Heizhugou Scenic Area
黑竹沟
A primeval forest scenic area in Ebian Yi Autonomous County, known for its mysterious legends, alpine lakes, azalea woods and Yi culture.
Heizhugou is located in Ebian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan. It is a national forest park, nicknamed the Bermuda Triangle of China because of its frequent mists and many legends. The scenic area features primeval fir forests, alpine azaleas, streams and waterfalls, high mountain lakes and snow-capped peaks. Surrounding it is the Xiaoliangshan Yi settlement, where you can experience Yi customs. It is about 2 to 3 hours by car from Emeishan City, and the mountain roads have many bends, so a self-drive or hired car with an early start is recommended. Check the official notices for ticket and shuttle bus details, and never leave the marked trails in the deeper areas.
