Wanlyu Lake, also known as Xinfengjiang Reservoir, is the largest artificial lake in southern China. It is located in Dongyuan county, Heyuan city, Guangdong Province. Built in 1958, the lake covers a water area of 370 square kilometers and has a water storage capacity of about 13.9 billion cubic meters.  The lake earned its name, meaning "evergreen," from the surrounding environment and from the water which remains clear all year.
