Jiunü Fairy Lake
九女仙湖
A long, narrow lake in the Qin River gorge, with steep Taihang cliffs on both banks. Boat tours show the gorge scenery and the legend of the Nine Maidens, with stops along the way.
Jiunü Fairy Lake is located in the Qin River gorge, southwest of Jincheng. The river has been dammed to form a winding lake. Steep cliffs and dense vegetation line both banks, and the lake is known as the 'Little Three Gorges of the North.' Legend tells of nine fairy maidens who descended to earth here. Boat tours are the main way to explore the lake, passing gorges, cliffs, and villages along the way. Some areas allow visitors to go ashore and walk. It is not far from Huangcheng Xiangfu and Manghe, so it works well as part of a day trip to Yangcheng sites. Boat tickets and seasonal opening hours are subject to on-site information.
