The Songhua runs for 122 kilometres along Huachuan, on the southern side of its lower course. The county describes its water network as one main river, six smaller rivers and thirteen ponds. Tributaries include the Anbang, Lingdangmai and Yindamu. Across this lowland, water connects settlements, rice fields and wetlands; the county's southwest rises toward hills while its northeast opens into the plain.

Huachuan’s River Country: Villages Between Water and Field
In Huachuan, the Songhua and its tributaries form a water network that reaches from riverside settlements to marsh, island and farmland. A proposed forest park also links river wetlands with forest and archaeological landscapes.

Forest, islands and an ancient-city site
A proposed national forest park brings together two parts of this landscape. Wanjingshan includes land managed by Hengtoushan and Laopinggang forest farms. The Warihothon ancient-city section extends from Wanlihe Village toward the meeting of the Lingdangmai and Songhua rivers. The plan includes planted Korean-pine woodland, riverside wetlands and eight river islands. It describes a planned protected landscape rather than a completed visitor itinerary.
Water shared by fields and habitat
Farming and fishing share these waters. The county's revised 2026 plan records rice fields used for combined cultivation with fish, loaches, crabs and other animals. It also sets aside protected wetland and forest areas where aquaculture is restricted. Huachuan's river country is therefore a working landscape whose channels and seasonal waters support different uses, from cultivated fields to protected habitat.
