Located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, about 30 kilometers from the city center, Shangzhuang Reservoir was formed by damming an old river channel. It stretches approximately 4 kilometers in length, with winding sections and varying widths. The reservoir is separated from Daoxiang Lake by just a single bridge, sharing a continuous body of water. Due to the shallow water in the upstream section and deeper water in the downstream section, fish often migrate from upstream to reside and breed here, resulting in a naturally higher fish density compared to other large reservoirs. The reservoir is home to a variety of fish species, including crucian carp, common carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, catfish, black carp, and mandarin fish. Among them, common carp can grow over 5 kilograms, and crucian carp around 500 grams are not uncommon.
