Where is the head of the Red Flag Canal?

The Hongqi Canal source and head barrage are located about 600 meters below the Houbi Hydropower Station in Pingshun County, Shanxi Province. The channel water diversion hub is used to divert water from unregulated rivers.

Hongqi Canal, located in Linzhou City, Anyang, Henan Province, is a national AAAAA tourist attraction and a national key cultural relics protection unit. It is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". It was built in the 1960s by the people of Lin County (now Linzhou City) under extremely difficult conditions to divert the Yangtze River from the Taihang Mountains into the forest. It is called the "Artificial Tianhe".
