Yansai Lake, located in the valley 7 miles northwest of Shanhaiguan City, is the first artificial lake east of the Great Wall in Wan Li. Also known as shihe reservoir, it was built in 1974, when the dam stopped flowing and stored water. Stone River used to be a harmful river. Every summer and autumn, the flood between mountain canyons rushes out of the mountain pass on the narrow and curved riverbed between cliffs, causing floods, destroying farmland and blocking pedestrians. But Shihe River is also a natural barrier and military fortress of Shanhaiguan City. The national military conflicts in Sui, Tang, Liao and Jin Dynasties mostly occurred here. Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty, led 200,000 troops, Wu Sangui, the general of Ming-Ji-Liao, and Dourgen, the general of Qing Dynasty.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it only took the local people three years to cut mountains and build dams, store water into lakes, and lock the stone river that once crossed the river in the valley. Since then, the new lake has also added beautiful scenery to the north. Today's Yansai Lake, with a surface area of15km, is like a mirror, with lush cliffs on both sides, reflecting the green and crystal-clear center of the lake, in which boating is sometimes narrow and nowhere, just like the Three Gorges; Sometimes it suddenly dawns, and it's Wang Yang. It gives people a poetic rhyme of mountains and rivers. Yansai Lake has not only beautiful mountains and water, but also strange rocks and unique scenery. In the middle of the lake, there is an isolated mountain, a blue morning light, a goddess bathing in the shade, a small cliff with beautiful rocks, a bright silver screen of mountain flowers, an interesting turtle entering the water, Huatuo picking herbs surrounded by clouds and a fairy's vertical finger. The poet praised the landscape of Yansai Lake, which has both the beauty of Guilin and the steepness of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and is worthy of being a tourist attraction in the north. Like a pearl, she is inlaid on the edge of the Great Wall, adding splendor to Chengguan.
