The Qianjiang National Customs Tourist Center
The center extends in the Qianjiang, Youyang, Xiushan, Pengshui, and Shizhu Tujia and Mac autonomous counties. The major scenic spots are Xiaonanhai, Nanyaojie and Taohuayuan. The center is a good place to appreciate the landscape, learn the customs and habits of the ethnic groups, and pay respect to the revolutionary martyrs.
Xiaonanhai (the Lesser South Sea)
Lying between Nanhai and Houba townships in the Qianjiang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County, Xiaonanhai is 32 kilometers from the county seat. It was formed in a strong earthquake during the Qing Dynasty. Verdant trees grow around the lake and green cropfields extend into the distance, presenting a picturesque landscape.
