About
Quick facts: The reservoir here has a capacity of 7.2 billion cubic meters and was once the second largest dam in the world. The power station's generation capacity is 1000 megawatts, supporting the electricity supply for surrounding areas.
Highlights: The dam's spillway is 300 meters wide, with roaring, rushing water. Visitors often watch the sunset reflected on the lake surface at dusk, where the water shimmers golden, creating a magnificent scene.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as there is quite a bit of walking around the dam area.
- Bring sunscreen and a hat because the summer afternoon sun can be strong.
- Taking photos from the top of the dam can capture the lake's reflective sunset beauty.
- Avoid holidays and weekends; there are fewer visitors on weekdays for a better experience.
