The origin of Baiyangdian lake

Baiyangdian, located in the hinterland of Beijing and Tianjin, has a long history and rich cultural heritage. As the largest inland lake in Hebei Province, Baiyangdian Lake endows the vast North China Plain with spirituality and is known as the Pearl of North China. Due to its unique ecological and geographical advantages, Baiyangdian has long been a natural sanatorium for dignitaries and an oxygen-enriched back garden. Now China's economy is rising rapidly, and there are more and more middle classes with spending power. They urgently need high-quality natural ecological areas to meet the needs of tourism, vacation and old-age care. In this context, Han Jing Real Estate, a health industry operator, is building an innovative demonstration zone covering health care, leisure and pension, and tourism in Baiyangdian, and is committed to giving full play to the local ecological advantages and benefiting the people of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

As early as the Neolithic Age, there were people living in Baiyangdian area. According to Shan Hai Jing, the oldest geography book in China, Baiyangdian was the old course of the Yellow River in ancient times. At that time, there were mountains and graves everywhere in the Central Plains. Dayu harnessed water, dug rivers and led floods into the sea. The last stop is Baiyangdian, and the surging Yellow River silts up around Baiyangdian and flows out of Jizhong Plain.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancient Yellow River diverted southward, but some tributaries did not divert with the diversion of the Yellow River and still poured into Baiyangdian Lake. There are nine such rivers, laying the pattern of "the bottom nine rivers" in Baiyangdian. Yang was a famous soldier in Song Dynasty. He once stationed troops here to defend Liao country and defeated Han Chang. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong visited Baiyangdian more than 40 times and built four palaces. Emperor Kangxi also left a poem, "I traveled far and vaguely camped in wuyue".
