Youcao River Scenic Area The Youcao River originates from Motianpo in the Dafengbao Nature Reserve of Huangshui Forest Park at the northern foot of the Qiyao Mountains. It flows for 42.9 kilometers within Shizhu County, passes through Lichuan City in Hubei Province, and then joins the Yangtze River at Longju in Wanzhou District, Chongqing.

The water is so transparent that you can see the stones beneath, which look like sparkling jade. The riverbanks are covered with lush aquatic plants, and the surrounding area features towering mountains and uniquely shaped rocks. The upstream section from Wansheng Dam to the Youcao River Bridge, spanning approximately 20 kilometers, has an average elevation of 1,331.4 meters. This section is naturally formed, rich in pristine ecology, and an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers looking for adventure.
