The reservoir boasts a vast surface area, with the main body stretching approximately 2.1 kilometers northeast-southwest and 0.7 kilometers northwest-southeast.

The entire reservoir area is shrouded in emerald peaks and shimmering blue waters, its surface area resembling a lake, with islands nestled within forests.

The reservoir has a significant influence in Jingdezhen, attracting locals frequently visiting for sightseeing, fishing, and other leisure activities.
