Jingpo Lake Scenic Area sits in Ning’an City under Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province. As China’s largest high-mountain volcanic barrier lake, it was formed thousands of years ago when volcanic lava blocked the ancient channel of the Mudan River. It is a UNESCO Global Geopark and national 5A scenic spot.
The core highlight is Diaoshuilou Waterfall. In summer, the roaring cascade presents a grand view; in winter, it turns into a magnificent frozen icefall. The scenic area also features underground primeval forests in volcanic craters, lava tunnels, and ruins of the Bohai Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. It is an ideal destination for boat cruising, geological sightseeing and summer retreat in Northeast China.
