Guanegou - Guanzhugou Valley
官鹅沟·官珠沟
The main gully of Guanegou, where boardwalks follow a stream past alpine lakes, waterfalls, and colorful forests. It is known as the 'Nine Valleys of Longshang.'
Guanegou National Forest Park lies about 5 kilometers south of Tanchang County town. It consists of Guanzhu Gully and Eman Gully. Guanzhu Gully is the main route and draws the most visitors. Inside, the elevation climbs from about 1,800 meters to over 3,000 meters. Along the way, you'll find more than a dozen lakes, waterfalls, and primeval forests formed by travertine and landslide dams. In autumn, the forest changes color in layers. Visitors take a scenic shuttle into the gully and then walk the boardwalk in sections. A full visit takes a full day. Admission and shuttle tickets are charged separately, and during peak season you should buy tickets in advance. Temperatures swing widely between morning and evening in the mountains, so bring a jacket.
