Walking 72 kilometers north from Xi 'an City, I came to the lower reaches of Qushui River in Yao County, and suddenly I saw vast smoke waves, beautiful lakes, cool breeze and pleasant scenery. This is a bright pearl embedded in the Loess Plateau, Jinyang Lake Ecological Park. Jinyang Lake, also known as Taoqupo Reservoir, is called Zhi Tao Qupo Reservoir because there is a village called Taoqupo Village in the southwest corner of the reservoir, and Jinyang Lake because its downstream channel is called Jinyang River.
As for the contemporary writer Jia Pingwa's explanation that peaches are peach-colored and have a literary meaning in the book "The Wasted Capital", it is completely a literary interpretation. Jinyang Lake has a designed storage capacity of 57.2 million M3, an effective storage capacity of 42.9 million M3, a coastline length of 10km and a lake surface of 150 hectares. It is a bright pearl embedded in Weibei Plateau. It mainly plays a comprehensive role in flood control and security, agricultural irrigation, urban water supply, eco-tourism and aquaculture.
The lake was founded in 1969 and completed in 1974. It is built on a limestone fault with complicated geology. During the operation, a reservoir disappeared overnight and all leaked. During the construction period, some geological experts suggested that this geological structure was not suitable for building reservoirs, so they were beaten into smelly Laojiu and marched with big stones, but they were finally completed in the spirit of conquering nature.
After two large-scale leaks, it has been running safely for nearly 30 years. 1992 Japanese experts were amazed when they visited here, praising China people for creating a miracle on earth.
Jinyang Lake Ecological Park integrates natural scenery and human landscape, and pavilions in the park are hidden in lush clouds. The observation deck, majestic and wide, virtually shows the grandeur and grandeur of the Great Wall of Wan Li; On the stage stands the18m-high Shuang Yi Tower, which has a panoramic view of the lake area and was once lamented by Fan Zhongyan. Thousands of acres of fruit forest base, fruitful. The orchard runs along the mountain, and the small farmhouses dotted sporadically contrast with the simple caves in northern Shaanxi, showing a quiet pastoral scenery. Climbing up the five steps of 168 Moyu, you can enjoy the beautifully carved Qin Fang Gardens with beautiful flowers and beautiful forests. Enter the limestone cave in front of the dam160m long, and you can enjoy the wonders of the natural grottoes. In the misty Jinyang Lake, tourists are swinging canoes and their shadows are empty. Fishing around the lake, fountains in the lake, drinking and practicing flying beads reveal a sense of movement in the quiet and elegant, forming a moving landscape painting.
Jinyang Lake Ecological Park is a fertile soil, with the blood of Xuanyuan Huangdi and the footprint of Dayu's water control. As a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, Sun Simiao, a great physician and thinker in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the Thousand Golden Formulas, which is full of brilliance. The fumigation hall in the park displays exquisite paintings and calligraphy works of Liu Gongquan, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and Fan Kuan, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. The fourth is the humble room, which is the original residence of Mr. Jia Pingwa's "Waste Capital". Celebrities of ancient and modern times bred on this fertile soil have added color to the landscape of their hometown with their economic ties and pen and ink. Taoqupo Reservoir in the past and Jinyang Lake Ecological Park today are a bright pearl embedded in the Loess Plateau.
