Nanhu Lake (Nanzheng)
南湖
A lake and mountain scenic area among the Daba Mountain foothills in Nanzheng, where water, peaks, waterfalls and bamboo groves come together. It's a weekend getaway for Hanzhong residents.
Nanhu Lake lies in the southern part of Nanzheng District, at the northern foot of the Daba Mountains. It is formed by a mountain reservoir and its valleys, with a winding lake surrounded by peaks. You can take a boat trip across the water or follow trails to waterfalls and bamboo groves. The scenic area also has lakeside historic buildings and viewing pavilions, and it's cooler than the basin in summer. Boat trips and admission follow the official prices. It's about 30 km from Hanzhong city centre, roughly 40 minutes by car, and pairs well with Mount Han for a half-day to full-day itinerary.
