Miyun Reservoir

Miyun Reservoir is one of the largest reservoirs in North China, with a storage capacity of 4.5 billion cubic meters. The reservoir is now mainly the water source for Beijing and is protected by the surrounding rural and urban residents. Around the reservoir are the springs of Bulaotun, large areas of edible flowers, and color-changing plants such as cotinus coggygria. In autumn, the leaves change color, and the mountains and forests around the reservoir are dyed with colors, which is beautiful. In addition, the reservoir's annual opening fish fishing season and the Fish King Festival food event are held, attracting many tourists to taste the food and enjoy the red leaves. A self-driving tour of the reservoir is about 100 kilometers.

Beijing is located in the upper reaches of the wind and water, and the upper reaches of the water must be Miyun Reservoir. The scenery is different throughout the year. The latest Internet celebrity check-in place is the "Miyun Reservoir Auxiliary Dam". The view is very good. I saw many water birds the last time. The scenery is picturesque and worth the trip. Take the "Mi San Road" exit of the Beijing-Chengde Expressway and navigate to the Yunfoshan Ski Resort, and you will pass by the Miyun Reservoir Dam. This is the best place to rest and recuperate when going to and from Gubei Water Town, because when you arrive at the Yunfoshan Ski Resort, you will arrive at the special food street set up by the Miyun government. The biggest feature is eating Miyun Reservoir stove fish. I recommend the "Jiaxiang Yuyuan" Miyun Reservoir stove fish opened by a Beijing uncle. It tastes good, the parking lot is large, and there are small animals in the yard for children to play. There is picking nearby, and there is an Internet celebrity mountaintop tree house. The food and entertainment around Miyun Reservoir are very good. It is worth a visit.

There is a road on the reservoir side. The scenery is particularly good in the afternoon, with mountains and water, especially suitable for watching the sunset in the breeze

There are iron nets around the reservoir, so you can't get close. There are many people taking pictures by the reservoir dam. Cars can only be parked on the roadside, and there are no toilets. You can only look forward to the reservoir food street.

Because it is a water source, you are not allowed to play in the water at the lakeside. You can only stand on the dam and watch from a distance.

I hope the fences around it can be removed. The reservoir must be beautiful if photographed up close. Here is a picture of the opposite side of the reservoir.

During the China-Africa Forum, we went to the north bank of Miyun Reservoir to see the stars

I went to Miyun Reservoir on Thursday after the 2018 typhoon. There was water flowing on the mountain, and there were sporadic small landslides and landslides on the roadside. Workers were cleaning the road. People nearby told me that the soil contained too much water and it was not recommended to go up the mountain. The scenery around the reservoir was beautiful, and there were water birds living in the reservoir.

The panoramic view of Miyun Reservoir is very spectacular, but the mountain road is a bit dangerous, so friends who want to go there should travel with friends.

Miyun Reservoir is very large. We drove along the south line of the reservoir for about 10 minutes and arrived at the main Miyun Reservoir. The reservoir is unexpectedly beautiful, with vast mist and fresh air. The temperature was 35°C that day, but it didn't feel hot standing by the reservoir. The other side of the dam is lush and green, with farmhouses. It's really a beautiful view! Careful observation shows that the water quality is excellent. This is not common in the north. The quality of the dam is first-class, and there are photovoltaic monitoring equipment. The safety management of the dam is first-class, with monitoring, and it is not allowed to stay on the dam. Don't leave anything except the beautiful scenery. The beautiful street lights are equipped with guardrails near the water, and it is not allowed to get close to the water. Across the dam, this village has a huge "water basin" on its head. Looking back at the way I came, the mountains in the background are very green, and the mountains are full of green. From this angle, you can see the beautiful reservoir more clearly, with blue sky and clear water. Thank you Miyun people for maintaining such a good "big water basin"!

I understand protecting water sources. The breeze is cool.

The ultraviolet rays are very strong and I get a very dark tan.

Encountering a rapeseed field? Is it rapeseed? Just assume it is.

The Miyun Reservoir is surrounded by the Yunmeng Mountain Range. The picture below shows the Miyun Reservoir at night with the initial appearance of mist.

In 2016, I followed the navigation and arrived at a village north of the reservoir. I continued walking inside and reached the edge of the reservoir. In 2017, I only found the village following the original route and could not find the entrance. The reservoir had been blocked by barbed wire.

The scenery and road conditions are good, it is a good place to escape the summer heat. Even on a hot day, you will meet many cyclists who come here on weekends.

The sky is blue and the water is clear, and the years are peaceful! I will get up early tomorrow to enjoy the scenery of the reservoir. It is really cold here. It is colder here in the morning and evening than in the city.

Miyun Reservoir is beautiful from many angles in Beijing.

The company's collective office trip is really tiring, but the air here is good and fresh, and we had a lot of fun

As Beijing's largest drinking water resource, it has unique scenery.

There are many attractions around.

The reservoir is very large, you can find a comfortable hotel nearby to stay for two days, barbecue and relax

I went there in January. I first went to Heilongtan from Tianjin and then to Miyun Reservoir. I followed the navigation and drove directly to the vicinity of the reservoir, but the road to the reservoir was blocked. The villagers said there was a gap and people could go in. I found that it looked not far away, but it was actually very far away. The weather was good. I could see mountains and a body of water in the distance. It seemed like the former Qinghai Lake. The village around it was the thousand-year-old town of Bulaotun. I saw farmers drying corn. Life was very comfortable. Living in such an environment is what someone said, "A great hermit is hidden in the city."

The best part of Miyun Reservoir is the dam that you can drive up to. Driving over it is really scary. Although the dam is not that high, you will be worried that you will drive off the track after you get there...

I ran around the reservoir that day just to see where I was closest to the water. In fact, this dam is also a place where a group of motorcycle friends gather, and they often go there~

Miyun Reservoir at dusk. The white fog is vast, the smoke is curling, the sun is setting, and people are on the road.

Miyun Reservoir is located in Miyun County, Beijing. It is one of the main drinking water sources of Beijing and has always been a good place for Beijing citizens to go on weekends. The fish in Miyun Reservoir are very famous. There is a "Reservoir Fish Street" around the reservoir, as well as supporting entertainment and cultural venues such as restaurants and farmhouse accommodation.

Although it is called a reservoir, it is actually very large. The scenery is nice when the weather is good. It is very pleasant to sit on the dam and watch the stars at night.

Famous, just don't let in, this restaurant is worth it.

Miyun Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Asia and is known as the "Pearl of Yanshan Mountain". It is located in Miyun County, northeast of Beijing, among the peaks of Yanling Mountains, crossing the Chaohe and Baihe Rivers. It was built from September 1958 to September 1960, with a total area of ​​1.88 million square kilometers, a water surface of 137,000 mu, and a water depth of 40 to 60 meters. It is divided into three reservoir areas: Baihe River, Chaohe River, and Neihu Lake. The total water storage capacity is 431.7 billion cubic meters, equivalent to 67 Ming Tombs reservoirs or 150 Kunming Lakes. The road around the lake is 110 kilometers, and it takes more than three hours to drive around.

I went to my colleague's house over the weekend. It rained on Saturday but the weather was very good over the weekend. I heard that the reservoir area is under strict control after the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. However, the surrounding scenery and customs are very nice, with green trees and various birds. It is suitable for self-cultivation and relaxation. There are no rough entertainment projects. There are many villa areas around. I ate the reservoir fish that was newly caught that day and the vegetables grown by my own family. The taste was very good and very fresh. I also picked cherries, which were not very ripe. I heard that the picking festival will open soon. I will come again when I have the chance. By the way, I would like to advertise to my friends. Friends who want to go picking can contact him at 15811096851 or 13920387931.

Miyun Reservoir is beautiful all year round. Perhaps it is drinking water, so the surrounding greenery is very good and the vegetation is dense.

Miyun has developed rapidly in recent years. Many city people saw the beautiful scenery around Miyun Reservoir and bought houses in Miyun County. The air here is good, the scenery is beautiful, and what's even more attractive is the farm meals!

Hey! People are really like "Hao Jian"! They work hard just to eat good food, but in the end, they try hard to eat things they didn't like when they were young, such as small mountain pears, wild vegetable pancakes, leek boxes, and rice porridge!!! Everyone is still energetic.

The fish from Miyun Reservoir is delicious, not fishy or earthy. Just add some fried sauce and eat it directly. When it is almost cooked, put some white flour rolls on it. Haha, it is so delicious!!!

Transportation is very convenient nowadays. If you have time, you can take a bus and go back and forth on the same day. Find a nice day and go for a walk.

The greenery is nice and the fish is delicious. But when I come here in spring, the wind blows and I eat a mouthful of poplar catkins, I feel drunk.

It's OK, it's famous, I went there for the fame, just take a look, try to go during the flood season

Other cars parked at the nearby farmyard and then drove down. My family bought a car to drive on this kind of road hahaha! The first picture is a small dam. Now there is no water underneath. It is not a real big dam. The next two are in a village. After eating the farm meal, we drove to the water. It is really difficult to enter without an off-road vehicle. The slope in the middle is very steep and the road is only wide for one car. My dad drove a four-wheel drive in. The weather is good today, and the scenery is amazing! If you come to Miyun Reservoir, you must come to this place to take a few photos! Strongly recommend! One more thing! This village is called [Shimayu Village] and it seems to be called [Zhuanghuyu Village]

Driving along the south bank, there is a dam, a village to the east, and a reservoir to the west. To the west of the reservoir, there are green mountains and a few boats passing by. It seems that you have arrived at the Jiangnan water village. When the sun sets, the water surface is sparkling, which is even more breathtaking. The village is in a low-lying location. Taking pictures from the dam, the scattered houses are very beautiful.

It is also a good choice to go there on weekends to relax. Friends from other places should not come here specially.

Miyun Reservoir was cloudy and foggy when we went there, so the scenery was not very good, but it would have been more beautiful if it was sunny.

The Miyun Reservoir is quite large. You can go up the dam, but there is nothing special about the reservoir itself and you can't go down. There are many places to play around it.

Fish Street, Taoyuan Fairy Valley, Heilongtan Reservoir, etc.

We stopped at Miyun Reservoir for a short while. From this viewing platform, we could only see a small part of Miyun Reservoir. Remember not to buy things from street vendors, they are expensive and the scales are not accurate.

Very beautiful. There are actually many fun places around Beijing.

We passed by Miyun Reservoir quickly. It was dry season and the scene was quite shocking. There were no annoying wires and the color of the water was similar to that of Lake Sainte-Croix in Provence, South France, like a sapphire. If we really waited until the spring when the flowers bloomed and the grass was green, it would probably be a million times more beautiful than what we see now.

Miyun Reservoir is the largest water source in Beijing. It is now under strict management and the area surrounding the reservoir is fenced off, so it is difficult to find a place close to it.

Although the rainfall this year is not as spectacular as in previous years, the scenery is still beautiful and suitable for viewing from a distance;

Miyun Reservoir is the largest and only source of drinking water for Beijing. Miyun Reservoir is the largest artificial lake in Asia and is known as the "Pearl of Yanshan Mountain". Miyun Reservoir specializes in wild Miyun Reservoir fish and is a famous fish town in Beijing. I came to the reservoir from Bulaotun.

The scenery is nice, but it's a pity that you can only see it from the outside. I heard from a friend in Beijing that he comes here every year to eat fish, and he said he knew an entrance that others didn't know about, and you can go in and row a boat. I didn't expect that there were no boats this year, and it was still under construction. How nice it would be if you could row a boat on the lake to see inside? So disappointed.

A quiet and good place, the fish in the reservoir are delicious, the farmyard is small and the taste is good

Because Xiaopu lives in Miyun Reservoir, if we want to ride together I must come to Miyun Reservoir. The air here is good, and the cycling route is of particularly high quality because it is a road around the reservoir. In short, it is a good cycling route.

Miyun Reservoir, the drinking water source for Beijing residents, seems to be decreasing in water storage, but Beijing has had quite a bit of rain in recent years.

Miyun Reservoir, located 13 kilometers north of Miyun County, Beijing, was built in September 1960. It covers an area of ​​180 square kilometers and is 200 kilometers around the reservoir. With a storage capacity of 4 billion cubic meters and an average water depth of 30 meters, Miyun Reservoir is the largest and only source of drinking water for the capital Beijing. There are two major rivers flowing into Miyun Reservoir, namely Baihe River and Chaohe River.

To get to the bank of the reservoir you have to pay money. There were two middle-aged women standing by the provincial road selling tickets, claiming that this was an orchard contracted by their family and that if you wanted to pass you had to pay ten yuan each. After a heated debate the deal was concluded at 3 yuan per person!

On October 26 this year, when I came back from a business trip, I made a special detour to Miyun Reservoir, first to see the reservoir, and secondly, mainly to eat reservoir fish.

The scenery after the rain is very beautiful. It is a real pleasure to drive on the winding mountain road shaded by jungle in the bright sunshine.

Looking at the beautiful scenery where the water and sky merge into one, and gazing at the towering green mountains all around in the distance, I feel that at this moment I am the only one in the world, as if I am standing at the center of the world, with only indescribable emotion and pious worship surging in my heart.

The most beautiful of the reservoirs in Beijing. Blue water, cyan water, bright summer sunshine, a rare good place around Beijing

The Miyun Reservoir is very large, and the water is so clear that you can see the bottom. It is very comfortable to look at. It is also very cool here, and the fresh air makes people feel comfortable.

Miyun Reservoir really did not disappoint us. As soon as we parked the car, we saw the sunshine, the sparkling blue water and the faint oasis on the water surface. I don’t know how many times I have looked at this scenery but I never get tired of it.

The water surface is large and the water quality is clear. I often visit nearby scenic spots and eat reservoir fish.

All drinking water in Beijing comes from here—Miyun Reservoir. It is clean and crystal blue, and the fish in the reservoir are delicious!
