行走河南·读懂中国
“人工天河”红旗渠
The Hongqi Canal is located in Linzhou, a county-level city of Anyang city, Henan province. In the 1960s, with the support of the Party and the local government, the people of Linxian county (today's Linzhou) built an irrigation project on the steep Taihang Mountains, which is dubbed the "man-made river in the sky".
红旗渠，位于河南安阳林州市。上世纪60年代，林县（林州）人民为解决靠天等雨的恶劣生存环境，在党和政府支持下，在太行山腰修建了引漳入林水利工程，被称为“人工天河”。
