Liujiaxia Reservoir is an inland freshwater lake located in Gansu Province, China, situated in a mountainous region with pronounced topographic relief. The water body is surrounded by steep valley walls and ridges creating a constrained basin environment. The terrain shows significant elevation changes with multiple narrow channels and submerged features visible in the satellite imagery.
This spot presents substantial challenges for kitesurfing. The surrounding mountains and valleys create funneling effects that may redirect wind unpredictably. The reported 0.0% wind reliability indicates consistent difficulty accessing usable wind conditions. Average wind speeds of 3.6 knots fall significantly below the 10-12 knot minimum typically required for kitesurfing. The shallow water areas and underwater ridge formations pose navigation hazards. The geographical setting with constrained fetch and multiple obstacles makes this unsuitable for most kiters. Winter months may offer slightly improved conditions, though data suggests marginal viability year-round. This location is not recommended as a primary kitesurfing destination.
