitness and exercise equipment installed. The western part of the lake is considered the best viewing point. From there, you can see the standing Buddha statue in the southwest of the lake. Looking to the south of the lake, you can see Swam Mon Mountain with a tall Kanyin Phyu tree. In the evening, the fountain in the middle of the lake is lit up with colorful lights. A place to love and cherish Naodong Lake is a place loved and cherished by the locals. It is also a place that remains in the memory of tourists. Locals say that tourists who once walked around the lake would be so attracted or attached to it that they would come back again. Lake Naodong is packed with walkers, joggers, families, children, picnickers and tourists in groups in the morning and afternoon. At sunset and dusk, Lake Naodong becomes a painting, and the artists visualize the images in their minds.
