Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The Hongshan Reservoir Tourist Area is located in the northeastern part of Chifeng City. It lies on the middle reaches of the Laoha River, a well-known tributary of the West Liaohe River—renowned as one of the “Mother Rivers of Khitan and Liao Culture.” It is about 90 kilometers from downtown Chifeng. The reservoir covers a total area of 214 square kilometers, with a total storage capacity of 2.56 billion cubic meters and a water surface area of 94 square kilometers. It is the largest artificial lake in Inner Mongolia. In recent years, it has also become an ideal destination for tourism development. In summer, the reservoir area is alive with birds soaring and fish leaping, its clear waters gently rippling, the soft sandy shores and flat lake ideal for relaxation, while the wide beaches and clean waters extend invitingly. The shore is lined with lush greenbelts, shady trees, and charming pavilions. Beneath the lakeside embankments lie stretches of rice paddies, winding waterways, playful ducks and geese, and leisurely fishing boats—a classic scene reminiscent of a Jiangnan landscape in northern China. Its natural environment fully encompasses the six essential elements of modern lakeside tourism: clear water, sandy beaches, sunshine, fresh air, greenery, and delicious food. It is an ideal natural spot for visitors to reconnect with nature, enjoy lake activities, sunbathing, sand bathing, and air bathing for health and leisure, as well as to admire idyllic rural scenery. The tourist area has relatively complete reception facilities and welcomes approximately 200,000 domestic and international visitors annually.
