Zhuque Lake Scenic Area

　　The Zhuque Lake Scenic Area amusement park is situated in the hinterland of the ancient Guxi Valley entrance at the northern foot of the Qinba Mountains in Yang County. It is 6 kilometers from the county town and is closely connected to the world-renowned crested ibis ecological park. The beautiful Zhuque Lake serves as the main ecological backdrop, surrounded by lush forests and a rich variety of wildlife. Over ten species of rare birds, such as egrets, cranes, cormorants, and mandarin ducks, can often be seen dancing gracefully and making their year-round home in the reservoir area. Together, they form a magnificent and vivid long scroll of green mountains and clear waters.

　　 The scenic area integrates natural sightseeing, leisure vacations, water recreation, religious activities, and cultural entertainment. It features a diverse range of ecological attractions and boasts distinctive characteristics. Covering an area of 50 square kilometers, the currently developed sections include the Dam Area Water Park, Nianfo Cliff Temple, Erdaowan, Houtoupo, Qingliang Temple, and the Iron Chain Bridge. Various sizes of pleasure boats are available for visitors to enjoy the scenery within the park.

　　 Since 2008, the scenic area has been applying for recognition as a National Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site. It currently offers nearly 10 sightseeing projects, including the Tanghe Hydropower Station, the reservoir dam, eco-agricultural tourism, and cage fish farming.
