It is a key university established for Henan Province and the Emergency Management Department. Xinyue Lake is located in the campus of Henan Polytechnic University and was completed in 2003. It is an artificial lake and the main part of the planned water system in the south campus of Henan Polytechnic University.
The lake is circular, with a width of 70 meters, a narrow point of 10 meter and a radius of about 100 meter. The deepest part of the lake is nearly 2.5 meters.
