Recently, the levee of Futou Lake has been reconstructed in Bazikou, Xiangyanghu Town, Xian’an District. Tourists play and enjoy the lake view on the upper reaches of the newly built waterfront path from time to time.

Futou Lake, located at the junction of Jiayu County, Jiangxia District and Xian’an District, is the fourth largest lake in Hubei Province.

Xian’an District started to implement the water ecological restoration project of Futou Lake (Dahuzhou section) in 2020, with a total investment of 178.471 million yuan. So far, more than 6000 mu of fish ponds have been reclaimed to the lake. The lake line (1.41km) regulation project of Xiangyang Lake embankment on the left bank of Gan River and part of the ecological waterfront path project have been completed.

After the completion of the whole project, it will effectively improve the ecological environment of Futou Lake, restore the flood storage and regulation capacity, and further enhance the safety and security of flood control in the lake area. (Photo by Wu Tao/Xianning Daily)
