Longquan Lake, originally known as Jianyang Shipan Reservoir, was constructed by the people of Jianyang in 1979 as a medium-sized storage reservoir. It is located 38 kilometers north of Chengdu city center, 17 kilometers south of Jiancheng, and 28 kilometers west of Sancha Lake, adjacent to the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway.
The lake has a unique shape resembling a dragon, covering an area of 5.5 square kilometers with 54 kilometers of lake shoreline. It features 14 islands of various shapes and sizes, as well as a ‘ten-mile-long gorge’ at the lake’s tail, creating a picturesque scene of mountains and waters, akin to a ‘fairy pool’ on earth. The scenic area, themed around peach blossoms, integrates mountains, water, and vegetation into a pleasant natural landscape.
