Maolangou National Forest Park
茅兰沟国家森林公园
A granite canyon at the northern foot of the Lesser Khingan Range, where Maolan Waterfall, Black Dragon Pool, and strange peaks and rocks come together, known as the 'Jiuzhaigou of the North.'
Maolangou National Forest Park lies in Xiangyang Township, northwest of Jiayin County. Centered on the Maolan Gorge, about 2 km long, the Maolangou River flows across the granite valley floor, forming Maolan Waterfall, Black Dragon Pool, Fairy Pond, and other pools and falls. Along both banks, rock formations such as Prince Peak, Bear Head Peak, and Old Woman Rock rise from dense forest. A walk along the boardwalks takes about 2 to 3 hours, with many steps. Admission is about 65 yuan (subject to the scenic area's announcements), and the park is generally open May to October. It is about 76 km by road from the county seat, so you will need to drive or hire a car. It can be combined with Wuyun Town Riverside on the same day.
