Jiuligou Valley
九里沟
A Taihang Mountain canyon scenic area on the outskirts of Jiyuan. Waterfalls and emerald pools line the long gully, making it suitable for light hiking and family wading.
Jiuligou is in Sili Town, northwest of Jiyuan. The canyon is about 4.5 km long. Along the stream are waterfalls, pools and a few ancient villages. In summer it is a popular place for locals to cool off and wade, and the autumn foliage is also lovely. The boardwalk is gentle, and a round trip takes about 2–3 hours. Admission is about 30–50 yuan. The site is about 20 km from the city centre and can be reached by self-driving or by the scenic area's shuttle bus. Take care after rain, when water levels are high.
