Taohua River[1]
The Taohua River is 45 kilometers long, including 10.6 kilometers in Lingchuan, with a total drainage area of 321.9 square kilometers, including 119.23 square kilometers in Lingchuan.The river is 45 meters wide, and the bottom is full of silt.
The river is characterized by many bends, wide and narrow river surface, many weirs and dams, very gentle slope, large runoff, and often supported by Lijiang River flood. Therefore, waterlogging disasters are frequent and serious along the river.[3]

The main stream is 65.0km long, and the drainage area is 298km2.The terrain of the basin is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with an average elevation of 255 meters and an average gradient of 0.92 ‰ in the main stream.The average annual rainfall of the basin is 1900~2000 mm, the maximum flow is 840 cubic meters per second (1885), the measured minimum flow is 0.66 cubic meters per second (1972), and the average annual flow is 11.6 cubic meters per second.There are Miaoling Rainfall Station (built in 1964) and Taohua River Water Level Station (built in 1972) in the basin.
Taohua River Landscape
The Taohua River flows through the urban area of Guilin for 18.4km, and there are mostly mountains along both sides of the river valley. Except for some sandstones, most areas are limestone, with brown lime soil developed.The terrain along both banks of the river is open and flat, and the farmland is crisscross. The ground elevation is between 148.0 and 151.0 meters, which is easy to be submerged in flood.The river width is generally 50~60 meters, and the riverbed depth is 5~6 meters. The riverbed gradient is 0.5 ‰ from Wuxianba to Feiluan Bridge, and 0.4 ‰ from Feiluan Bridge to Nanmen Bridge.The water surface gradient of flood is 0.22~0.33 ‰.[2]

water conservancy project
In 1375 (the eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty), the city was expanded, and the nearest Nanmen Bridge from the Taohua River to the Lijiang River was excavated toXiangshanA section of city trench.This section of artificial river is 1200 meters long, the maximum width is more than 30 meters, and the narrowest part is 23 meters. It becomes a perennial river channel where the Taohua River flows into the Lijiang River.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, people along the river built dams to block water along the river bed. There were 28 rockfill dams on the river reach in the urban area of Guilin, including Yanpo Dam, Tingjiang Dam, Yangjiang Dam, Shuinan Dam, Yanzi Dam, Manjiang Dam, Chentou Dam, Quantang Siba, Litou Dam, Tangjiaba, Beichong Erba, Gongjiaba, Songjiaba, Wushan Dam, JinjiabaThere are 20 Shiziyan Dam, Majiaba Dam, Yeheba Dam, Biziyuan Dam and Hongqiao Dam.[2]
By the beginning of the 21st century, there will be 6 reservoirs in the basins above the urban area of Guilin, including medium-sized reservoirs（Jinling Reservoir）1, 4 small (I) type and 1 small (II) type, with a total storage capacity of 24.28 million cubic meters and a total control area of 35.45 square kilometers, accounting for 12% of the drainage area.[2]
Taohua River drainage project is located between Tashan and Lehe village offices in Miaoling Township.The upper reaches of the Taohua River are mountainous areas with steep terrain.The middle and lower reaches are flat, the river channel is curved, and the riverbed is flat.The river reach of Tashan and Lehe Village Office is narrow, and the river channel is blocked by beaches, bridges and dams, so the water flow is not smooth.When the flood came, 4500 mu farmland and 9 villages on both banks were flooded.The project was started in 1975 and completed in 1980.The state invested 556600 yuan to build 8.4km flood levees and 5 4.6km high discharge canals.3 river bends were straightened, and 11 flood discharge gates were built.8 electric irrigation stations with 11 installed capacity of 417 kW will be built.414200 cubic meters of earthwork, 50 cubic meters of stonework, 3900 cubic meters of dry masonry, 2500 cubic meters of mortar masonry, 475 cubic meters of concrete and 578800 working days were completed.2500 mu of farmland on the right bank has benefited.The left bank of the project was originally planned to build a 3.3km flood embankment, 4 flood sluices, 4 power drainage stations, and 5 sets of installed capacity of 215 kW.It requires 79400 man days and 216800 yuan of national investment. Due to limited financial resources, the project could not be started.Due to the completion of the right bank project, 2000 mu of farmland on the left bank was waterlogged more seriously than when the right bank project was not built, which was a suspended project and urgently needed to be resumed.[4]
Tourism development
Taohua River[1]
In the Song Dynasty, the Taohua River became a major waterway for sightseeing because of its beautiful scenery.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the boats and colored boats on the river shuttled back and forth, gathering a moment of prosperity.Later, Reed Flute Park, Shiziyuan Rock Park and Xishan Park were built along the Taohua River.The Taohua River flows through limestone areas with clear water. From Feiluan Bridge to Shengli Bridge, the water flow is gentle, bright and clean as a mirror, and there are peak forests along the bank.On both sides of the Peach Blossom River, oleander is like fire, farmland is like embroidery, and Zhongyin, Lion, Qingxiu and Jiashan stand tall.The moon night scenery is more beautiful. "Yangjiang Autumn Moon" is one of the eight unique scenes in ancient Guilin.Someone praised the Taohua River: "It is not like the Lijiang River, but better than the Lijiang River".[5]
