Xiushui Scenic Area
秀水风景区
River bends and islets formed where the Yarlu River emerges from the mountains, with green hills, clear water and lush trees, a representative scene of the 'Suzhou and Hangzhou of the frontier'.
Xiushui Scenic Area lies about 4 km north of the city centre, at the foot of Yangbiliang Mountain. It is about 2 km north of Suspension Bridge Park and is now a national wetland park. Here the Yarlu River splits into many small islets covered in dense forest. You can walk across the Rainbow Bridge, visit the Three Old Men Pavilion and the Lanshen Pavilion, and climb more than 500 steps to look down over the river bends. The scenic area has wooden cabins and places to eat, and it is good for a cool summer walk, with water play in summer. Allow 2 to 3 hours. Take a taxi or ride a bike to get there.
