Yaoqiaoyu Reservoir

Yaoqiaoyu Reservoir

Yaoqiaoyu Reservoir was completed in 1984, with a total storage capacity of 19.4 million cubic meters and a normal water surface area of 612,000 square meters. It features a dam, spillway, desilting tunnel, water conveyance tunnel, and a power station. The dam is the first concrete buttress dam used in Beijing, supplying an average of 20 million cubic meters of water per year and generating about 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. It has a designed irrigation area of 46,200 mu. The reservoir enjoys an elegant natural environment and picturesque scenery. Standing on the dam and looking eastward, you can see the main peak of Wuling Mountain. The majestic Great Wall winds along the mountain ridges. Due to the high mountains, dense forests, and the presence of the reservoir, the average summer temperature here is around 25°C, making it a cool and refreshing destination ideal for escaping the heat.
