About Weihe River Source Scenic Area

The Pinzi springs, named for their three-part arrangement, provide a physical focus for the river’s origin story. Yuwang Hall and the Dayu Daowei inscription connect the water with traditions about Yu directing the river. A visit works well as a combination of streamside scenery and interpretation, keeping the legendary narrative distinct from the landscape you can observe.

What to look for

  • The three Pinzi springs in the headwater valley.
  • Yuwang Hall and the Dayu Daowei inscription associated with the river’s cultural history.
