Jiangkou Reservoir Wetland

　　Located on the upper reaches of the Yuan River, it is a reservoir built in 1958. The lake has numerous islands and is known as the "Thousand-Islet Lake of Jiangxi." The scenic area covers 175 square kilometers and is surrounded by verdant mountains and vast, beautiful waters. The scenic zone consists of three parts: the lower reaches feature 30,000 mu of reservoir bays with winding creeks and scattered islands; the middle section includes a 3-kilometer-long high mountain gorge, where two cliffs stand opposite each other reaching toward the sky, and looking up you can only see a narrow strip of sky—hence it is dubbed “Little Three Gorges.” The upper part boasts over 30,000 mu of misty waters stretching as far as the eye can see, dotted with fishing boats, with distant peaks appearing and disappearing intermittently—a picturesque scene of lakes and mountains. Visitors here feel as if they are inside a landscape painting, truly experiencing the sensation of boats sailing on water while people wander within a painting. To the south, the majestic Zhongshan Mountain and lush Linggang Mountain stand like emerald screens across the sky; to the north, the seven peaks of Yuan Ridge resemble a coiling dragon, swooping down from the towering Yangshan Mountain, exuding a powerful and overwhelming momentum.
