Miyun Reservoir
Miyun Reservoir ("Miyun" means "Dense Clouds", ) is a large-scale reservoir in the People's Republic of China, located 16 kilometers north of the Miyun District in Beijing, straddling the Chaohe River (潮河) and Baihe River (白河). There are two major rivers flowing into the reservoir, namely the Bai River and the Chao River. The reservoir was formally completed on September 1, 1960. 

Miyun Reservoir is the largest comprehensive water conservancy project in North China. The reservoir covers an area of 180 square kilometers, with a reservoir capacity of 4 billion cubic meters and an average depth of 30 meters, making it the largest and only source of drinking-water supply for Beijing, serving over 11 million people.

Miyun Reservoir is the largest artificial lake in Asia and is billed as the "Pearl in North China" (华北明珠).
