Longmentan Reservoir

The Longmentan Reservoir scenic area consists of the Longmentan Diversion Hub Project — an artificial lake and the Longmen Gorge. This key water conservancy project in Quanzhou has now become a newly developed water park in Dehua County. The light clouds, lush trees, and the sparkling blue waters playing together are simply enchanting, making one itch to leap into the water and get close to the azure waves, merging into the embrace of nature. The water here is the soul of the Longmentan Reservoir area. The glistening green waters flow like veins, delivering the "lifeblood" full of vitality to every corner of Longmentan. The water here, sparkling and green, is filled with the warmth of a mother and the vitality of life.

The picturesque, tranquil, and harmonious Longmentan Reservoir area allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful surrounding lakes and mountains, experience the leisurely pleasure of boating amidst green hills and clear waters, or try fishing by the lake. Here, you can also appreciate the grandeur of “a calm lake emerging from high gorges” and feel the exhilarating sense of unity between humans and nature. It is an excellent destination for relaxation and convalescence.

Just pick a weekend, gather some friends, and head to Longmentan together. Hop on a speedboat and cruise along the lake, and your heart will instantly feel wide open. The troubles of daily life and the distractions of the mundane world melt away into the vast expanse of blue water. The speedboat cuts two white trails on the calm surface, while cheerful laughter spreads across the lake. The green mountains and trees on both sides rush past in a blur — there’s no time to look closely or think too much, only a feeling of being surrounded by vibrant greenery that is incredibly refreshing.

In Longmentan, the most beautiful sights are the small islands scattered across the lake and the numerous peninsulas that stretch into the water, embracing the green waves. Together, these islands form the very skeleton of Longmentan. If you’re lucky, you might also witness the spectacular sight of the reservoir’s water release — torrents of white water gushing out from the sluice gates like a mighty army charging through a pass. The deafening roar and the majestic momentum are truly breathtaking.
