Changshou-Hu (Lake Changshou) is a man-made lake with another name Shizitun (Lion Beach) Reservoir. For generating electric power, four hydraulic power stations were built after damming in the 1950's. Since then a state farm was set up for fishery and horticulture as well as animal husbandry. The irrigation area amounts to 24,800 hectares (Q).
