Panjiakou Reservoir
On December 17, 1982, the Panjiakou Reservoir, the largest water conservancy and hydropower project in North China with a capacity of 2.93 billion cubic meters and a power generation capacity of 450,000 kilowatts, was basically completed after more than seven years of intensive construction. Located at the junction of Tangshan and Chengde, the Panjiakou Reservoir is a key project for the development of Luanhe water resources, which can bring about multiple benefits: an average of 1.95 billion cubic meters of water can be adjusted and sent to Tianjin and Tangshan each year to solve the industrial, agricultural and urban water needs of the two places, and to reduce the water supply pressure of the Miyun Reservoir; it will effectively control flood disasters and ensure the safety of the Luanhe Bridge of the Beijing-Shanhai Railway downstream. At the same time, the reservoir area can also develop shipping, aquatic products, tourism and other industries. The Panjiakou Reservoir is located at the junction of the three townships of Luotai, Tashan and Dushigou in the west of Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County. This reservoir was approved by the State Council as one of the important projects of "bringing Luanhe into Tianjin". Panjiakou Reservoir is the main project of diverting water from Luan River to Tianjin. It is one of the reservoirs in North China. It consists of a river-blocking dam and two auxiliary dams. The largest area is 72 square kilometers, the deepest is 80 meters, the total capacity of the reservoir is 2.93 billion cubic meters, and the water surface of the reservoir area is 105,000 mu. The mountains on both sides of the reservoir are steep, with strange rocks like forests, which is very steep. The Xifengkou area where the reservoir is located is a strong fortress of the ancient Great Wall. As part of the Great Wall has been submerged in water, a wonder of the Great Wall has been formed - the underwater Great Wall. Before the construction of the reservoir, fish and shrimps jumped here, the rice flowers on both sides were fragrant, the trees were lush, and the scenery was beautiful. It can be called the "Little Jiangnan" of the northern frontier. After the water storage, many natural and artificial tourist attractions have been added, more than 20 large landscapes. The Xifengkou area where the Panjiakou Reservoir is located is a place famous for the ancient Great Wall. With ancient military engineering as the main body, it has formed a series of ancient cultural relics tourist attractions, mainly including "Xifengkou Fortress", "Songtingguan Fortress", "Panjiakou Great Wall" and many legendary ancient sites. In the reservoir area, you can also enjoy four of the "eight scenic spots outside the mouth" in Kuancheng County: snow on Dushan, fish scales, yellow cliffs of Wanta and Dumuxian Bridge. The reservoir is located in the composite part of the southeast tectonic belt and the Huaxia tectonic belt in the Yanshan Mountains. The geological structure is complex. The surrounding limestone, dolomite and a small part of shale rock bodies have shaped a series of strange and colorful peaks and rocks and steep cliffs due to water erosion and folding and faulting. With the background of the vast blue lake, it has formed a ten-mile gallery centered on Puhekou and Jiajia'an, which is almost comparable to Guilin, and a large number of strange-shaped stalactites. It is a first-class landscape that is extremely rare in the north. The reservoir area has more than ten natural scenic spots including "Ten-Li Picture Gallery", "Elephant Trunk Hill", "A Line of Sky", "Crescent Cave", "Elliptical Sky", "Double-Eye Cave", "Turtle Island", "Bangchui Rock", "Tianzhu Peak", "Kulong Mountain" and "Monkey Mountain".
Panjiakou Underwater Great Wall
Here, you can appreciate the ruggedness of the northern mountains and the beauty of the southern water towns. The Great Wall, which reflects the wisdom of the ancient working people, and the Luan River diversion project, which showcases the achievements of modern civilization, organically integrate history and reality. The ups and downs of the "underwater Great Wall" have become a barometer of rainfall in North China. It has appeared above the water and then disappeared underwater many times in history.
