Anfeng Tang, Ancient reservoir in Shou County, China.

The Quebei Irrigation Project spans over 42,000 hectares and holds 73 million cubic meters of water in Anhui Province, China.

The reservoir dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period, when Chancellor Sunshu Ao of the Chu State constructed its dam between 598-591 BCE.

The water management techniques demonstrated at Quebei Irrigation Project influenced agricultural practices throughout Chinese civilization for over two millennia.

The reservoir continues to support regional agriculture while offering visitors educational exhibits about ancient Chinese engineering and water management systems.

The original dam stood 31 meters high, making it the tallest dam in the world until Romans built the Subiaco Dam around 50 CE.
