Guanshan Lake

关山湖

A mountain lake scenic area beside Guanmen Mountain, where autumn foliage is reflected in the water. It is nicknamed the “Little Yellow Mountain of Northeast China.”

Guanshan Lake was formed by the Guanmen Mountain Reservoir and lies west of Guanmen Mountain National Forest Park. The water is clear, and the lake is surrounded by mountains. In autumn, colorful foliage is reflected on the surface, making it a popular spot for photographers capturing red-leaf reflections. The scenic area also has unusual peaks, rock formations, and hiking trails, earning it the nickname “Little Yellow Mountain of Northeast China.” Tickets for Guanshan Lake and Guanmen Mountain are sold separately (confirm on site). You can take a boat or walk along the lake, and a visit typically takes 1.5–2 hours. The two sites are very close together, so they are usually visited on the same day.
