Introduction

Songtao Reservoir is a beautiful area with stunning natural scenery. Its steep mountains, picturesque rivers and springs, as well as the vast area of the reservoir itself, make it a rare geomantic treasure in Hainan. Since the construction began in 1958 and the operation started in 1969, the reservoir has continued to grow and develop, becoming even more beautiful and eye-catching. Both before and after its construction, Chinese leaders paid great attention to it. On February 9, 1960, Premier Zhou Enlai wrote an inscription for it; in June 1962, the famous poet Tian Han and his wife An E toured the reservoir by boat and left behind popular verses. Songtao Reservoir is one of the top ten reservoirs in the country, with a vast area, rich resources, irrigated fertile land, and multiple water conservancy projects, and is the second-largest earth dam in China. It offers integrated functions such as irrigation, flood control, water supply, power generation, navigation, aquaculture, afforestation, and tourism. As a pioneer and economic support of the Special Economic Zone, the beautiful scenery and comprehensive development of Songtao Reservoir have earned it the nickname "Heavenly Lake." From Wangdidian in the north to Lianhua Mountain Forest Park, from Lanyang Hot Springs to entering the Changjiang-Basuo Western Industrial Corridor via Baisha, Songtao Reservoir is very convenient, with different attractions and areas connected to each other, allowing tourists to enjoy the beauty of the water and rich ecological tourism resources. In the glow of the setting sun, Songtao Dam area displays a brilliant and colorful sight, showcasing the beautiful, magnificent view of mountains, and clear waters.
