You River

You River

The You River, which flows through Xiushan County, is also known as the North River. It belongs to the Yuan River system and is the largest tributary of the Yuan River. Originating in Yidu County, Hubei Province, it enters Longshan County in Hunan via the Gaqiao area of Shidi Town, then joins the Yuan River and eventually flows into Dongting Lake.

Boarding at Wangjia Wharf, you’ll pass scenic spots along the way such as Jigongtan, Dongjiao, Dalaozhai, Baihelin, Yutangxi, Tiangou Bridge, the Immigration Culture Street, Meijiahe, and Hongyandong. The You River is beloved by all for its high-quality water, sparkling waves, lush surrounding trees, and continuous rolling hills that seem to stretch on forever. It is a pristine eco-tourism destination perfect for leisure and vacation — an ideal place to return to nature and unwind. In spring, witness the vitality of all living things, inspiring hope for a bright future; in summer, enjoy cool relief from the heat in a refreshing world; in autumn, see the smiling faces of farmers and share in the joy of harvest; in winter, observe the leisurely life of fishermen and bask in the relaxation they embody.
