Remembering the Reservoir during the Holidays

Traveling together during the holidays is indeed one of the joys of life. A few like-minded friends, as long as they can make up the time, have an outdoor photoshoot, it will be as enjoyable as it is!

That time, we were walking in the Jiukeng River Reservoir in Dinghu District, Zhaoqing. Jiukenghe Reservoir was built in 1958. It is located in Fenghuang Town, with a water collection area of ??145 square kilometers and an effective storage capacity of 49.6 million cubic meters.

On a windless morning, the reflections along the way are picturesque, with the lakes and mountains complementing each other. When the wind blows, it ruffles the clear water of the lake and stirs your heartstrings.

The car travels on the winding mountain road, and each section of the road has a different scenery. The weather in the mountains is cloudy and sunny. Often, with one turn, you will be on the shady side of the scorching sun. At the next turn, you will see the sun shining through the intertwined branches and leaves onto the road, creating variegated patterns. The intoxicating beauty is watching the sun's side light reflected on the lake in the breeze, making waves. Especially early in the morning, the golden sunshine penetrates the water mist, and I feel like I have reached the overseas fairy mountains, and the mist is vast in an instant, both real and illusory. The four-season scenery in the mountains is definitely the first choice for photography enthusiasts, but the lens can never express what the eyes see.

The car carried laughter and laughter all the way, and the mountain opened its generous heart to accept us. This mountain road is rarely visited by tourist groups, mainly local villagers and uninvited guests like us. Running freely along the mountain road, we unexpectedly discovered a quiet treasure on the top of the mountain.

Fresh air, transparent lake water, and free-flying birds. We dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the proud man in the tree. But as soon as we stepped into the grassland of the grove, we heard a few flutters in the air, which still alarmed them.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment. Sometimes we need to liberate ourselves from the complexity and noise. This unexpected discovery became the highlight of the entire trip. We didn't stay too long as we were checking out a spot. When we left, we met two staff members. It turned out that they had just rented this area, and not many people knew about it at the time.

At noon, we went down the mountain along the same route and found a food stall at the foot of the mountain to eat. Most self-driving travelers rested here. Some villagers have set up a B&B, and the environment is not bad. We took the opportunity to walk around and take photos.

“Clear mountains and clear waters are mountains of gold and silver”, which is the most precious wealth. Thanks to the great project of building the reservoir and the generation that built it, we are still drinking its water today.

In the evening, we left the reservoir. As night falls, the continuous mountains in the distance are dark in color, the water and sky are the same color, and the mist is lingering. The lights in the village are dotted, like a fairyland shrouded in twilight. Goodbye, some beauty should be kept in the heart.
