Ming Tombs Reservoir It is located in Changping District, Beijing. The dam of the reservoir is built between Mangshan Mountain and Hanbao Mountain, which is of inclined wall type. 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 mountains, especially the towering Mangshan Mountain on the north bank. The broad water surface reflects the mountains, giving a 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.

Tourist evaluation ：
The water here is very clear and the environment is particularly good. It is a reservoir near Beijing, which can also be barbecued. It is a good place to play. It is the nearest reservoir to the north. The Ming Tombs Reservoir is a key project in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Zhang Guangdou of Tsinghua University and a number of other senior leaders of water conservancy projects participated in the design. Mao Zedong and many other national leaders also came to work on the site. It seems to be too small now. With climate change, the water storage has declined, and there is also pollution. It is no longer the main source of drinking water in Beijing.
