Hefei Binhu Water Conservancy Scenic Area

Hefei Binhu Water Conservancy Scenic Area is a national water conservancy scenic area.

Hefei Binhu Water Conservancy Scenic Area is located in Baohe District, Hefei City. It was built along the Chaohu Lake Dyke, Feihe River Dyke, and Paihe River Dyke, covering a total area of 124.05 square kilometers, including 70.59 square kilometers of water surface, making it an urban river-lake type water conservancy scenic area.

Since 2008, leveraging its "City of Lakes, Renowned City" development strategy, Hefei has vigorously promoted ecological management and restoration projects around Chaohu Lake. These include shoreline remediation, blue-green algae control, treatment of rivers flowing into the lake, and the dredging of ditches and canals. These efforts have not only raised the flood prevention standard of the dykes to a 100-year level but also enhanced the scenic and ecological value of water conservancy infrastructure. The water quality and aquatic ecological environment of Chaohu Lake have significantly improved, providing residents with a livable living space and establishing the area as one of Hefei’s city landmarks. The scenic area features a 16.08-kilometer-long lakeside scenic boulevard, as well as ten major cultural venues such as the Anhui Celebrity Memorial Hall. Both the Da Wei Ecological Agricultural Park and Binhu Park are recognized as a National 4A-level Tourist Attraction and a National Forest Park, respectively.
