Guangzhao Lake

光照湖

A canyon plateau lake formed by the reservoir of the Guangzhao Hydropower Station on the Beipan River, with emerald waters and surrounding mountains. Boat tours are available.

Guangzhao Lake is a long, narrow reservoir formed by the dam of the Guangzhao Hydropower Station on the Beipan River. It lies on the border between Qinglong and Guanling. The dam is over 200 meters high, the canyon walls on both sides are steep, and the water is a striking emerald green. In the Guangzhao town area you can look down over the lake and dam, and some docks offer boat tours. Visitors are few and the scenery is unspoiled. The lake is about 20 km from the county town, and self-driving is recommended. Plan for half a day.
