Shanliquan

Shanliquan is a national AA-level tourist attraction and a national water conservancy scenic area.

The Shanliquan Natural Scenic Tourism Area is located in the southern part of the Taihang Mountains, at the junction of Zezhou, Yangcheng, and Jiyuan—three counties/cities spanning Shanxi and Henan provinces. Here, nature’s master craftsmanship has created rare and uniquely magical geological and geomorphological wonders. The mighty Qin River winds and twists through the mountains like a coiling dragon, majestic and profound. The scenic area is just 18 kilometers from National Highway 207, 50 kilometers from downtown Jincheng City, and 51 kilometers from downtown Jiyuan City. The Houyue Railway runs through the area and includes a station, offering very convenient transportation. Within the scenic area, you’ll find picturesque landscapes with towering peaks, the ceaselessly flowing Qin River, clear springs and streams, as well as beautiful, expansive lakes with crystal-clear waters rippling gently. There are also valuable historical sites, captivating cultural landscapes, and local legends, along with abundant wildlife resources (including macaque troops). A modern medium-sized hydroelectric power station—the Shuanlvquan Hydropower Station—adds to the charm. The area also features an elegantly appointed resort with excellent services, offering comprehensive facilities for accommodation, dining, entertainment, leisure, conferences, and training. The climate here is pleasant, the air fresh, and the pristine ecological environment remains well-preserved—making it an ideal destination for tourism and vacationing.
