The whole terrain of the nature reserve gradually decreases from YINZUI BAIYUNZHANG in the southeast, from doutoutou makangshanxiang to Changshan in the Southwest (above 700 meters above sea level), to shigu reservoir in the North (103 meters above sea level), forming a funnel-shaped rain collecting area in the north.

The parent rock of soil formation in the nature reserve is granite, and the soil type changes with the altitude of the mountain area: red soil below 600 meters above sea level, yellow soil above 600 meters above sea level.

Yinpingshan nature reserve is located in the south of Tropic of cancer, with subtropical monsoon climate. It is characterized by long summer without winter, sufficient sunshine, abundant rainfall, abundant heat and mild climate. The annual average temperature is between 21 ℃ and 22 ℃.

Jiaoziyuan, to the west of BAIYUNZHANG, has been flowing to shigu reservoir. The main stream runs through most areas of the nature reserve. Streams crisscross in the reserve. Due to the large drop of streams, many cascades are formed, which is very spectacular. Most of the streams flow to the northwest and northeast, and finally flow to shigu reservoir in the north of the nature reserve. Shigu reservoir, with a capacity of 6.1 million cubic meters, supplies drinking water and farmland irrigation to Xiegang town in Dongguan City and Lilin town in Huizhou City.

Main attractions

Yinpingshan nature reserve is located in Dongguan City, Southeast of Guangdong Province, at the junction of Huiyang City. Among them, Yinpingzui mountain (898.2 meters) is the highest peak in Dongguan City. BAIYUNZHANG at the junction of Huiyang City is 1003.5 meters above sea level. There are five peaks above 700 meters in the area. This is a rare natural resource in Dongguan City, which is mainly plain and platform. Yinpingshan nature reserve is rich in animal and plant resources, dense and green trees, charming scenery, birds singing everywhere, cicadas singing, waterfalls falling, which constitute a unique natural landscape of the reserve. Combined with local folklore, it is full of magical color and charm. The main scenic spots in the area are:

1. "Fairy monkey watching the moon": This is a COSCO scenic spot. When you enter the nature reserve from Nanmian village, you can see Yinpingzui mountain from a distance, like the head of an orangutan looking eastward. When you watch YINZUI mountain from the dam of the reservoir or on the way to the management station of the nature reserve, it is like "fairy monkey watching the moon".

2. Shigu reservoir: the whole reservoir runs through the middle of the reserve, and the water is as clear as a mirror. Walking on the dam of the reservoir, you can see the clear water, blue sky and green mountains. You can see the reflection of the mountains on the opposite side, and you can feel the feeling of "high gorge out of Pinghu". If there is a breeze, the lake is sparkling, and the fresh mountain breeze blows on the tourists' faces, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. From February to March every year, the mountain full of "spring to red" (red lotus) flowers, red flowers appear green, more Litsea cubeba golden Coix flower embellishment among them, particularly enchanting. From April to may, the Castanopsis fissa trees bloom, and the beautiful white Castanopsis fissa flowers are dotted in the green clusters; in autumn, the red Sapium sebiferum and maple leaves dye the forest; in winter, the clouds and fog are between Yinpingzui mountain and BAIYUNZHANG, which shows the grandeur of Dongguan's highest peak.

3. Lingnan good orchard: it is mainly distributed in the north and south of Shigu reservoir, a small part of the foothills, covering an area of 210.6 hectares, most of which are litchi and longan, and a small number of other varieties. From July to August is the mature period of longan and litchi. Opening up the Lingnan fruit tasting area can increase tourists' pleasure.

4. Fishing area: as shigu reservoir is the edible water source of Xiegang Town, it is not allowed to establish large-scale or polluted water play projects, so the development of fishing area is a tourism project with small investment and pollution. Fishing can slow down the sense of urgency brought by urban life, and it is a fashionable leisure way for people to cultivate their self-cultivation, which can be both tranquil and pleasant. The vertical hook area is located in the fish pond at the end of the pit of Shigu reservoir. Because it is near the management station of the nature reserve, the method of processing while fishing can be set up, so that tourists can taste the fresh fish and increase the fun of fishing.

5. Waixingkeng peacock waterfall: This is the opposite mountain pit two-thirds of the distance from datui forest farm to Duotian. There are three round small pools (one big and two small) at the mouth of the pit, which are especially obvious in autumn and winter. It seems that it is caused by the impact of Yunxing. There are several large stones on both sides of the pit. Enter 20 meters along the Shiwei path (rather dangerous, which needs to be built for the tour road), and you can see a peacock (rainy season) ）In front of the waterfall, there is a huge stone on the right side. There are ivy and small trees on the wall. The brave can pick up the ivy to reach the top of the waterfall. At this time, you can see a small Canyon in front of you. The walls on both sides are as vertical as knives.

6. Double cascades: This is the parking lot of Duotian. Two hundred meters ahead, you can hear the sound if you don't see its shape. Through the roadside woods, you can see two waterfalls. The upstream waterfall is four or five meters high, and there are more than ten square meters of pools under the two waterfalls. The water surface is clear and you can see the game of small fish in the mountain stream. Among them, the water spider is waiting for the water surface, the water is murmuring, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and the movement is quiet Ming Dynasty, a beautiful natural environment of paradise. Every summer and autumn, visitors come here to play and bathe.

7. Baizhang waterfall: from shuangdiewaterfall back to the main road and up 300 meters to the rest Pavilion (also as a lookout), you can see two waterfalls (one long and one short) rushing out of the woods along the pine tree nest (about one kilometer away). The former is tens of meters high, which seems to be pulling out two bundles of silver wire from the green ocean, and the sound of water splashing can be heard from a distance. Such as after rain or winter clouds around it, the two waterfalls like water from the sky in general, more God. If you can open up a tour road to the front, you can experience its majestic momentum more deeply.

8. Guanyin sitting lotus: This is a small platform on a ridge with flat terrain. There are several small convex mounds around it. The whole plot looks like Guanyin lady sitting lotus. It is said that in ancient times, five generals successively came to suppress bandits, and they were defeated many times. One day, the generals came to Guanyin sitting in the lotus and asked Guanyin lady to help them. Inspired by the general's sincere spirit of suppressing bandits and eliminating harm for the people, Guanyin lady agreed to help them. She gave them an iron hat and sprinkled the immortal water in the silver bottle mountain to protect the soldiers from being shot. Soon, general Wudao led his soldiers to wipe out the bandits. Later, in memory of Goddess Guanyin, we called this place "Guanyin sitting lotus", and piled all the iron caps on the mountain not far from the south, and named it "iron cap top". In order to keep the place safe and the people live and work in peace and contentment, goddess Guanyin put a silver vase full of fairy water on the highest peak of Dongguan, and later generations named it "Yinpingzui mountain".

9. Ma Ma Ma pees: This is the waterfall flowing down from the hill pit of niuweizhangao opposite the brigade forest farm. Due to the small flow, the waterfall is scattered in the process of falling. In addition to the season, rainfall and other reasons, the waterfall is stable and the female horse pees, so it is named "Ma Ma Ma pees".

10. "Chunlaihong" scenic spot: there is a large red lotus forest in the southeast of the reserve. When it blooms from February to march in spring, the red flowers of the red lotus can be seen on the road from the management station to Yinpingzui mountain, which is called "chunlaihong" by local people.

11. "Immortal spring" scenic spot: this scenic spot is under the big stone at the top of YINZUI mountain. Because it is located at the top of the mountain, there is no vegetation around it, but there is a gurgling spring flowing out all the year round. It's quite strange. It's said that it's the vase of Goddess Guanyin left here, so it's named "immortal spring".
