- For the episode, see "Lake Laogai (Episode)"
Lake Laogai is a small body of water located within the Outer Wall of Ba Sing Se. It is insinuated by Joo Dee that Lake Laogai is a vacation spot in the Agrarian Zone. Lake Laogai also plays disguise for a sinister compound - a base of operations for the Dai Li deep underneath the lake bed.
[edit] Dai Li Base
Hidden beneath the waters of Lake Laogai was an underground facility operated by the Dai Li agents and run by the cultural minister Long Feng. It consisted of many chambers and tunnels which held prison cells and Dai Li and Joo Dee training facilities. These cells also held equipment used to brainwash people conspiring to destroy the cultural heritage of Ba Sing Se. As it was absolutely forbidden to mention The War against the Fire Nation within the walls, those that did were usually arrested and re-educated using the brainwashing technique used on Jet. It was presumed to be destroyed in "The Earth King".
[edit] Trivia
- The term Laogai is an abbreviation for Laodong Gaizao, 勞動改造, which means "reform through labor," and refers to the use of prison labor in the People's Republic of China. The Laogai were a series of work camps where opponents of Chairman Mao were sent.
- Lake Laogai is one of the only lakes that are visible on the Map of the Avatar World.
