More than 50 years ago, Chairman Mao Zedong proposed the grand idea of South-to-North Water Diversion, and construction of the Danjiangkou Dam began immediately. It was not until more than 30 years ago that it was officially renamed Danjiangkou City.
If history is the bones and blood of a city, then the current situation is the soul of the city. Today, Danjiangkou has quietly turned around in the long river of history, becoming "China's water capital", "Asia's Tianchi", and a shining national tourism card in the northwest corner of Hubei.

DAY1: Entering Danjiangkou
Danjiang Taiji Gorge Scenic Area passes through Danjiangkou and has a long history of thousands of years. There are many legends and stories circulating, one of which is about Taiji Gorge. According to legend, this is the place where Emperor Zhenwu Tian Xuan lived in seclusion and practiced cultivation! There is no way to verify the legend, but Taiji Gorge is really a geomantic treasure.
Enter the Taiji Gorge Scenic Area, stroll along the plank road and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The abundant negative oxygen ions along the way make people feel refreshed. Looking down from a high place, there are green warehouses everywhere, full of life.
When you climb up to Guanji Pavilion, you can see two large S-shaped mountains, Qinglong and Huanglong. Looking around, you will find that the leading parts of the two mountains are surrounded and nestled together, forming a natural and lifelike natural "Tai Chi diagram", which is heroic and magical.
The road paving between mountains and rivers is also quite unique, and each section has a different flavor.
Now, will you think of the plum blossom pile in martial arts?
When visiting Taiji Gorge, in addition to the mountains and rivers, you cannot miss the cliffs on both sides of the ravine.
After years of rain erosion, every inch of these exposed red rocks has its own unique Danxia landform.
If the font does not reach the Great Wall, it is not a true man. A trip to Danjiangkou is in vain without tasting Danjiangkou fish.
As the "Water Capital of China", there is no doubt that Danjiangkou's water quality is good. It is the water source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and is also one of the high-quality water sources for the well-known mineral water brand known as Nature Porter. Danjiang fish grew up drinking those "a little sweet" mineral water. The good growing environment and high-quality water source make the fish here tender and delicious, without any muddy smell.
For our first dinner in Danjiangkou, we went to Zhoujun Fishing Port for a full fish feast.
Qiaozuibai, also known as white fish or big white fish, has a slow growth cycle, but is rich in nutrients and has tender meat. It has the reputation of "the most rare fish in the Yangtze River". This table is full of fish feast. For this kind of fish alone, we need two portions per table, one steamed and one fried. Different ways have different flavors.
Full Fish Feast
Danjiangkou Dam
The 700-square-kilometer original ecological reservoir is intercepted by an east-west dam. It is really a high-gorge flat lake. shape. The Danjiangkou Dam tourist area has also become the largest artificial freshwater lake in Asia.
Now, standing on the Danjiangkou Dam, the water and sky are the same color, beautiful.
Here, there is also the title of Asia’s “Jasper Tianchi”.
Bishui Qiandao Gallery is a viewing platform located on the Huanku Highway, the most beautiful highway in China.
Looking from a distance, the sky is blue, the road is like ribbons, the mountains are lush, the rivers and mountains are right, and the scenery is particularly unique.
When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can look around at the endless Thousand Island Gallery. The sky is the same color, coiled between pale green mountains. There is water at the foot of the mountain, and there are mountains in the water. Mountains and rivers depend on each other, and water and sky connect each other.
DAY2: A deep tour of Danjiangkou
Canglangzhou Wetland Park
If Thousand Islands Gallery is a pastoral picture, Canglangzhou Ecological Wetland Park should be regarded as one City oxygen bar.
Dingdang House
Jingle Palace, the first of the nine palaces in Wudang Mountain, was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. However, in 1958, due to the construction of Danjiangkou Conservancy Project, Jingle Palace and the original Zhoujun Ancient City were submerged in the reservoir. What I see now is what it looked like after the original reconstruction.
Gongjing has a quiet environment and pleasant scenery. To the east is the Wudang Mountain Taoist College, which is the only four-year regular Taoist college in Central, South, Southwest and South China.
Wudang Mountain Spring Water Factory
Good mountains and good water are sweet. Danjiangkou not only transports 100% of good water that meets the national second-level standards to thousands of households in the north, but also produces products such as Wudang Mountain Spring. Starting from Jingle Palace, we visited the Wudang Mountain Spring Factory, visited the entire production and filling process, and tasted the sweet Wudang Mountain Spring.
Canglanghai stepped down the stairs. From here you can see the panoramic view of the Danjiangkou Dam, reaching directly to the Canglang Sea, known as the Little Pacific Ocean.
Sunshine, beach, speedboats, dazzling blue water, children digging in the sand, and beauties under sun umbrellas, when you are here, you will have the illusion of being at the beach every minute.
Go to Baixi Island, enjoy the "island scenery" of rippling blue waves, and enjoy a pleasant leisure time. The blue peacock is the king of birds, which is also leisurely and beautiful.
The three-day and two-night trip to Danjiangkou ended with the fragrance of tea. This road is like tea in a glass of water, with beautiful appearance and endless aftertaste. Such a beautiful Danjiangkou will be firmly fixed forever and become a beautiful memory that cannot be erased from my mind.
