The Xialao River originates from Niupingya in Yichang County and flows from north to south through Baimuping, Baimaling, Qinjiamiao, and Jiangjiamiao before entering the Yangtze River in Nanjin, with a total length of 26.7 kilometers. According to legend, in ancient times, the father of the flood control hero Dayu, Gun, locked a wicked dragon at the bottom of the Xialao River to punish it, hence the name of the river.
The Xialao River is clear to the bottom, as pure as jade, with strange peaks competing on both sides, flying springs playing the qin, and the scenery is quiet and beautiful, beautiful and moving. Walking into the secluded valley of Xialao Creek, looking up at the towering mountains on both sides, the stone gates, stone drums, tiger ridges, sheep pen caves, and lion dens are all exquisitely crafted, leaving one's eyes bewildered and mesmerized, as if entering a mythical world.
The Xialaoxi natural bathhouse, nestled deep in the canyon, can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. Next to the bathhouse, there is a Chu family mountain village built along the mountain and a wind and rain bridge modeled after the ancient Ba Chu style, bringing visitors into a paradise on earth. Not far away, there are over a hundred precious tree species and exotic flowers and grasses around the Lion's Nest Forest Bathing Beach, where visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons.
