Lotus Lake Dam Scenic Area

Lotus Lake Dam Scenic Area

The Lotus Power Station Scenic Tourism Area is located in Lianhua Town at the Lotus Power Station. It consists of the main dam, secondary dam, and lakeside corridor. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake area, power plant buildings, and generator units. The winding corridor from the dam to the lake center is an ingenious man-made masterpiece. Walking through the corridor to the lake’s heart reveals a deliberately placed commemorative stone inscribed with “Lianhua Lake” from the power station’s construction era. This massive stone, weighing over a hundred tons, stands prominently in the lake center, showcasing humanity’s triumph over nature. Strolling along the lakeside corridor offers breathtaking views of the charming lake and mountain scenery. The Second Dam Guesthouse, situated atop the Lotus Power Plant dam and also known as the Lake-Viewing Pavilion, provides picnic services. Here, you can also sample distinctive local aquatic products such as the large fathead fish and silver carp from Lotus Lake.

Lianhua Town: Situated in the northwest of Linkou County and adjacent to Hailin City, the nationally significant large-scale hydroelectric power station—Lotus Power Station—is less than 2 kilometers from the town center. The Mudan River flows through the town, providing abundant water resources and fertile soil suitable for growing cash crops such as flue-cured tobacco and soybeans. The town comprises a total of nine villages and settlements, with a population of 12,030. Lianhua Town has undergone many historical changes: it was established as Zigui Zi Township in 1936, became Lianhua Commune in 1961, was restructured as Lianhua Township after the commune system was abolished in 1984, and was officially upgraded to Lianhua Town in 1997, a status it retains to this day. …… More detailed information about Lianhua Town++
