     Sanjia Hydropower Station is located on the main course of the Tao River, 25 kilometers south of the county seat. It is both a flagship project for harnessing the hydroelectric potential of the Tao River and promoting economic development, and an ideal tourist destination. The entire dam resembles a majestic dragon lying across the Tao River, transforming its surging waters into a serene high-mountain lake. In spring, when the reservoir’s surface begins to thaw, un-melted ice chunks drift downstream in clusters, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight. Once the ice melts, the scenery becomes even more delightful, with willows brushing the water, birds chirping, and flowers blooming. In summer, the green mountains on both banks are mirrored in the shimmering water, dotted with floating birds, while the lively "Hua'er" folk song festivals held along the shores add a unique charm. In autumn, the skies are clear, the air crisp, reeds along the banks sway in the breeze, and misty waves stretch for miles, evoking the beauty of the Jiangnan water towns. Taking a sightseeing boat upstream offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, refreshing the mind and spirit. In winter, the river is covered with a vast expanse of ice and rolling ice floes, presenting a flat, pristine white surface that’s fun to walk on. Together with the nearby Turtle Spirit Park, Haidian Gorge, and Nanping Mountain upstream, it forms one of the county’s major tourist zones.
