MULANBEI DAM
This dike, built in 1064, has undergone numerous repairs
The Mulanbei Dam, located on the Mulan River, is a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering dating back to 1083, during the Northern Song dynasty. Designed for irrigation, flood protection and salt intrusion, it transformed swampy land into agricultural plains. Irrigating over 9,000 hectares, it still benefits thousands of people. Listed as a historic hydraulic structure, Mulanbei is a testament to ancient Chinese ingenuity, and now attracts visitors curious to explore its architecture.
