Changzhi Water Park

　　The Changzhi Water Park scenic area is situated in the upper reaches of the Zhangze Reservoir, spanning from approximately 600 meters south of National Highway 208 in the south to the Zhangze Reservoir in the north. As it is located on the river beach east of the main riverbed, the park features a long, narrow shape stretching from north to south.

　　The water park lies along Taihang Street, a major urban axis running through Changzhi City, and at the entrance where National Highway 208 enters the city. It serves as a landmark forming the first impression upon entering Changzhi and plays a significant role in shaping the city's image.

　　The planned site is within the flood zone of the Zhangze Reservoir, currently mainly consisting of river beach land. Due to years of shifting between land and water, it has developed Jiangnan-like geographical features such as interconnected lakes and dense reed beds. The terrain within the site ranges in elevation from 900.3 to 901.7 meters. Naturally formed low hills and ridges ranging from 902.4 to 918.3 meters in elevation enclose the site on both the eastern and western sides. Both National Highway 208 and the old Route 208 pass through the area, forming four highway bridges that add scenic beauty. The part of the site near the reservoir features natural water bodies covered with reeds and inhabited by waterfowl such as ducks, offering picturesque natural scenery. Beyond this natural water area lies the vast expanse of the Zhangze Reservoir. Constructed in 1959, the reservoir covers an area of 32 square kilometers with a storage capacity of 130 million cubic meters. To the south of the four-bridge area lies a large expanse of barren beach, devoid of any buildings or structures, and not used for agriculture. With some modifications, this area could be transformed into a recreational haven for residents with relatively minimal investment.
