The first artificial lake in Shanxi became popular, with a water storage capacity of 24 million cubic meters, and was praised as 'China's North Lake'

The whole province of Shanxi is located on the topography of the Loess Plateau, and the east and west mountains are sandwiched together, forming a dry and water-deficient climate, agricultural development and ecological environment. However, Shanxi belongs to the area along the Yellow River after all. It has a long history of development and is rich in historical and cultural resources. However, it is inferior in terms of opening and utilization, and many resources have not been utilized. Nonetheless, Shanxi still has many famous attractions in China, such as the Qiao Family Courtyard, the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion, the ancient city of Pingyao and so on.

Recently, the first artificial lake in Shanxi has become popular, with a water storage capacity of 24 million cubic meters. It is praised as the "North Lake of China", which is Jinyang Lake. Jinyang Lake is located in the south of Taiyuan, the provincial capital. It is a pearl in the Taiyuan Basin. It was originally a reservoir excavated for power plant production. It can form a water area of ​​5.1 square kilometers. No one thought of it. Jinyang Lake is now the largest artificial lake in North China and the first artificial lake in Shanxi.

There is a legend that Taiyuan was a large area of ​​water in ancient times. It was originally called Jinyang Lake, and the name Jinyang Lake has been around for a long time. In recent years, Taiyuan has also attached great importance to the development of Jinyang Lake area. Jinyang Lake Park has been newly built. The ancient county seat of Taiyuan and Taiyuan Botanical Garden are both near Jinyang Lake, and lakeside tourism is booming. The Jinyang Lake Park is large in scale, and the construction is quite impressive. There are various vegetations all over it, and it is divided into 9 major functional areas.

The green belt around the lake is most suitable for walking and enjoying the scenery. The fishing area is also very lively. The most entertaining one is the yacht. Speaking of which, Jinyang Lake Park is similar to Fenhe Park in Taiyuan. Fenhe Park is a long landscape belt built along the Fenhe River. The newly opened bicycle lanes are relatively popular recently. Jinyang Lake is also along the water, but It belongs to the oval landscape belt, and the modern landscape requires more.

The transportation around Jinyang Lake is very convenient. After all, it belongs to the key development area of ​​Taiyuan. There are 5 or 6 buses that can go directly. However, which area has a small population, so the park is generally not crowded, and it is more lively at night. The main reason is that the scenery of the lakeside is better at night, the lighting construction in the park is very powerful, and there are neat high-rise buildings not far away.

I mainly go to the park after work to see the lake landscape, especially to relieve stress. There is also a farmhouse park on the lakeside. In summer and autumn, the garden is full of fruit, which is a good place to pass the time. Different from other artificial lakes, although Jinyang Lake is large in scale, the development of aquatic products is average, mainly producing silver carp, tilapia, etc., and the output is not high. This aspect is also related to the water quality on the Loess Plateau.
