Emerald Valley
翡翠谷
A stream valley near Tangkou with a string of jade-green pools. It is the filming location for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and is also known as the “Lovers' Valley.”
Emerald Valley lies on the southeastern foot of the Huangshan Scenic Area, about 6 km from Tangkou Town. Along its roughly 6 km stream valley are more than a hundred pools of varying sizes. Their water glows jade green against the rocks and vegetation, interspersed with colorful pools, granite streambeds, and bamboo groves. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was filmed here. Because most visitors are couples, it is also known as the “Lovers' Valley.” Admission is about ¥60. The trails are gentle, with a round trip of about 2 hours, making it suitable for a half-day outing before or after climbing Huangshan.
