Qingshan Lake
青山湖
A mountain reservoir lake near Qingshangou Town. Boat rides take in the surrounding peaks and autumn colors, and it makes a relaxed stop on the Qingshangou combined ticket.
Qingshan Lake is the water-based part of the Qingshangou Scenic Area. It is a long, narrow reservoir formed by a mountain dam, located near Qingshangou Town and surrounded by mountains. Visitors can take a sightseeing boat or speedboat to see the peaks, islands, and forests along the shore. In autumn, the red foliage reflected in the water makes for excellent photos. A boat tour takes about one hour. Boat tickets are usually included in the Qingshangou combined ticket or sold separately, so check the scenic area's current prices. It works well as a light activity after hiking Feipu Gorge and Hutanggou. The lake freezes in winter, and boat tours stop running.
