Tourism

Named after the Mudan River, the region's premier tourist attraction is Jingpo Lake famous for its craggy limestone cliffs (similar to those of Guilin) and its turquoise waters containing Ericton fish and fresh water coral. Jingbo Lake is the only lava-dammed lake caused by volcanic eruption in China. Other sites include the National Forest Park and the Skee Field by Mudan Mountain, and the Breeding Center for the Siberian Tiger. Besides lamb hotpot, fish feast and gluten cake, the best local dishes also include hazel mushrooms and venison. Most of them are derived from Northeast China or Korean culinary styles. The fish feast and the stewed dishes are among the most famous delights.[2]
