What Guests Are Saying

The feedback from the reviews posted on travel sites is always positive, and travellers can't help but be impressed at how a working water project has become a very picturesque and tranquil place to visit. The Fish Mouth levee and the roaring Feishayan spillway are both quoted by many visitors as being awe-inspiring; the crossing of the historic Anlan suspension bridge is reported as exciting and scenic. Some guests mention the apparent lack of enough interpretive signage onsite -- it would be a nice addition to have a guide or a voice-guide. One of the most common practical tips across the reviews: get there before the tour groups to enjoy the pathways.
