Changzhi Water Park

Changzhi Water Park

The Changzhi Water Park Scenic Area is located in the upper section of the Zhangze Reservoir, stretching from approximately 600 meters south of National Highway 208 in the south to the Zhangze Reservoir in the north. Situated on the river beach east of the main riverbed, it forms a long, narrow strip stretching from north to south.

The Water Park is situated along the axis of Taihang Street, a major urban road running through Changzhi City, and is located at the entrance where National Highway 208 enters the city. It serves as a landmark area that forms the first impression upon entering Changzhi, and its development has a significant impact on the city’s overall appearance.

The planned area is located within the flood zone of the Zhangze Reservoir. Currently, it mainly consists of river beach land. Due to years of shifting between water and land, it has developed geographical features resembling the Jiangnan region, with interconnected lakes and dense reed beds. The elevation within the area ranges between 900.3 and 901.7 meters. Naturally formed low hills and gentle slopes on both sides, with elevations ranging from 902.4 to 918.3 meters, enclose the site on the east and west. Both National Highway 208 and the old Route 208 pass through the area, forming four highway bridges that add scenic value. The part of the site close to the reservoir features natural water bodies covered with reeds, where water birds and wild ducks reside, offering beautiful natural scenery. Beyond the natural water zone lies the vast expanse of the Zhangze Reservoir. Built in 1959, the reservoir covers an area of 32 square kilometers with a water storage capacity of 130 million cubic meters. South of the Four Bridges area lies a large expanse of barren beach, devoid of any buildings, structures, or agricultural use. With some modifications, this area could become a recreational haven for residents with relatively minimal investment.
