The Kaifeng Lake is an ideal place for motorboat sports
The water area of Hanfeng Lake in Kaizhou district is 15 square kilometers. The water area is quite wide and open, with a depth of more than 3 meters. The environment around is beautiful, and there is no large ship coming across. It is an ideal place for all kinds of water sports. Not only motorboats played a major role in the competition, but water sports such as paddle board, water skiing, kayaking, row boats, and dragon boats were also launched in Hanfeng Lake this time. Taking the grand event as the starting point, a water sports base with motorboat sports as the main attraction has been set in the Hanfeng Lake area. It helps to promote the development of sports tourism in Hanfeng Lake and help Hanfeng Lake to create a national 5A-class tourist attraction.
