The Tianping Reservoir (simplified Chinese: 田坪水库; traditional Chinese: 田坪水庫; pinyin: Tiánpíng Shuǐkù), also known as Qingshan Lake (Chinese: 青山湖), is a large reservoir located in the western part of Ningxiang, Hunan, China.

Created by damming some small rivers, the Tianping Reservoir has an area of 4.2 square kilometres (1,000 acres) and a capacity of 4,416 cubic metres (0.001167×10^9 US gal).

[1][2] In the 1970s Yang Shifang (杨世芳), head of the People's Government of Ningxiang, planned to build a reservoir for irrigation, flood control, electricity generation and fish farming.

Due to poverty, the government mobilized the masses and used a large amount of human resources to complete the build rather than use heavy construction equipment.
