Fishing is a moderate sport combining both entertainment and regimen and it can bring fun to our life. Going angling in Beijing is still possible and meaningful for you guys working all day long. Shachang Reservoir (沙场水库) is one of the most perfect places for the sport.

Located in the east of Shachang Village, downstream of Hongmenchuan River in Miyun County (密云县红门川河下游沙厂村东), the reservoir is 20 kilometers from Miyun County. It is called Shachang Reservoir, meaning ‘sandy land’ in Chinese, earning its name due to the soft silver sands of the shore. With the gentle slopes and lush vegetation of low mountains around the lake, the ground is also popular among wild birds. It is a fishing spot where you can catch many big snakeheads and catfish.

Type: free fishing spotGetting there: Drive to the G101 National Highway from Miyun County (密云县) and, after a distance of 21 kilometers, turn right before "Xiawanzi" (下湾子), go straight for a few minutes until you see it.
