Lying in the southeast of Heilongjiang Province, the Jingpo Lake(Chinese:镜泊湖；pinyin:jìngbóhú) is a famous scenic spot and summer resort in north China, and reputed as the West Lake in the North. As a narrow lake on high mountains, the Jingpo Lake was formed ten thousand years ago when lavas from volcano eruptions blocked the way of the Mudan River. About 350 meters above sea level, the lake covers an area of 90 square kilometers.

Main sights in the Jingpo Lake are Jingpo Villa, Dagu Hill, Xiaogu Hill, White Stone Lazi (lazi means large pieces of stones in local dialect), City Wall Lazi, Pearl Gate, Taoist Mountain, Diaoshuilou Waterfall, and Underground Forest, etc.

The Diaoshuilou Waterfall, which resembles Niagara Waterfall in North America, is located at the northern end of Jingpo Lake. It is more than 40 metres wide and has a vertical fall of 12 metres. In the rainy season, the width extends to more than 200 metres. Tourists can enjoy a good view of the waterfall in a delicate octagonal pavilion. Splendid rainbows can be seen on sunny days.
