Foziling Reservoir
佛子岭水库
The first reinforced-concrete multi-arch dam built in New China, completed in 1954. The canyon below the dam and the artificial lake form the Foziling Scenic Area.
Foziling Reservoir is located on the East Pai River, about 15 km south of the Huoshan County seat. It was completed in 1954 and was the first reinforced-concrete multi-arch dam designed and built by China on its own. Known as New China's First Dam, it is listed as a nationally key cultural heritage site. The scenic area includes the multi-arch dam, an artificial lake, Reclining Buddha Mountain, and the Sleeping Beauty mountain outline. In summer, rafting is available on the East Pai River. Visitors can walk along the river to view the dam area. Boat tours on the lake depend on conditions on site. The drive from the county seat takes about 20 minutes.
