The Ming Tombs Reservoir, located in Changping District, Beijing, was built in 1958. After more than 60 years of development, it has developed into a comprehensive water conservancy facility integrating flood control and water supply for power generation of the Ming Tombs Storage Power Plant. It is a national water conservancy scenic spot, a patriotism education base in Beijing and Changping District. The Ming Tombs Reservoir was called on to be built by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the CPC Central Committee, in 1958, and was successfully completed on June 30 of the same year. The total storage capacity of the reservoir is 74.5 million cubic meters. The reservoir dam is built between Mangshan Mountain and Hanbao Mountain. It is a clay inclined wall earth rock dam with a total length of 627 meters, the maximum dam height of 29 meters, and the dam crest width of 7.5 meters. On the outer slope of the dam, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote five characters of "the Ming Tombs Reservoir", which were inlaid with white marble blocks on the purple andesite slope protection. It was very spectacular. The Ming Tombs Reservoir is a mountain basin reservoir, surrounded by towering mountains, especially the towering Mangshan Mountain on the north bank. The broad water surface reflects the mountains, giving people the feeling of "high gorges make flat lakes". At the junction between the foot of the mountain and the water surface, there are many bays, which are quiet and pleasant. In the middle and upper reaches of the reservoir, there are large terraces and slopes on both banks. The water surface is stable and the water depth changes little. The water surface is affected by the width, depth and different environmental colors, showing different landscape effects. In the upper reaches of the reservoir, the water surface is wide, the bank slope is gentle, and the vision is wide. The fruit forests and imperial tombs dotted between the distant mountains and the near water add a layer of hazy color.
