Tianmenya
Tianmenya is 2328m above sea level, 12km away from Hongping. It is close to Donggou and Haofang in the southwest, and faces YANZIYA in the northeast. On both sides of tianmenya, the cliffs are stacked with rocks, and pine, birch, yew and mountain flowers are mixed. Every morning on a sunny day, when the clouds are diffuse or the sun is slanting, the clouds pass through the mountain pass, and the mountain pass is looming; on a cloudy day, the clouds stay all day long, and the car lights and honks when passing in the daytime. It is named because it is often covered by clouds and mists, and it is as cloudy as the sky.
YANZIYA
YANZIYA is a pass with an altitude of 2200 meters. National Highway 209 runs through the cliff. On the cliff, pine and fir are green, and red birch is covered with cotton. From a distance, you can see the mountains on both sides of the cliff. It looks like a flying swallow spreading its wings. Because there is a famous Yanzidong nearby, it is named "YANZIYA". YANZIYA is a man-made gully. In order to connect the 209 national highway, 108 workers, called "100 Dan Ba Jiang", worked in groups of four every day and night. They used more than 50 days to drill 27 blasting shafts here. Then each shaft was filled with explosives, and 7500 kg of explosives were loaded into one shaft at zhengyakou. On the day of blasting, as soon as the detonating motor turned, the sound of blasting suddenly shook the sky. The rocks were divided into four parts, flying sand and moving rocks, whistling past, and there was a tendency of overwhelming. After that, this artificial gully appeared.
Swallow Cave
Yanzi cave is a landmark landscape of YANZIYA. The cave is deep and quiet with a height of about 20 meters. It is quite wide and can hold thousands of people. There is a side hole on the right side and a small hole on the upper left side. It comes out of the cliff and sunlight can shine into the hole. There are many stalactites in the cave, the sound of water drops is like a harp, and swallow nests are all over the cave wall. The swishing sound of the Golden Swallow is endless, and the cold wind is blowing. About 50 meters into the hole, there is no light, the more you go in, the more dark, less than 100 meters, you can't see your fingers. But these swallows are totally unaware that when swallows return to their nests, there are countless. They don't hit the cliff, they don't collide with each other, they can fall back to their nest in the dark.
Flying across the clouds
Feiyundu is a steel structure observation bridge over the gully of YANZIYA. The steel bridge is high in suspension and long in span. It is the highest landscape bridge in Asia. It's amazing and fascinating to get on the Yantian ferry, the unpredictable natural landscape and the boundless virgin forest. The old boxwood on both sides of the Strait, the simple tulip rock cypress, the vigorous and straight fir, the animals and birds flying in the forest, all are so harmonious and quiet, comfortable and serene.
