Dajiu Lake National Wetland Park, Shennongjia, Hubei

Updated: 2026-10-10 | China Bound

Nestled among the mountains of Shennongjia, Dajiu Lake (Great Nine Lakes) gets its name from nine streams that flow together to form nine lakes of varied sizes. It is renowned for its rare subtropical subalpine wetlands dominated by Sphagnum moss. In autumn, colorful forests reflect in the tranquil waters, while the ancient Sichuan-Hubei Salt Route adds a layer of history to this peaceful mountain landscape.
