After visiting the southern part of my living place Huairou City, I am moving to far north of the Beijing Municipal. As Beijing is a vast municipal most of the parts are not like a normal megacity and the northern part of the Beijing Municipal is covered with hundreds of mountains and many lakes. I am lucky enough to live in the nearest city Miyun City which contains the biggest lake in Beijing Municipal known as the Miyun Reservoir. In most of the northern section of Beijing Municipal, most of the explorable Great Wall is located in this area also where most of the tourists, especially the foreigners visit only these areas. But there is more to discover in these mountains. My living place is around 70 km north of the city center and today I am going to talk about this great lake in the district of Miyun which is farther than 30 km north from my living place place Huairou.
Dear @tanzil2024 !
Hassan!
This is my first time hearing about Miyun City and Miyun Reservoir!
Is Miyun Reservoir a lake that provides clean water to the people of Beijing?
Miyun Reservoir is amazing because it is as big as the ocean!

For East Asians like me, Dongting Lake (Chinese: 洞庭湖) is the most famous!
By the way, You seem thinner than before!😄
It is the largest lake in Beijing Municipal and very important for sustainable water supply in the city. There are many small channels to take the water around the area from the lake. It was my first visit to explore the great water body, and tomorrow I will also visit another point of this great lake as tomorrow is Sunday✌️.
It is very beautiful as the surrounding of the lake contains so many mountains to make the landscape amazing from every direction!
Thanks for reading my post.
Hassan!
Is there a big lake like that in Bangladesh?
No, we have many reivers, some areas become like the lake as a more bigger water body due to the heavy monsoons. We have also many man-made canals fro the rivers for irrigation purposes. And we have a huge source of underground fresh water so we don't need such big man-made water reservoir but govt. is trying have in some areas where India is not allowing water as the rule of International Rivers as most of ther rivers entering Bangladesh from India and they are building hundreds of damns for hydroelectricity production and their agricultural purposes.
I remember that the Ganges River is more fertile than the Indus River. So, Bengal was the richest in the Indian subcontinent!

Buddhists in East Asia remember the Pāla Empire (r. 750–1161 CE), a Buddhist empire that ruled Bengal.

The Pāla Empire's sensual female sculptures are captivating!😄
