In this paper, we prove: (1) for any closed contact three-manifold with a $C^\infty$-generic contact form, the union of periodic Reeb orbits is dense; (2) for any closed surface with a $C^\infty$-generic Riemannian metric, the union of closed geodesics is dense. The key observation is a $C^\infty$-closing lemma for three-dimensional Reeb flows, which follows from the fact that the embedded contact homology (ECH) spectral invariants recover the volume.
Keywords: Periodic Reeb orbits, embedded contact homology, $C^\infty$-closing lemma..
