Both properties are situated between Qixianliang and Qixiangling Reservoir .

A vuelo de pájar uno pensaría en el embalse Qixiangling pero goggle ni siquiera menciona donde queda tal localidad y no hay hits al respecto. Acudo a algún viajero o conocedor que me pueda sustentar la respuesta. Mil gracias

Embalse Qixiangling
Explanation:
La connotación de "reservoir" es generalmente para un cuerpo de agua formado artificialmente cerrando la boca de un valle mediante un dique o presa, que sirve para consumo humano; es decir, un embalse. Para referirse a una reserva, se habla de una reserva ecológica, para lo cual se ocupa "Wildlife/ Ecological Reserve".
