Check out the incredible Sifangdong Hydropower Station, situated at the top of a mountain.

From up high, the reservoir looks like a massive mirror embedded into the mountain top. It's reflecting the sky, clouds, and lush green mountains - talk about a picture-perfect view!

This structure was built in just three years after beginning construction in 1984. The reservoir collects water from underground rivers zigzagging through the mountains. The water is then fed through steel pipes to a power station 900-meters below.
