Donggangou Scenic Area

　　Donggangou Scenic Area is located 500 meters east of the Zhashui Karst Cave Tourist Area. The area is a行政村 (administrative village), consisting of three villager groups, with 208 households, 820 residents, 30 Party members, and covers a total area of 169.8 hectares.

　　Under the correct leadership of Party committees and governments at all levels, and with strong support from various functional departments, the Donggangou Village Party Branch and Village Committee established the YunTai Mountain Tourism Development Co., Ltd. in Zhashui County. Leveraging the village’s unique tourism resources and the nearby Zhashui Karst Caves, the company has successively developed attractions such as the 18 Bends of the Qin–Chu Ancient Road, Stone Boat, Eagle Beak Rock, Stone Lion, Stone Seal, Reclining Dragon Slab, YunTai Mountain Ancestral Temple, a 2,000-year-old Ginkgo Tree (Ginkgo Garden), and Longtan Forest Park. They have also built the Ginkgo Mountain Villa and Ginkgo Mountain Villa Club, which can accommodate 200 diners and 100 overnight guests, as well as developed over 30 farm stays.

　　The scenic area features year-round flowing streams, verdant peaks, overlapping mountains, distinct seasons, and the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers. In spring, when warmth returns, all plants revive, stretching endlessly in lush green, with a myriad of blossoms competing in color among the greenery. In the hot summer, cool breezes and rustling forests waft floral scents that soothe the heart. In golden autumn, red leaves cover the hillsides, forests blaze with color, and the views are intoxicating. In winter, snow blankets the mountains, a pool mirrors like jade, and trees are adorned with icy blossoms. Here, thrill and leisure meet, making it an ideal destination near the city for cooling off, vacationing, hiking, adventure camping, and exploring distinctive rural experiences.

　　Donggangou Scenic Area's Ginkgo Mountain Villa can accommodate 200 diners and 100 overnight guests simultaneously, and also hosts large, medium, and small meetings. The Donggangou group of farm stays can serve 1,000 diners and accommodate 200 guests.
