1974 The reason why Chagan Lake dried up.

The reason why Chagan Lake dried up at 1974 is that Chagan Lake is located at the end of Huolin River and belongs to the dammed lake of Huolin River. After the founding of New China, due to the construction of Hangali, Xinglong and Shengli reservoirs in the upper reaches of Huolin River, the amount of water entering Chagan Lake decreased.

Chagan Lake is 37 kilometers long and its coastline is tortuous. It is one of the top ten freshwater lakes in China and the largest inland lake in Jilin Province. Beautiful environment, beautiful scenery and rich flora and fauna. In summer, Chagan Lake is blue and green, so you can take a boat tour. The fishing scene in winter is unique and spectacular. Thousands of people work on the ice, dozens of motor vehicles transport around the clock, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fresh fish break through the ice, which is the highest in the country.

Chagan Lake is located in the northwest of Guo Qian County, Jilin Province, 45km from Songyuan City, 93km from Changchun City, 32km from Baicheng City, 265km from Harbin City. Local transportation: In front of Dream Paris in Wulan Street, Songyuan City, there is a tourist bus bound for Chagan Lake at 8: 00 every morning, and the fare is 13 yuan. Songyuan Bus Station can also take Chagan Lake Tourist Bus, and the fare is 14 yuan.

Chagan Lake is a lake formed by rivers, which was once a part of the main channel of Nenjiang River in history. Due to crustal movement, climate change, river swing, siltation and other reasons, Nenjiang River diverted eastward to the east of Daan platform, leaving Daan ancient channel. On the other hand, the incoming water of the tributary Huolin River gradually decreases, the river course gradually silts up, and the outlet is blocked, forming a blind tail river. In addition, the terrain here is flat and the drainage is not smooth. Therefore, this lake was formed in the west of Jilin Province, which is called "800 Sea".
