Mucheng River Rural Tourism Scenic Area

　　The Mucheng River Rural Tourism Scenic Area, with a planned area of 26.5 square kilometers, borders the Huangguoshu 5A-level scenic spot to the north and stretches south to the source of the Le’an Hot Springs in Guanling Autonomous County, spanning a total length of 12.5 kilometers. It consists of more than 20 Buyi ethnic villages, with a total population of 15,200. The area has an average elevation of 668 meters and an annual average temperature of 18°C, earning it the nickname "natural greenhouse." It is also an important production site for early-maturing vegetables in Guanling’s Duqiao region. The scenic area boasts a rich collection of natural attractions including pastoral landscapes, waterfalls, peak forests, hot springs, and ancient banyan trees. It combines strong Buyi ethnic culture with significant historical relics from the Three Kingdoms period. Historical sites named after Three Kingdoms figures, such as Kongming Pond and Menghuo Fort, seamlessly blend natural scenery with cultural heritage, making it a prime destination for self-driving travelers. On December 27, 2006, the Mucheng River Scenic Area was designated as a National Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site by the China National Tourism Administration.

　　The scenic area features docks, parking lots, and rural agritainment farms offering services such as fishing, barbecuing, and entertainment—making it an ideal place to relax.
