Introduction to Dense Forest and Flowers: Baogu Valley has steep mountains, towering rocks, and numerous green peaks. It is pure and elegant, with different scenery in four seasons. Wang Wanxiang, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, summarized this place as the "Twenty-Four Scenic Spots of Shimen". The completion of Shimen Reservoir made Baogu Valley even better. Shimen Reservoir is a large-scale water conservancy project mainly focused on irrigation, with a storage capacity of 105 million cubic meters, irrigating more than 500,000 acres of farmland, and an installed power generation capacity of 40,500 kilowatts. The dam is 88 meters high and has a top length of 260 meters. It is a double-curved arch dam with beautiful shape and grandeur. It has a high gorge and a flat lake with rippling blue waves. Cruise ships and speedboats shuttle on the 17-kilometer long artificial lake, and you can enjoy the pleasant scenery of the lake and mountains. Mountain streams are gurgling, clear springs are overflowing, mountain waterfalls are jingling, and there are many kinds of aquatic birds, among which giant salamanders, soft-shell turtles, egrets, etc. are the most precious.
