Answer 1

洞庭湖
Dongting Lake,or Lake Dongting (simplified Chinese:洞庭湖; pinyin:Dòngtíng Hú; Wade-Giles:Tung-t'ing Hu) is a large,shallow lake in northeastern Hunan Province of China.It is a flood-basin of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang); hence the lake's size depends on the season.The provinces of Hubei and Hunan are named after their location relative to the lake:Hubei means "North of the Lake" and Hunan means "South of the Lake" in Chinese.
Dongting Lake is famous in Chinese culture as the place of origin of Dragon boat racing.It is the site of Junshan island,and is a home to the Finless Porpoise,which is endangered in China.
岳阳楼
Yueyang Tower (simplified Chinese:岳阳楼; traditional Chinese:岳阳楼; pinyin:Yuèyáng Lóu) is an ancient Chinese tower in Yueyang,Hunan Province,on the shore of Lake Dongting.Alongside the Pavilion of Prince Teng and Yellow Crane Tower,it is one of the Three Great Towers of Jiangnan.
History
The history of Yueyang Tower dates from the Three Kingdoms Period,when Lu Su,commander in chief of the forces of Wu,was sent to the area to fortify it and train the fleet there.To ease the inspection and command of ships he constructed a tower near the strategic location where Lake Dongting joins the Yangtze River,from which the whole of Lake Dongting was visible.This inspection tower,then called the Ba Ling Tower after the nearby city of Ba Ling,was the first incarnation of Yueyang Tower.
