The origin of the name

The ancients once left a famous saying that "the fruits of the eight trigrams mountain revision, jiuliantai realize the true meaning".

Scenery features

The nine peaks of Jiulian Mountain crisscross and the mountains move to form three huge canyons: xiliangou, guanhou Grand Canyon and Hongyan Grand Canyon. The Three Gorges Valley is surrounded by a triangle, with rocks like axes, peaks like knives, waterfalls like training, shallow pools and streams at the bottom of the valley, just like Jasper. Due to the influence of geological structure and the distribution of rock types, the mountain features are complex and diverse, with undulating mountains, deep valleys, dense forests and steep peaks. Most of the landforms are Danxia, dissolution column, dissolution peak, peak forest, peak cluster, waterfall, water drop group, rock paintings, etc., which are characterized by "steep peaks, steep mountains and deep blue pools".

Guanhou Grand Canyon and Xilian Canyon flow continuously throughout the year, and the valley is rich in vegetation. The scenic area uses the gap of the canyon to build dams to block and store water, forming a canyon water belt. The main landscape of guanhou gorge is represented by the "double symmetrical waterfall" at the end of the gorge. One waterfall is on the right, with a drop of 120 meters. The water flows from the shibanhe River in Huilong scenic area. The other waterfall is on the left, with a drop of 80 meters. It flows from xiyagou in Shanxi wangmangling scenic area. The left waterfall looks like a man's unrestrained natural and unrestrained, while the right waterfall looks like a woman's graceful and graceful. The two waterfalls form a shallow pool at the bottom of the valley at the end of the canyon, which is quite like a couple holding hands for a lifetime. You have me in you, I have you in me, and never leave. The local folk commonly known as "dragon and Phoenix waterfall" is an ideal destination for lovers to promise love.

Along the way, there are natural landscapes such as Millennium lake, peacock stream, qidai waterfall and macaque area. From Millennium tanxia to Longfeng waterfall, the scenic area uses the valley bottom drop to set up water retaining and storage dams of different sizes and heights, forming a multi-level cascade waterfall and many Bitan waterfalls, which zigzag around the valley bottom. The hillsides on both sides of the valley are planted with romantic and emotional trees to form romantic and personalized landscape features, which integrate the non-material cultural heritage of "Miao carving", "Miao sister Festival", "Liu Sanjie ballad", "Ganzhuang mountain ballad", "Korean springboard swing" and "Huaer" and other love songs.
