Last updated 2026-11-14 — Huangnianzi National Forest Park is a prime tourist area within the Yeliguan Scenic Zone in Lintan County, Gannan Prefecture. It is also another canyon of the Yemu Gorge, stretching 6.5 kilometers in length with steep mountain terrain and ninety-nine winding turns. The canyon is flanked by vast stretches of natural forest. It is located sixteen kilometers from Yeliguan Town. By following the hundred-li-long Yemu West Gorge river, you can enter Huangnianzi Forest Park. With a forest coverage rate of 89%, its lush trees and dense foliage are truly beyond description—“a tapestry of emerald and brocade” barely does it justice. It’s an ideal destination for travel and leisure. Strolling along, you’ll hear birds chirping deep in the woods, butterflies fluttering among flowers, vines twining around branches, and leaves rustling gently. There are long wooden boardwalks meandering through the area, small rustic pavilions dotting the landscape, and a newly built resort with red-and-white buildings nestled deep in the serene, winding greenery. Here, humans and nature coexist in remarkable harmony—an intimacy and closeness that can only be truly appreciated when you experience it firsthand. At Huangnianzi Resort, you can admire snow waterfalls and dense thickets of shrubs. The area enjoys sunshine all year round and offers a tranquil and comfortable environment, making it the perfect holiday spot for family trips. Although the resort is situated in the upper section of the Yemu Gorge, it has not become noisy despite its fame, remaining simple, natural, peaceful, and quiet. The original forests mostly feature trees over 20 meters tall, with dense stands of pine, cypress, and birch everywhere. Along the way, you’ll walk through layers of shade, crystal-clear waters, and fragrant blooms. Mountain springs gurgle, streams babble, birds sing, and flowers bloom. In spring, the mountains are lush and the air is fresh and clean; in midsummer, the dense shade brings cool tranquility; in late autumn, the forests are painted in vibrant hues, and wild fruits abound—both a joy to behold and to eat. In winter, the pine forests remain emerald green under blankets of snow, creating a crystalline, fairytale-like scene reminiscent of a northern winter landscape.
