Zhenhu Lake
震湖
A barrier lake formed by the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake. The lake, mountains, and loess terraces form a landscape that marks the earthquake in Xiji.
Zhenhu Lake lies in the Dangjiacha area of Zhenhu Township, Xiji County. In the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake, a landslide blocked the river valley and formed a barrier lake, which is one of the typical relics left by that earthquake. The lake is long and narrow, surrounded by loess hills and terraces. Its colors are rich and layered in summer and autumn, which makes it a good spot for self-drive photography. There are few tourist facilities nearby. The lake is about 80 km from Guyuan city, and it is best combined with Huoshizhai and Jiangtaibu.
