  The Puhua Dark River can be accessed by exiting at the Zhuoshui Interchange on the Chongqing–Hunan Expressway. Travel through the ancient town of Zhuoshui, then go upstream along the Puhua River for about 3 kilometers. The dark river section itself stretches over 1 kilometer and is a key highlight along the Apeng River tourism route.

  The scenic area consists of three natural bridges, an underground dark river, a large sinkhole, intermittent springs, the Puhua Gorge, and the Puhua Ecological Agricultural Park. Over 150 meters above the dark river, three bridges span the chasm in a spectacular sight known as the “Black Dragon Pool.” The massive sinkhole is shrouded in mystery, while the banks of the dark river feature stunning stalactites and stalagmites shaped by nature’s artistry. Exiting the river and entering the gorge, visitors encounter babbling streams, shallow gravel beds, vines, and wildflowers—offering delightful scenery. The sheer cliffs and karst caves are fascinating, making this an excellent destination for sightseeing, adventure, exploration, and immersive nature experiences.
