Tourism Development of Jiangya Reservoir

Jiangya Reservoir is a water control project in the middle reaches of Luojiang River, which focuses on flood control and takes into account the comprehensive benefits of power generation, irrigation, shipping and tourism. It is precisely because of its completion that the tourism culture of the national 4A-level scenic spots can be carried forward.

The dam height of Jiangya Reservoir is 13 1 m, which is the highest RCC dam under construction in the world at that time. The dam stands tall, and the vast water surface at the waist forms 80 thousand mu of water surface, which is a beautiful scenery standing in the middle of the canyon.

The establishment of Jiangya Reservoir Dam has created a landscape of mountains and rivers, including the vast Longtan Bay Lake, the steep Jiuyuan Pass and other canyons, as well as the isolated deep creek canyons such as Wulixi and Beizixi. Mountains are forests, and forests are lush because of mountains; The scenery is beautiful with the customs, and the customs are intoxicated by the scenery.

Taking a boat tour of the reservoir area, the spectacular scene of "beautiful mountains and clear waters, high gorge out of Pinghu" is displayed in front of you. There is almost no artificial decoration in the reservoir area, no pavilions, no blue tiles and red walls, only green lakes, clear springs and waterfalls, steep mountains and valleys and endless bamboo and wood. There are several fishing boats parked on the lake, and there is no noise of the city at all.

There are scenic spots along the reservoir, such as Jiuxi Ancient Town, Jiangya Ancient Town, Longwangdong, Lock Water and Laishui Drifting. They are not only primitive and quaint rural diaojiao buildings, but also ancient cities and streets with a long history. They are also rich in Tujia and Miao customs, integrating humanities and integrating mountains and rivers in one furnace.

In addition, there is the only antique palace-style semi-open-air hot spring in Hunan Province-Jiangya Hot Spring. The dew point of Jiangya hot spring is located in the hot water pit at the foot of Jiangya reservoir dam, and the annual water temperature reaches more than 50 degrees. Natural garden-like layout, cobblestone paved bluestone paths, rockery waterfalls, small bridges and flowing water, Jiangya Hot Spring Pool is like a pearl embedded in it, which is a quiet and peaceful fairyland in Shan Ye with a strong local flavor.
