Qingtian River
青天河
A reservoir scenic area in the Taihang gorges of Boai County, where boats cruise a high-gorge lake, earning it the title “the Three Gorges of the North.”
Qingtian River lies in the northern Taihang Mountains of Boai County. A dam blocks the river to form a gorge lake more than ten kilometers long, winding between cliffs that rise steeply on both sides. A boat trip reveals cliff reflections, waterfalls and the remains of ancient plank roads, and the scenery has earned it the name “the Three Gorges of the North.” The scenic area also has cultural sites such as Yueshan Temple, and the hills are covered in autumn foliage. It is about 40 km from Jiaozuo city. Admission and boat tickets follow the official prices, and it is best to set aside half a day.
