About Yuzhu Qingtian Scenic Area
A tall rock face bearing the four characters that name the site overlooks a spring-fed landscape. Hanxue Lake, also called Yuejing Lake, sits among trees and meadow ground below the rock, with mountain reflections when conditions allow. These features make the visit a combination of carved landscape, water and forest. Keep to the managed route; the old inscription is viewed from the visitor path, not by climbing the rock.
What to look for
- The large Yuzhu Qingtian inscription is carved into a steep rock face.
- Hanxue Lake sits below the cliff in a wooded spring landscape.
