Leshou Taohe Scenic Area

　　Traveling 30 kilometers south from Hezuo City, you’ll reach the Leshou Taohe Scenic Area, known for its dense forests, deep valleys, and beautiful landscapes — often called Hezuo’s “Little Jiangnan.” Here, layers of mountains unfold, streams babble, and pine waves rustle. Tibetan-style wooden cabins are tucked among lush pines and cypresses. The forest is home to a variety of precious animals, especially notable for its rich birdlife. A suspension footbridge made of iron cables spans the winding Taohe River, where sheepskin rafts and wooden rafts drift along the water, and plump stone flower fish swim beneath the surface. The riverside watermills tell ancient and magical tales. Here, you can feel the vast beauty of nature and the harmony among all living things, which purifies and elevates the soul.
