Qiandao Lake is Xin 'anjiang Reservoir. The reservoir was built in 1950s, with a dam height of105m and a length of 462m. The length of the reservoir is about150km, and the widest part exceeds10km. The deepest part exceeds 100 meter. The area under normal water level is about 580 square kilometers, which is 104 times larger than Hangzhou West Lake, and the water storage capacity can reach 178 billion cubic meters, which is more than 3000 times larger than Hangzhou West Lake. This big reservoir is not only magnificent in spirit, but also spectacular in scenery. There are 398 ordinary islands and 1078 large and medium-sized islands scattered all over the reservoir. It is famous for its towering mountains, clear lakes and dotted islands, which are both like the vast smoke and waves of Taihu Lake and the beautiful charm of West Lake.
The clouds cleared away and the wonderful colors on the lake gradually emerged. Not green, not blue, like green and blue. Just like Bai Juyi's "Good Jiangnan" and "Riverside is as green as blue".
Qiandao Lake is wide, with blue sky and scattered islands. The big island is like a mountain, and the small island is like a boat. It is crisp and dripping, like pieces of jasper half immersed in the lake. Because there are few plankton in the water, the lake is as clear as a mirror, and because of the water depth, it looks green as jade.
