————Introduction to Shuiyuan Town
Shuiyuan Town is located in the eastern district of Da'an City. It is a simple and peaceful small town nestled between mountains and waterfalls, surrounded by clear streams and lush forests. The residents are gentle and have no secrets from each other. Neighbors help each other, and although life is simple, it is full of human warmth.
Although remote, Shuiyuan Town is the main water source for the bustling Da'an City. The town's water conservancy dam is not only a lifeline but also a famous tourist attraction. On holidays, tourists flock here to climb to the top of the dam and overlook the picturesque scenery, experiencing the magnificent natural landscape.
In recent years, Shuiyuan Town has opened a railway, allowing more young people to go out to work. Most of the remaining residents are elderly neighbors who know each other well, forming an atmosphere where "everyone is family." Although the population is aging, the warmth in the town remains strong.
