Qianzi Lake
千姿湖
A wetland lake on the north bank of the Yellow River, with a broad water surface and abundant waterbirds. It is the heart of the Qianzi Water Village eco-tourism area in Guide.
Qianzi Lake sits northeast of Guide county seat, on the north bank of the Yellow River. Its water surface covers about 1.5 square kilometers, making it a rare wetland lake on the upper Yellow River. The surrounding Qianzi Water Village eco-tourism area has wooden boardwalks, birdwatching platforms, and a boat dock. In summer, the lake is clear, with reeds set against the distant red-sandstone hills. In spring, when the pear blossoms bloom, you can combine a visit with the orchards. It is about 5 km from the county seat, and 1 to 2 hours is recommended for a visit. Admission and boat fares follow the scenic area’s posted prices.
