Did the ancient poets, who found such inspiration along the Li River, ever imagine the Shangguixia Shuiku? This reservoir, nestled amidst Guilin’s famed karst landscape, is a modern marvel. Shangguixia Shuiku, with its calm waters reflecting the dramatic peaks, offers a different perspective on this celebrated scenery. Guilin, meaning “Forest of Sweet Osmanthus,” is known for its natural beauty. The Li River winds through the city, inspiring countless works of art and literature. But Shangguixia Shuiku offers a unique experience. It captures the essence of Guilin’s landscape in a still, reflective form. Imagine the cormorant fishermen, a tradition still practiced on the Li River, casting their lines near the shores of Shangguixia Shuiku. The reservoir likely attracts many of the 300 bird species found in the Guilin area. Perhaps hikers, descending from the Longji Rice Terraces or exploring the Seven Star Park, stop at Shangguixia Shuiku for a moment of quiet contemplation. The reservoir’s tranquility contrasts with the bustling city life of Guilin, offering a peaceful escape. While the city boasts vibrant nightlife and international film festivals, Shangguixia Shuiku provides a sanctuary. As the sun sets, casting long shadows over the karst mountains and their reflection in the placid waters of Shangguixia Shuiku, one can appreciate the enduring beauty of Guilin. The reservoir stands as a testament to the city’s ability to blend tradition and modernity, nature and human ingenuity.
