Qingxi Lake National Water Conservancy Scenic Area

Qingxi Lake National Water Conservancy Scenic Area is located in Caijia Town, Jiangjin District, more than 60 kilometers from downtown Jiangjin. It is the “twin sister” of the Simian Mountain National Scenic Area, a national-level attraction. Covering an area of 52 square kilometers, the scenic zone boasts a forest coverage rate of 85%. In addition to its vast forests, it also features rich waterfalls, expansive lakes, magical wind valleys, stone forests, deep caves, and ancient temples that are thousands of years old. The scenic area has the following characteristics: 1. Excellent water quality. The area centers around the man-made Qingxi Lake, which has a water storage capacity of 16.38 million cubic meters. The water is clear, unpolluted, and abundant, classified as a mid-sized Class II provincial reservoir, and the scenery is picturesque. 2. Lush vegetation. The forest and vegetation within the scenic area are well-preserved, with islands standing in the water and surrounded by mountains and lakes, presenting a beautiful natural landscape painting. 3. Unique mountain formations. The mountains in the scenic area feature Danxia landforms, with towering stone pillars. Peculiar rocks such as “Siblings’ Bond” and “Buddha Preaching” are strikingly lifelike. 4. Outstanding attractions. A 40-meter-high waterfall resembles a dreamy curtain; the mirror-like calm water surface is like a painting. Other attractions like highland plains, peculiar stone gullies, and the astonishing “Fairy Cave” each have their own unique charm. 5. Convenient transportation. The Qijiang–Simian Mountain tourist loop road, which leads directly to the scenic area, runs through the region.
