Why is Qiandao Lake called Green Qiandao Lake?

Qiandao Lake has a forest area of ​​448 square kilometers, and the forest coverage rate has reached 81%. The dense forest has purified the first-class atmospheric environment of Qiandao Lake. The vast Qiandao Lake, with an area of ​​573 square kilometers and a water volume of 17.8 billion cubic meters, has an average water depth of 34 meters and a transparency of 7 meters. In 1959, the lake was formed by building a dam to store water for the construction of the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station. There are 1,078 islands in the lake, each with its own unique appearance. Therefore, Qiandao Lake is also called the Green Qiandao Lake.
