In addition, there are two ancient cities with a history of more than 1800 years at the bottom of Qiandao Lake, expecting the world to unveil her mysterious veil.

Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is a national first-class water body with green mountains and lush forests, and the greening viewing rate is 100%. 573 square kilometers of lake water is crystal clear, and the visibility reaches 12 meters. Mu Qing, former president of Xinhua News Agency, praised it as "the most beautiful water in the world".

Qiandao Lake is Xin 'anjiang Reservoir. The reservoir was built in 1950s, with a dam height of105m and a length of 462m. The length of the reservoir is about150km, and the widest part exceeds10km. The deepest part exceeds 100 meter. The area under normal water level is about 580 square kilometers, which is 104 times larger than Hangzhou West Lake, and the water storage capacity can reach 178 billion cubic meters, which is more than 3000 times larger than Hangzhou West Lake. This big reservoir is not only magnificent in spirit, but also spectacular in scenery. There are 398 ordinary islands and 1078 large and medium-sized islands scattered all over the reservoir. It is famous for its towering mountains, clear lakes and dotted islands, which are as vast as the smoke of Taihu Lake and as graceful as the West Lake.

The clouds cleared away and the wonderful colors on the lake gradually emerged. Not green, not blue, like green and blue. Just like Bai Juyi's "Good Jiangnan" and "Riverside is as green as blue".

Qiandao Lake is wide, with blue sky and scattered islands. The big island is like a mountain, and the small island is like a boat. It is crisp and dripping, like pieces of jasper half immersed in the lake. Because there are few plankton in the water, the lake is as clear as a mirror, and because of the water depth, it looks green as jade.

It is said that Qiandao Lake has gathered many mountain springs, and the natural mineral water "Nongfu Spring" is taken from the depth of 70 meters in Qiandao Lake.

The mountains around the lake and the islands in the lake have dense vegetation, no soil and no stones, green mountains and green islands, and unlimited vitality; Because there are many islands in the lake, the ports are criss-crossed, and yachts travel in different channels without interfering with each other. It is like a boat in a million hectares, and it is fun to have a drink.
