Yehe Valley
野荷谷
A forest gorge on the eastern foot of the Liupan Mountains. Wild plants with broad leaves carpet the streamside in summer, and the valley is cool and quiet.
Yehe Valley is located on the eastern foot of the Liupan Mountains in Jingyuan County. Streams flow through the gorge, and wild plants with broad leaves grow across the valley floor. Locally called yehe, or wild lotus, they cover the streamside and the forest floor in layers during summer, creating a distinctive landscape. Meadows and secondary forest line the route. The boardwalk runs several kilometers with a gentle grade, which makes it suitable for family hikes. Tickets are required. The best time to visit is July and August. In other seasons, the scenery is less impressive.
