Niukouyu Reservoir

Niukouyu Reservoir

Niukouyu Reservoir is located 2 kilometers west of Fangshan District in Beijing, north of Niukouyu Village. Construction began in 1959, and it was completed in December 1972. The project involved moving 600,000 cubic meters of earth and stone, with a catchment area of 2.3 square kilometers. The reservoir has a capacity of 10 million cubic meters. It features one main dam, six auxiliary dams, and two water conveyance pipelines. The main dam is 35.4 meters high, with a crest length of 290 meters. After 1972, it was repurposed as a wastewater storage facility for the Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Company.

Although called a reservoir, it functions more like a park. Visitors can go boating, feed animals, and enjoy play areas for children. It’s also a great choice for summer escapes and leisure activities.
