北京十三陵水库曾是毛泽东等中国第一代党和国家领导人挥锹铲土，抛洒汗水的水利工地。当年以其巨大的政治召唤力，把全党重视农业，大力兴修水利的基本建设推向高潮。如今，改革开放的大潮，又把这条赤漆斑驼的“旱船”，推出久泊的港湾，驶向水利旅游，发展经济的“新航线” Beijing’s Ming Tombs Reservoir was once a water conservancy site where Mao Zedong and other Chinese first- generation party and state leaders swept shovel earth and sweated. In that year, with its huge political summoning power, the entire party focused on agriculture and vigorously built the basic construction of water conservancy to a climax. Nowadays, the tide of reform and opening up has again brought this “painted dry boat” with red lacquer and camels into the harbor of Jiubo, and has sailed into water conservancy tourism to develop a “new route” for the economy.
