Introduction to scenic spots

Two or three million years ago, Lushan was in the Quaternary glacial period. At that time, it was the largest Valley for accumulating ice and snow. There is a Lulin bridge on the lake, which is 30 meters high. The bridge and dam are integrated to block water and form a lake.

Surrounded by mountains and green pines and cypresses, the scenery of Lulin lake is beautiful. It used to be a Lushan valley with lush reeds and wild animals, between the two peaks of Yuping and Xingzhou.

In 1954, a dam was built between the two peaks to store water, and it was completed the next year.

The dam is 32 meters high, 120 meters long and 12 meters wide, covering an area of 90000 square meters and storing 1.2 million cubic meters of water.

The lake water is clean and clear. It is as clear as a mirror. The mountains reflect each other. In the center of the lake, there are two pavilions, beautiful and exquisite in appearance, which add luster to the surface of the lake. Inside, they are used as a water pumping tower and a spillway respectively.

At present, the water stored in Lulin lake is the main water source for 13000 residents in Guling Town, Lushan.

Mao Zedong swam in the lake many times before he died.

In 1993, the "stele garden of Mao Zedong's Poems" was built at Qiaotou to commemorate his 100th birthday.

The stele is engraved with Mao Zedong's handwriting "denglushan", "title immortal cave" and many ancient poems.

Lulin bridge is built on the dam face of Lulin lake. The dam, with a volume of 30000 cubic meters, is made of a mixture of stone and cement.

There are five holes in the upper part of the bridge. When the flood overflows, the five holes spout like five dragons roaring down, becoming a magnificent artificial waterfall.

This view can be seen from the "Jiaolu bridge". Jiaolu bridge is located at the bottom of the valley beside the dam. It can be reached by stepping on the stone steps in the south of the bridge and going down more than 100 steps.
