Morning light by the lake—Tunjiang Reservoir
Tunjiang Reservoir is located in Tunliu County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, and is named after it blocks the Jiang River. Jianghe River is the largest tributary of the south source of Zhuozhang River, Houhe River, which is the inlet of Jianghe River into Zhangze Reservoir. Tunjiang Reservoir was built in 1958 and has a storage capacity of over 40 million. Although it is only one-tenth the size of Zhangze Reservoir, its beautiful environment and clear water attract a large number of fishermen.
On May 26, 2018, early Saturday morning, we gathered from the Taiyuan Changfeng East Exit Expressway and arrived at Qiaochu Villa in Zhangdian Town, Tunliu County in more than three hours. The villa covers an area of more than 200 acres and is located on one side of the reservoir. It has mountains, water and fields, and it has a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
The manor is in its early stages, with only one glass viewing room and two or three yurts. Walnut trees can be seen everywhere, and wild vegetables are abundant, which is exciting. You can have a bonfire party in the evening, take a boat ride in the morning, and go fishing in the afternoon to relax and watch the clear water of the lake. Everywhere you look is green and shining. Even the glass house where we live still has poplar stumps and bright poplar buds sprouting out.
When morning comes, the first thing that wakes us up is the sound of chickens and geese and the barking of dogs in the village in the distance. It is really a beautiful pastoral scene. Facing the morning sun, the lake water is rippling with silver light, majestic and especially comfortable.
Do a set of radio gymnastics and Baduanjin to the music, breathe the clear air, sweet and pure, take a big breath in the sunshine. Breakfast is the most common local thick rice, also called thick porridge. It's just very thick millet porridge, like porridge and rice, paired with a big pot of shredded potatoes, it's perfect.
The water surface is bathed in sunshine, the fields are bathed in sunshine, we are bathed in sunshine, and the tall poplar trees are also shrouded in sunshine...
According to reports, a giant salamander was discovered in Tunjiang Reservoir recently. Since the first discovery of the giant salamander in July 2015, the giant salamander has appeared again.
The giant salamander has particularly high requirements for its living environment. It generally lives in dark, fast, and cool streams. It requires a survival temperature of below 25 degrees Celsius, and has very high requirements for water quality and living environment. In recent years, Tunliu County has increased the protection of water resources, comprehensively launched the construction of ecological civilization, and carried out centralized environmental pollution control in a solid and effective manner! The rare giant salamander appears in Tunjiang Reservoir, which fully demonstrates the excellent ecological environment and water quality of Tunjiang Reservoir.
Reluctant to leave on the return journey, don’t repeat the words again and again. It’s a good place to come again, three times, many times!
