Bayi Lake

Bayi Lake

Bayi lake was dredged into a lake in 1773 to receive water from Xiangshan river. In addition, a sluice was built at Xiakou to store and discharge water from the lake. The river was diverted from Sanli River to Fuchengmen moat.

brief introduction

There is a palace in the East. The lake is silted up and overgrown with weeds. After liberation, with the Yongding River water diversion project, a new lake of about 10 hectares was dug in the old Hunan, which is like a gourd and named Bayi lake.

Bayi lake is located outside Fucheng gate in Beijing, adjacent to Diaoyutai in the East and the Third Ring Road in the West. It is about 1.7 km long from east to west and covers an area of 137 hectares, half of which is water surface. The trees are full of shade. It is one of the larger parks in the suburbs of Beijing. "Ming Yi Tong Zhi" records: "Yuyuan pool is in the west of Fu, the old pool of Ding family in Yuan Dynasty, surrounded by LiuDi, which is prosperous and full of sand birds and waterfowls. It's a place to visit beautiful women." Because of the low-lying terrain here, the mountains and waters in Xishan area accumulate here. There is an experimental hydropower station in the downstream. After the construction of Miyun Reservoir in 1960, the diversion canal from Kunming Lake to Yuyuantan at the south end of the diversion project converged with Yongding River Diversion Canal at luodaozhuang and flowed into the moat through Yuyuantan. In recent years, great efforts have been made to build the park, build the road around the lake, and build the corridor point view buildings in the park, gradually enriching the park. Yuyuantan is not only a place with pleasant scenery, quiet environment and dense trees, but also plays a role of water diversion and flood regulation in Beijing water conservancy projects.

In addition, Bayi lake is now with Yuyuantan Park, and there is a TV Tower in the lake.
