Hugu Gorge
虎谷峡
A canyon scenic area on Huilong Lake, reached by boat. Its cliffs, pines, and lakeside islands have earned it the nickname 'Peach Blossom Paradise of Northeast China.'
Hugu Gorge Scenic Area (national 4A rating) lies about 26 kilometers southeast of the county seat, on the border between Yahe and Xiangyang Townships. It consists of two parts: Huilong Lake and Hugu Gorge. Visitors board a boat at the pier. Along the way, you will pass sheer cliffs topped with twisted pines and lakeside islands and coves. After landing, follow the gorge's boardwalk on foot to see waterfalls, mountain streams, and historic sites with local legends. The autumn colors are especially rich and layered. The park is about 3 kilometers from the Hedong Expressway exit. Plan for a half-day visit. Check the official notice for boat fares and the opening season.
