Jingpo Lake Scenic Area 景颇湖风景区

Jingpo Lake, literally Mirror Lake, is the core scenic spot of Jingpohu Global Geopark of China (镜泊湖国家地质公园), which was designated as one of the Global Geoparks by UNESCO on September 18, 2006. The geopark is mainly composed of three parts: Hundred-mile Long Lake Scenic Area (百里长湖), Crater Primeval Forest Scenic Area (火山口原始森林) and Longquan Mansion Ruins of Bohai State (渤海国上京龙泉府遗址).

Diaoshuilou Waterfall is the world's largest lava air-hole collapse-type waterfall. It is the most famous natural scene of Jingpo Lake. The best time to see the falls is during their flooding season which is mid to late summer. We were treated to the magnificent ice curtains during our visit.
