A waterfall scenic area in Daguan County with dozens of cascades along the gorge; in summer, abundant water makes it one of Zhaotong's most popular mountain and water attractions.
The Huanglianhe scenic area lies near Daguan county town, with dozens of waterfalls of varying shapes along the gorge stream. The largest fall has a considerable drop, and mist fills the air in the rainy season. The scenic area has trails, boardwalks and viewing platforms. A full visit takes about 3 hours and involves many steps, so non-slip shoes are essential. It is about 70 kilometres from Zhaotong city, reachable via the Zhaotong–Mazhe Expressway, a drive of roughly 1 hour. Admission and sightseeing bus fees follow the scenic area's published prices.
