Introduction

The Yao Nv Lake is located in the Bozhe Gorge on the southwest side of Nianbao Yuzhe Main Peak. Its narrow and steep cliffs create a mysterious and awe-inspiring atmosphere that is quite different from that of the Xian Nu Lake. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to hike from Xian Nu Lake to Yao Nv Lake, and the total round trip time is over 7 hours. Situated deeper in the mountains, Yao Nv Lake boasts a charming view with emerald-green waters.
