Laohuzui, Yuanyang

Laohuzui (Tiger's Mouth) is the third platform on the paid pass and was long known for its sunsets. In June 2018, heavy rain set off a landslide below the platform that damaged terraces and closed the viewpoint. It reopened on a trial basis in 2023 after repairs, but reviews are sharply split.
