Main attractions

Dafengbao primeval forest

Fengfengbao primeval forest in Huangshui National Forest Park is known as "green treasure house". Its main peak, 1934 meters above sea level, belongs to Qiyao mountain of Wushan mountain system, with undulating mountains, emerald mountains and crisscross gullies. It is known as "fairyland in East Chongqing". It is the highest peak in Shizhu County and the highest peak in East Chongqing. It is also known as "the first peak in East Chongqing". Because of the roar of strong wind all the year round, the mountains are big, the trees are big, and the wind blows. When the wind blows, the wind rises, the clouds surge, the forest waves burst, and the mountain wind whines, so it is called "Dafengbao".

Twelve garden sister peaks

Twelve garden sister peak is located in the southwest of Huangshui Town, northwest of Dafengbao. When the weather is fine, you can have a panoramic view of Dafengbao peak. There are twelve stone pillars on the twelve sisters peak, just like the fairies in heaven. They are graceful, with different poses and vivid images, so they are named.

He Shangpo

Monk slope is close to twelve garden sister peak. There are three stones on the slope. The origin of the stone is rather strange. According to legend, there were three monks on this slope. The big monk and the second monk jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements. But the three monks are young, and their fate is not over. Although they are in Buddhism, they still love the world. One day, the three monks secretly went to the other end of the mountain to meet a village girl and did not return for a long time. The great monk and the second monk, after their unsuccessful search, returned to wait until they passed away and turned into two stones. When Sanhe Shangren is old, they repent and decide to stay beside the two stones forever, which forms the third one.

Yuquan Temple

Yuquan temple, formerly known as Yuhuang temple, was built on the main peak of fengfengbao. During the Ming Dynasty, Zen master breaking the moon traveled around the stone pillars to popularize Buddhism in Panlong Temple (now gingko Hall). During this period, he taught many monks and disciples, including Qin Liangyu, a famous woman towel country. In the temple, a monk Zhiku realized his Buddhism and decided to practice hard. He gave alms all the way to the top of Dafengbao to see the majestic sea of clouds and steep mountains. He forgot to repair the temple. On the other hand, when he heard that the Qing army had entered the pass and the Ming Dynasty had died, the monk was so sad that he jumped down from the cliff at the top of the peak to become a martyr. The temple was destroyed during the cultural revolution. After renovation, it is now open to the public. It is a place for pilgrims to pray, pray and return their wishes.

Youcao River, known as "xiaojiuzhaigou", originates from motianpo in the revival zone of Dafengbao nature reserve, with a total length of 42.9 kilometers and a drainage area of 316.1 square kilometers. It is named because the river is green, like crystal clear Jasper, and there is a green water grass beside the river. The scenic area covers an area of 14.3 square kilometers.
