Xiajiasi Reservoir[1] (simplified Chinese: 夏家寺水库; traditional Chinese: 夏家寺水庫; pinyin: Yuànjī sì shuǐkù), also known as Mulan Lake,[2] is a large-sized reservoir[3] in Mulan Township, northeast of Huangpi District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, located at the upper reaches of Xajiasi River, a tributary of the She River.[4] It is a large water conservancy project mainly for irrigation and flood control, and also has comprehensive benefits such as breeding and tourism.[5]

The construction of Xiajiasi Reservoir started in November 1959 and was completed in November 1965. [6] The reservoir has a dam height of 30.8 meters, with a surface area of 2,000 hectares[7] and a storage capacity of 253.5 million cubic meters.[8]
