General presentation
Ankang et lac Yinghu
Han River, dam lake and green hills give south of Shaanxi a subtropical character.
Lake Yinghu, Han River in Ankang and Ankang Museum give the most telling landmarks of Ankang and Lake Yinghu. Together, they form a destination where urban life, shores and lakes, riverscapes and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Lac Yinghu
The reservoir snakes between wooded hills and small islands west of Ankang. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and any local restrictions must also be respected.
River
Rivière Han à Ankang
The Han crosses the city before continuing to the Hubei and Yangzi. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; it is also necessary to respect the fragile banks and any local restrictions.
Museum
Musée d'Ankang
The museum presents the local history and cultural diversity of the Han corridor. The collections and remains take time to exceed a mere photographic stopover; reserving a sufficient beach helps to understand their regional historical context.
