Around the nunnery, the scenery is quiet, the mountains are stacked, the pines and stones are strange, the bamboo is green, and the streams are surrounded. Baiyun scenic area integrates pine, stone and spring, which is unique in Huangshan Mountains and waters. Baiyun river is full of water and connected with waterfalls and pools. There are more than 10 suspended waterfalls on the Bank of the river, which are like the sound of a zither. After the rain, the water surges, the torrent rushes, and the sound shakes the valley. The mountains and waters burst out, forming a waterfall, which is as good as practice, splashing beads and jade.
