Fengshuba Reservoir, reservoir in Longchuan County
Fengshuba Reservoir is a large body of water in Longchuan County that stretches across a broad area with gentle banks, clear water, and dense green trees along its edges. The reservoir was created by a dam constructed in 1974 and now serves water storage, electricity generation, and supply to nearby communities.
Fengshuba Reservoir was created in 1974 when the dam was built to help control water flow and prevent flooding in the region. Since its construction, it has supported local agriculture and provided a reliable water supply during dry seasons.
The name Fengshuba comes from the local term for the dam and the water it creates, making it a central part of the landscape. For generations, people in Longchuan have relied on it for fishing, irrigation, and gathering spaces where daily life unfolds along its shores.
The reservoir is open year-round and works well for day visits with simple trails to explore that wind through the forests and along the water. The area has basic visitor facilities like walking paths and rest spots that make it easy to enjoy the surroundings comfortably.
The area encompasses a nature reserve of around 15,000 hectares with over 500 plant species and more than 70 animal species, including rare and protected animals like white-necked pheasants and leopards. This biodiversity makes the reservoir an important habitat for conservation efforts in the region.
