The lake covers an area of 31 million square meters, and the mountains in the lake area are known as "plant kingdom".

The cliff on both sides of the valley is towering, and a stream flows along the bottom of the valley.

The most attractive place here is the variety of woody plants.

Cause of formation

Doushui lake is formed by the construction of Shangyoujiang hydropower station. Its water area is 31 square kilometers, 40 times larger than Hangzhou West Lake. The lake is surrounded by mountains, forming 264 kilometers of shoreline, 427 bays, and 42 islands in the center of the lake. The open part of the lake is more than 500 meters in length and breadth, with a wide view and flat waves. The narrow part is less than 10 meters, and only one boat can pass through. Later, the state successively built power stations such as luobian and Longtan on the Shangyou River, forming a magnificent landscape of "one line goes through five pearls, one river connects five lakes", with high gorge, flat lake, hundreds of miles of smoke waves; islands and harbors, row upon row; fire trees and silver flowers, and golden dragons all over the river, which added brilliant brilliance to the landscape of the Youjiang river.

Main attractions

Nature Museum

When you look at doushui lake from afar, you can see that it is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are reflected in the lake. The scenery of the lake is beautiful. When you look near, the lake is like silk and satin, quiet and traceless. Occasionally, the wind generates oblique waves, ripples, and touches people's heart. Due to the excellent vegetation around the lake and the lake water close to the source, the water of doushui lake is more green and clear. In order to optimize the ecological environment of doushui lake, 215576 mu of mountainous areas within 2.5 km of both sides of doushui lake have been nationalized by the state, and resettlement and closing hillsides for afforestation have been implemented to better protect the ecological resources. Due to decades of Closing Hillsides for afforestation, there are well preserved coniferous mixed forest and evergreen broad-leaved forest on both sides of doushui lake, which are lush and green all the year round. The most beautiful place is granite cliff, with strange rock wing shape, uneven situation, stone crevice cavity, oblique ancient wood, cangxiu numerous draped, vines hanging, clouds penetrating its branches, stones protecting its roots, trees on the top of the stone, stones on the top of the tree, water reflecting the wall, and fishing songs echoing. In particular, Gannan arboretum, located in the depth of doushui lake, is known as the middle subtropical plant kingdom. It is a natural museum. Now there are more than 1700 kinds of woody plants planted on the island, nearly 10000 plant specimens collected, 52 kinds of rare and endangered plants in the world growing. It has formed a special pine, fir and bamboo forest, star anise forest, Cinnamomum camphora forest, and established Taohua Island, Lihua Island, etc. The whole Arboretum is green and fragrant, where you can breathe the clean air with high concentration of negative oxygen ions and enjoy the natural "forest bath".

Doushui lake is mild and humid in four seasons, with no severe cold in winter and no severe summer in summer. This climate is suitable for people's leisure and holiday, and is conducive to the reproduction of wild animals. In 1995, with the approval of Jiangxi provincial government, doushui lake was listed as a provincial scenic spot, determined as a green eco-tourism spot in Ganzhou City, presenting a magical and elegant beautiful mountain for the eco-tourism industry in Jiangxi and Gannan. In 2004, doushui lake was listed as a national forest park.

Gannan Arboretum

Gannan arboretum, a "Forest Island of rare trees" built on the North Bank of doushui lake, is a "protection island" of rare and endangered plants in the world. Adjacent to the arboretum is the ancient folk custom island. The "folk custom garden" hidden in this isolated island is like museums in the virgin forest. The "Renyao dance", the "Zhugan dance" of the Dai nationality and the "Lusheng dance" of the Miao nationality are incredible Green culture and folk art, which integrates folk performance and forest leisure, are performed in different styles of "thatched cottages". Not far from the folk custom island is "Taiji Bafeng bay", where there is a "Station Museum". It completely retains the original features of the forest railway terminal in Jiangxi and Youzhou in the 20th century. This narrow gauge railway, known as the "World Tourism treasure", starts from Ganzhou and passes through the tunnel of time reversal, letting tourists leisurely enjoy the touch of steam and whistle and regain the past years.

After Taiji Bagua Bay, Yingqian ruins, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, are located. This ancient town, which is well preserved and still has the ancient style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is still a representative of the ancient Hakka market town in southern Jiangxi Province.

The well-known wuzhifeng is next to yingqianxu. It is a finger like mountain range with five places straddling Hunan and Jiangxi. They all show their personality in their own way. In this, the spectacular "flying down 3000 feet" can be seen everywhere. The fierce water cut the stone mountains into strange birds and monsters. Doushui Buddha waterfall, 1km away from doushuiwei, is hidden in the cliffs of Xilong gorge. From doushui Town, you pass by the Guizhu villa of Songjin bamboo rhyme. Along the winding path, you climb up to the mouth of Longtan. The sound of the waterfall is heard. Looking up, the waterfall is 100 meters high. The waterfall is like the lower boundary of the white dragon. Close to you, you can see that in the misty water curtain, there seems to be a sitting Buddha taking a shower It got its name.

Under the joint action of forest, lake water, sunshine and climate, doushui lake has formed a colorful and changeable meteorological landscape. Especially in the evening, the water vapor on the lake rises slowly, and begins to form fog flocs, which flow up the treetops, then form fog mass, rush into the canyon, and finally form fog sea, which surrounds all the mountains and the surrounding world. It is ethereal and transient, just like a fairyland. It shows a pure natural beauty, a beauty without carving.
