Details:
A beam of car light broke the silence of Manla reservoir. The Winter Hexagon were rising in this dark starry night. The Winter Hexagon is a celestial asterism with vertices at bright star Rigel, Aldebaran, Capella, Pollux/Castor, Procyon, and Sirius. Here, the band of our Milky Way Galaxy runs through the center of the Winter Hexagon, while the Pleiades open star cluster and California nebula are visible just above. The Manla Reservoir look like an emerald embedding in the grand mountain. It's not only provides the "attached" function of sightseeing, it also has the functions of irrigation, generation, water storage and flood control.
