Itinerary description

A short segment of a longer late November 2022 shoreline walk. Passing the impressive dam and irrigation works constructed under the Manchuko State (Capital city Changchun).

Waypoints

Early winter bird spotting

One photo shows two colourful November birds, magpie size, with long bright turquoise tail feathers.

Frozen Lakeshore

The lake/reservoir, late November

Will be frozen over in a few weeks.

Manchuko irrigation system

An impressive engineering achievement, shows one positive aspect of the Japanese Occupation Plans for NE China. This track is only a small segment on the west end, a Map Photo suggests a much greater extent of the walking paths around the area.

Along the Lakeshore, Japanese pumping station

West end of dam

There is a monument about Zhao Shangzhi, a leader of Mao's Red Army, who opposed the Japanese occupation, his head is buried somewhere in the forest nearby.

Green Pine Tower

The track ascends along small forest paths from the east end of the damsite. The open November forest is very accessible. The descending stairway was ice and snow covered in November and the Tower was closed for the winter.
