The Datong River runs through it, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, forming a unique landscape of zigzag peaks and mountains and rivers. The whole park is densely wooded, verdant, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and rich in natural landscape.

Zhalong is like a huge antler, with ravines, dense trees and beautiful scenery. The black Zhaqu highway turns south and east along the Zhalong River, leading to the valley. Looking from afar, it is like two winding snakes, black and white, winding and crawling between the high Gorges.

It gives people a sense of beauty that Jiangnan is not better than Jiangnan. The scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter is different, but each has its own interesting place.

When the late spring kisses Zhalong on the plateau, it's the late spring season with beautiful spring, green sea and pleasant scenery at the foot of the mountain. However, the mountain is still full of the new idea of early spring. After the severe winter, the little Rhododendron stretches its green leaves, and its branches are covered with dense purple rhododendron flowers, bending its branches heavily.

Main attractions

Yaoshuiquan waterfall

Deep in Zhalong Valley, under the towering Goddess Peak, there is a waterfall composed of spring water. On the green carpet like hillside, the spring water flies down, bursting with beads and splashing with jade. The landscape is very spectacular. Praise the poem:

Green carpet covered with water and moss

Hidden trees, stone forest, white haze

Quiet and fantastic, like fairyland

Goddess offers medicine spring with affection

Yaoshuiquan waterfall is composed of 108 springs with a total flow of 194.60l/s, a drop of more than 40 meters and a width of about 50 meters. It is said that it can cure 108 kinds of diseases. It is said that there was a Tibetan miracle doctor who went through hardships and found that this water can cure diseases, and the curative effect is magical. After tasting 108 springs, a stone tablet was set up beside each spring. It was written on the stone tablet that the spring could cure the disease. The local people drank the spring to cure the disease according to the inscription on the stone tablet. After the miracle doctor died, a quack went to Zhalong Valley and wanted to buy medicine to make money, but no one came to him to ask for medicine. When he learned that people were going to drink spring water for treatment, he went into the mountain and smashed 107 stone tablets. Only one stone tablet for treating stomach disease has been preserved.

Yaoshui spring is a kind of natural mineral water with high content of free CO2 and trace elements such as sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, magnesium and manganese. Drinking this water often can treat gastrointestinal diseases, and bathing often can prevent and treat all kinds of arthritis and skin diseases. If combined with Chinese herbal medicine, the curative effect is better.

Ranbuzang mountain

Ranbuzang mountain is located in Jiatang, Huarui holy mountain. The top of the mountain is often covered with snow.

Some poems praise it as follows:

Silver on the back of a tortoise

I want to fly

Don't give up the original beauty

Prosperity and prosperity forever

Optimus Prime

Optimus a pillar, it is about 30 meters high, magnificent. It is a common Danxia stone column, which is composed of white system glutenite. Before, it was integrated with the surrounding mountains. Later, it was continuously weathered along the rock fissures. Under the action of water erosion and gravity, it was separated from the mountains, forming the current stone column state.

It is said that there is a hole at the top of the pillar, in which there is a geomantic treasure book. On the cliff opposite to Optimus Prime across the Datong River, there is a rugged natural Sutra tablet, which is similar to Tibetan. The local people call it the "confession Sutra tablet". The huge stone in front of us is like a Golden Toad, and the round hole on the top of the mountain is like a full moon. This scenic spot is called "Golden Toad watching the moon".

Old man collecting herbs
