Wazi Gully Rural Charm Tourism Area

Wazi Village is located at the southwestern edge of Gongchangling District and is an administrative village under Tanghe Town. It covers a total area of 15,000 mu, including 12,000 mu of forested mountains. It is 5 kilometers from Xitu Highway, 27 kilometers from Liaoyang, and 38 kilometers from Anshan, making it easily accessible. Situated upstream of the Tanghe Reservoir and surrounded by green mountains and meandering clear waters, the area boasts vast plantations of flowers, trees, fruits, and vegetables, filling the air with their fragrance. Scenes of farming in the fields and villagers fishing by the water create a delightful contrast. The dense forests and lush vegetation form a beautiful natural environment, making it a tranquil haven amidst the bustling city — truly an idyllic retreat in Gongchangling District.

Wazi Village has a population of 734 residents across 216 households. The essence of nature has not only created the stunning beauty of the landscape but also endowed the locals with hardworking and simple-hearted characters. The villagers are warm, hospitable, sincere, and kind. In the village, doors remain unlocked at night, and lost items are always returned. The clean and comfortable farmsteads make visitors feel right at home, leaving them reluctant to leave.

Unembellished beauty is the soul of Wazi Village. The farmsteads within the scenic area showcase a rich rural charm, and notably, the entire area is dedicated to growing pollution-free, green food, making it the city’s first green ecological village. In 2001, the district Party committee and government made the decision to “build the district through tourism,” incorporating Wazi Village into the tourism development plan. The goal is to develop Wazi Village into the premier eco-tourism village in Northeast China — a natural ecological tourism area that integrates green agriculture, sightseeing, leisure, vacationing, entertainment, exhibition and education, film and television culture, and environmental protection. The area will feature strong pastoral scenery, authentically recreated antique aesthetics, and profound cultural heritage.
