2. Hubei has always been called the province of thousands of lakes. In ancient times, there was a cloud dream and Ozawa praised it; There are 1066 lakes in Hubei, covering an area of more than 2,700 square kilometers. The Yangtze River, the largest water system in China, runs through southern Hubei, and the Han River is the second largest river in Hubei. It runs obliquely through the whole province from northwest to southeast and joins the Yangtze River in Hankou. The total length of inland rivers in Hubei is as high as 35,000 kilometers, of which 43 rivers are above 100 kilometers.
3. Hubei is also rich in hydropower resources. The world-famous Three Gorges Water Control Project is located in Yichang City, Hubei Province, and the water source of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project is also in Danjiangkou Reservoir, Hubei Province. Many hydropower stations, such as Gezhouba and Geheyan, which are spread all over Hubei, are dotted like a web. Most of the flowing lakes in Hubei are connected with the Yangtze River and its tributaries, mainly concentrated in Jianghan Plain and East Hubei Plain, which have always played a great role in flood storage, aquaculture irrigation and shipping and transportation.

The inner lakes in Hubei mainly include Honghu Lake, Liangzi Lake, Changhu Lake, Axe Lake, Longgan Lake, Xiliang Lake, Niu Shan Lake and Daye Lake, which are collectively called the eight inner lakes with an area of more than 500,000 square kilometers. Among them, more than 300 square kilometers of Honghu Lake and more than 370 square kilometers of Liangzihu City are all natural farms, such as Wuchang fish, Honghu carp and Liangzihu lotus root.

Hubei's freshwater resources have always been the first in the country, and the annual output of freshwater aquatic products has reached more than 4 million tons, ranking first in the country for more than 20 years. Many comprehensive indicators, such as aquaculture area, per capita possession and scientific and technological strength, rank first in the country, and the total fishery economic output value reaches more than 200 billion yuan. Crayfish, crab and eel have formed three industrial clusters with billions of levels, which are the most prosperous provinces in the inland provinces.
6. Hubei is one of the main grain producing areas in China. Because of the abundant water resources, Hubei's grain production will naturally flourish because of water. In ancient times, there was a saying that "the lake is vast and ripe, and the world is full". The rice planting area in Hubei is about 30 million mu, ranking sixth and fifth in the country respectively. Jianghan Plain and East Hubei Plain, with fertile land, have always been the main producing areas of rice and cotton. Hubei rice can not only be completely self-sufficient, but also be sold to more than 5 million tons in other provinces every year.

Green bamboo hat, green hemp fiber, oblique wind and drizzle don't have to go back. " Three branches in the south reach Chu territory, and nine branches flow to Jingmen. Xiangyang is beautiful and sunny, which makes me fascinated by Laoshan!
