Profile; ?>As a dam-based water-guiding and irrigation project with a history of over 1180 years, Tuoshan Weir is located in Yinzhou District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province and on the Yin River which is a tributary of Fenghua River. Its construction turns the Yinxi Plain into an important base of grain production in East Zhejiang Province and affects the development of Ningbo City. The headwork of its canal is located between Shamao Mountain and Tuoshan Mountain because guiding water here can maximize the scope of irrigation. Tuoshan Weir irrigated "several thousand hectares of lands"
