Jingpo Lake Waterfall

　　Also known as "Diaoshuilou Waterfall," for a long time, the Mudan River was a very gentle river. A volcanic eruption ten thousand years ago rewrote the life course of the Mudan River. The Quaternary basalt flow formed a natural barrier dam near Diaoshuilou, blocking the exit of the Mudan River, raising the water level and forming Jingpo Lake, which spans over 90 square kilometers.

　　Jingpo Lake Waterfall is truly breathtaking. During the summer floods, water from all directions converges at the pool inlet before suddenly plunging down, resembling countless white horses galloping forth — a spectacular sight. The roaring, rushing waters surge over the smooth lava bed and cascade down from the fault cliffs, forming a massive waterfall up to 200–300 meters wide and over 20 meters high during peak flow. The misty, snow-like spectacle is nothing short of thrilling. Embracing the pristine white waterfall is Heishi Pool, where the ochre-red lava heightens the urgency of the river’s flow to an awe-inspiring degree — a compromise between water and fire, a fusion of cold and fiery life forces.

　　Transportation: Jingpo Lake is located southwest of Ning'an City in Heilongjiang Province. From Mudanjiang City, head south through the ancient city of Ning'an, then westward to Dongjingcheng. From there, drive another 30 kilometers to reach the lake.

　　Nearby Attractions: Approximately 50 kilometers northwest of the Jingpo Lake Power Plant, near Daghanpao, there is a volcanic group that can be visited.
