About Baligou

Peach Blossom Bay introduces the lower water landscape, while Tianhe Waterfall gives the gorge a much larger vertical scale. Higher Red Stone River sections add another contrast of rock colour and flowing water. The wider Baligou tourism area also includes Jiulianshan and Tianjieshan, so a visit to this valley should not be confused with covering every sector under the same brand.

What to look for

  • Tianhe Waterfall against the high cliff at the head of the valley route.
  • Peach Blossom Bay and the stream-and-pool landscape of the lower gorge.

Location & getting there

Getting to Baligou

Approach the Baligou visitor area through Songshuping Village in Huixian, northwest of Xinxiang. Specify the Baligou valley sector when arranging the onward ride or scenic transport; Jiulianshan and Tianjieshan are separate parts of the wider area.

General visit reminders

Allow room for the terrain and weather when choosing your route. Check the operator’s current trail, shuttle and cableway notices where applicable, and confirm the return connection before setting out. A broad landscape pin does not identify every trailhead or access point.
