Hancheng Lake, Xi'an, China

Hancheng means Han City. The Hancheng Lake served as the channel for official water transportation during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). The project took tens of thousands of soldiers three years to complete. The channel is 93 miles (150 km) long and was played an integral role in transporting military supplies for Xi'an, which was known as Chang'an at the time.
Today there is a big pagoda you can climb up to see the view and old relics from the Han Dynasty., and a walk way that showcases the natural beauty of the canal an area with over priced carnival rides it was $15 US dollars a person for a Ferris Wheel ride or roller coaster ride.
