Shilongba Hydropower Station, Hydroelectric power station in Xishan District, China.
Shilongba Hydropower Station is a water power facility in Xishan District with three main workshops located near Dian Lake. The station uses turbine generator sets to produce electricity for surrounding regions.
The station was founded in 1912 and was the first hydropower facility on mainland China. It supplied electricity to Kunming through transmission lines and marked a turning point in China's industrialization.
The complex received recognition as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in 2006, preserving memory of China's early electricity generation. Visitors can understand the industrial importance this facility held in local development.
The site is accessible, but visitors should note this is an active industrial facility. It makes sense to focus on open areas and respect safety zones during your visit.
The station withstood four bombing attacks by Japanese forces between 1939 and 1941 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Despite these attacks, the facility kept its operations running and played an important role in maintaining continuous power supply.
