About Jingpo Lake

A long, narrow lake in the Zhangguangcai and Laoye mountains, formed when lava from volcanic eruptions dammed the Mudan River; its water area is about 90 sq km and the scenic district is also a UNESCO Global Geopark. Most visitors head for the northern end, around Diaoshuilou Falls, and take a boat out along the lake. The wider scenic district also takes in the Underground Forest crater park and the Bohai Shangjing site, which have their own entries on this map.

How to get to Jingpo Lake

The northern gate and Diaoshuilou Falls are about 90 km by road south-west of Mudanjiang (the city's figure) and about 64 km by road from Ning'an.
