Yingzhou Fairy Lake Water Conservancy Scenic Area

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

Scenic Area Location: Northwestern part of Jiaocheng District, Ningde City, Fujian Province Scenic Area Introduction: The Yingzhou Fairy Lake Water Conservancy Scenic Area in Hongkou Township covers a water area of 8.92 square kilometers with a storage capacity of 450 million cubic meters. The water is crystal clear and stretches blue to the horizon. The water is stored upstream of the Hongkou Hydropower Station dam, featuring deep waters and a vast reservoir. The reflections of the blue sky and the green mountains on both sides create a magnificent "high mountain and flat lake" landscape. Combined with the beautiful natural scenery of the nearby "Stone Bamboo Shoots Piercing the Sky" scenic area, as well as the cultural landscapes formed by the relocation of reservoir relics, the area boasts excellent tourism resources. The scenic area enjoys superior climatic conditions and a pristine natural environment. The reservoir is abundant with delicious fish such as sweetfish, grass carp, silver carp, and common carp. Occasionally, egrets can be seen skimming over the lake surface. When startled, they take flight, stirring up white waves that are a breathtaking sight. Lush greenery and the gentle sound of flowing water can be enjoyed year-round, making the change of seasons almost imperceptible. In the early morning, mist drifts above the water, with fishing rafts faintly visible on the surface; at dusk, the setting sun bathes the river in golden rays, enhancing the area’s charm. From a high vantage point, one can gaze at the vast lake surrounded by towering mountains, with thin mist lingering in the air, creating a fairy-tale-like scene that is truly captivating. Aside from its unique scenery and local customs, the scenic area also features rich cultural heritage. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yingzhou was an ancient post road and commercial hub connecting Jiaocheng with other regions, once thriving with activity. During the revolutionary war years, it served as a major base area in eastern Fujian. Well-preserved sites such as the famous underground transportation hub “Flower Basket Crossing,” “Red Army Kitchen,” “Ancient Fort,” and “Battle Tower Pavilion” remain. It is also widely renowned for the “Three Wonders of Yingzhou”: the “Ancient Village of Yingzhou,” “Boats Racing on Water,” and “Surfing on a Single Log.”
