I don't know. The photos were taken back in 2019 and we were there at the lake for just a few hours.
If you have a place in mind just post it :-)

There are so many fountains in China... and often photos are night light shows so can't really see the base and determine yes / no
-
Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, P. R. China?
-
Does the manufacturer, with no info where their particular fountains are installed, count?

China, as in many parts of Germany, does not have Google street view to help carry out researching suspected locations - and there are many lakes in the surrounding provinces. I had a quick look but gave it away early on as most of the photos of similar looking fountains in China are (as Bryan has also discovered) advertisements for Chinese fountain manufacturers. One actually uses a photo of the same fountain but does not say where it was taken:

I can't tell from that website if they are the manufacturer.
-
No it's not. But I can see this ones a bit tricky so I can say the city is one of the larger, not the capital city, cities in Jiangsu Province and the lake is a very large lake.
Remember, I am asking for the city and name of the lake.
-
ok......I can see this was a pretty tough one and I think it has gone on for long enough.
The fountain is on Lake Lihu, Wuxi, China.
I'll hand the baton over to whoever would like to host the next challenge 🙂
-
OK, I’ll put an easier one up to keep it moving.
Where can this be seen?
-
Clue:
It’s said that, nearly 100 years ago, a famous American author described this area as an angler’s El Dorado.

A marlin statue in Paihia, North Island, New Zealand
Here is a link to the book online: gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0608281h.html
I read a paragraph or two here and there and was already immersed in a tale. Wonderful writing style not seen, or rarely seen, today...

Yes Bryan, a 4m-tall marlin statue on the wharf at Paihia, Bay of Islands, NZ.
Zane Grey was a prolific author and had 112 films adapted from his novels. His passion for fishing saw him make a number of visits to the popular Bay of Islands area in NZ, between 1926 and 1933.
Over to you. -
Thanks Max,
I am going to handball to someone else. First in best dressed... -
Looks like it is me...
Going back a few years...
Building / facility, City, Country?
-
Interesting. When we lived in Germany, my spouse worked for SAP. There was a large Heidelberger factory building nearby. This, apparently, was their first effort.
-
And from all reports it was a veritable workhorse.
Google will find it for you...
-
The „Original Heidelberger Tiegel“ is shown in a number of museums.

This one, I guess, is in Surabaya Indonesia), House of Sampoerna. -
No guess Hans, spot on. A very interesting museum (even if the company is about tobacco products), full of their old machinery and period artifacts.
Over to you...
