Guojiagou, located east of Xiaying Town in Jizhou District, boasts beautiful scenery nestled between mountains and water, with mountains and lakes nestled against each other. Thanks to the Guojiagou Reservoir, the area enjoys a pleasant temperature and a favorable environment. The farmhouses here are managed by the village, and the planting of flowers and grass within the village preserves the rural simplicity while adding vibrant color.
In recent years, Guojiagou Village has capitalized on its inherent natural environment, expanding adjacent to its own houses and establishing a grand sketching base, complete with food and accommodation. This initiative has greatly facilitated the number of teachers and students who come to sketch, and Guojiagou quickly became renowned throughout art academies nationwide. Sketching trips last from as little as two weeks to as many as several months, a constant stream of visitors year-round. Because Guojiagou's scenery offers unique characteristics year-round, and painting and photography are closely related, Guojiagou's fame has made it a must-see for any photographer visiting Suide.
