Jiulongkou Scenic Area
九龙口
A lake-marsh wetland where nine rivers converge, with islands and a web of waterways. It represents the original waterside landscape of the Lixiahe region.
Jiulongkou lies in western Jianhu County. It takes its name from nine river channels that flow into the lake marsh. The lake holds a small island called the Dragon Pearl, and reeds and lotuses grow in abundance. It is a provincial nature reserve and one of the birthplaces of Huai opera. Visitors can take a boat through the reed marshes and land on the island. Try lake seafood and Jianhu lotus root tapioca balls. Allow half a day. It is about 55 kilometers from Yancheng city center.
