Jixinghe Reservoir is located on the upper reaches of the Jixinghe River, 25 kilometers northwest of Boli County, and is a medium-sized reservoir. Construction began in 1958, and it became operational in 1965. The total water storage capacity is 15 million cubic meters, with a water surface area of 440,000 square meters. Nestled against mountains and beside the water, the reservoir is surrounded by green trees and the sound of pine waves, offering picturesque scenery. In summer, the area boasts lush mountains, clear waters, birds singing in chorus, and flowers in full bloom; in winter, it is covered in silvery white, with evergreen pines stacked in emerald hues — a stunning natural landscape.
Over the years, the reservoir has made full use of its natural resource advantages to develop and construct a scenic area tailored to local conditions. Tourism at Jixinghe Reservoir has taken initial shape, and in 1994 it was listed as a provincial-level scenic spot. Now, the site features over ten attractions including the Cliffside Jixing Pavilion, the Wave-Crossing Wohong Canal, the Mountain-Leaning Cuiping Pavilion, the Splash-Jade Wave-Listening Sonbi Han, the Dancing Nine-Dragon Wall, the Majestic Zhifu Sluice, the Fragrant Tianxiang Garden, the Melody-Breezy Biqing Corridor, the Grand and Majestic Jiling Temple exuding imposing momentum, the Laughing Maitreya Buddha symbolizing “Tiger Roars Evergreen, Laughs Always,” the Thrilling Yet Safe Ghost-Free Fear Palace, and the Phoenix Terrace. Jixinghe Reservoir has become an ideal destination for leisure, vacation, and sightseeing. In recent years, it has attracted notable domestic figures, overseas friends, and tourists from surrounding cities and counties, receiving an average of 50,000 visitors per year.
