Shiba Yue Pond Scenic Area in Guangwu Mountain

Shiba Yue Pond Scenic Area in Guangwu Mountain

Admire the water at Shiba Yue Pond and feel its spirituality. This scenic area features premier attractions such as Jiujiao Mountain, Yuyin Terrace, and the nineteen waterfalls of Shiba Yue Pond. The area is covered in dense forests, dotted with numerous waterfalls and ponds, and boasts a tranquil environment, earning it the nickname “Jiuzhaigou of Northeastern Sichuan.” Known for its granite bedrock and ancient trees lining the edges, Shiba Yue Pond — where “the ponds rival Jiuzhaigou, and the red leaves are unparalleled in the world” — offers a mesmerizing experience as you stroll along streams that cascade dramatically, lie peacefully still, weave through forest seas, or flow gently along mountain valleys. The interconnected ponds and waterfalls create a truly refreshing atmosphere. Yuyin Terrace lies at the heart of Shiba Yue Pond, surrounded by overlapping peaks and vast misty waters, with red leaves reflecting across the sky. Jiujiao Mountain, located to the northeast of the Shiba Yue Pond Scenic Area, gets its name from nine peaks that stand guard over one another. With its layered mountains and winding paths, Jiujiao Mountain presents a spectacular sight. In autumn, the forests turn into a riot of colors, with mountains ablaze in red. At the mountaintop stands an oddly shaped “Couple Tree,” resembling a devoted pair, which is truly a marvel to behold.
