Manwan Reservoir
漫湾百里长湖
A long gorge lake formed by Manwan, the first large hydropower station on the Lancang River. The high-canyon lake and mountain villages on both banks make for a magnificent landscape.
The Manwan Hydropower Station sits on the Lancang River where Yun County borders Jingdong County. It was the first large hydropower station built on the main stream of the Lancang River, commissioned in 1993. After the dam impounded the water, a gorge reservoir about 70 km long formed, known as the 'Hundred-Li Long Lake'. You can enjoy views of the high-canyon lake from the dam area and from viewing platforms along the river road, and Baiyingshan Ancient Tea Garden is nearby. The power plant's production areas are off-limits, so please use the public viewing platforms. It is about 60 km from Yun County town.
