Here you can not only enjoy the picturesque mountains and waters reminiscent of Guilin, but also experience clear springs, steep cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and lush greenery. The Three Bridges, Five Lakes and One Waterfall, along with the unique pools and canyons, are considered among the best in northern China. Fan Zhongyan from the Ming Dynasty's Wanli era once praised the scenery of Xihu Port, saying: “Red peaks and emerald cliffs reflect each other’s brilliance— even Wang Wei’s paintings cannot compare.”

Although located in the north, Xihu Port is graced with green mountains and clear waters, exuding the refined charm of southern landscapes. When you visit, be sure to take a boat ride on the azure waves and enjoy the sensation of sailing through a painting. This area was also the filming location for the TV series “The Eleventh Son” (“Xiao Shiyilang”). Don’t miss attractions from the show such as the Eleventh Son’s log cabin, the Cascading Emerald Waterfall, the Cool World, the Twin Turtles Playing in the Pool, and especially the West Hill Grandma Temple.
