Henghe Three Gorges Ancient Sweetgum Garden

恒合三峡古枫香园

An ancient sweetgum forest in Henghe Tujia Ethnic Township at 1,200 meters above sea level. Its autumn foliage turns into a sea of red, and in summer it's a cool retreat for Wanzhou residents.

Henghe Tujia Ethnic Township lies about 65 km from Wanzhou's urban center. Its average elevation is over 1,200 meters, and average summer temperatures hover around 20°C, making it Wanzhou's most popular highland retreat. The Three Gorges Ancient Sweetgum Garden has extensive stands of centuries-old sweetgum trees, whose leaves turn from yellow to red in October and November. Trails and starry-sky lodges run through the forest. In the township, the Tujia Ethnic Square hosts Baishou dancing in the evenings. Entry fees may vary, so check on site. The mountain roads are winding, so self-driving during the day is recommended.
