Scenery

Hundreds of miles around the scenic area, the teardrop river runs through it. The peaks stand upright and the cliffs overlap. Between the two cliffs, it is only four or five meters wide. Looking up at the cliffs, you can only see a ray of sky light. The ancient trees are dense and quiet. The plain turbulent green pool reflects back to the Qing Dynasty. "Walking on the clear spring stone, the birdsong mountain is more secluded." Birds play in groups in the Qingtan lake. There are often high apes crowing and badger pigs, and Xuanquan waterfall flying back,

With the rising and falling of the sun, the water mist of tens of meters changes rapidly, sometimes with seven colors of rainbow, sometimes with strings of silver beads.

In the scenic area, there are many stalagmites, grotesque caves and rocks, precious medicinal materials and rare trees.

Baiguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot has developed into a tourist attraction integrating food, housing, transportation, tourism, shopping and entertainment.

The magnificent archways, magnificent villas, stilts, cable bridges, magnificent pavilions, swimming pools, Diaoyutai, the perfect human landscape and the picturesque natural landscape of "mountain light and bird nature, floating shadow and empty heart" make visitors fascinated and forget to return. I refused to leave for a long time.

Social impression

When you enter the scenic area, you can see an ancient forest path. On the left side of the path is a flowing stream. The stream is clear, sweet and clear. It is fast or slow, meandering all the way, playing music that is light, melodious or exciting.

On the right side of the path are the continuous mountains, with dense forests and abundant grass, flowers and butterflies dancing, birds singing, mountain streams, and all kinds of precious trees and flowers scattered all over the place. Deep in the jungle, you can see groups of monkeys playing in the mountains.

If you catch up with the breeder to feed, you can only hear a whistle, and the monkeys flock down from the top of the mountain to jump among the trees. When you are still amazed at their agility, the monkeys will enjoy delicious food not far away.

How can it not be exciting to have such close contact with wild macaques?

Go against the water, different mountains, different water, colorful, beautiful scenery everywhere, people are overwhelmed. There are more than 20 scenic spots, including Cambrian Tianshu, wutao xianshou, Shengui Yingbin, miaobishenghua, earth ring, sutra cave, zhipaste cave, shuilian cave, Wugui Xiaotian, yinmayan, Sixiang, Changqiao Feidu, Baren Dawe cave, Yerengu, Hukou waterfall, Pearl Waterfall, foyenan, Longtan, waterfall, Taishan Buddha, etc There is a beautiful legend behind the scenic spots.

Just as you are intoxicated with the beautiful scenery by the side of the road, there is a loud thunder in your ear.

Following the prestige, a huge white horse is hanging high in the mountains and straight down to the bottom of the valley. This is the Three Gorges waterfall! Closer, you can see the waterfall rushing down. Where the waterfall passes, there are flying flowers, flowing jade, water mist, and gossamer water vapor. A rainbow across the mountains sets off the waterfall more rugged, heroic and beautiful.

Standing on the waterfall observation platform, looking up at the waterfall, the crystal clear water falls on the face and body, like the spring breeze, which makes people feel the strange tenderness of Baiguoshu waterfall.

Below the waterfall is the waterfall pool, where the water is close to the waterfall, and the foam is rolling, as white as snow, just like the blue sky swept by a jet plane. There is an ambulatory at the foot of the mountain behind the waterfall, which is embedded in the rocks. Wearing a raincoat, you can look back at the waterfall on the ambulatory, watch the majestic posture of the waterfall, listen to the roaring sound of tigers and dragons, feel the avalanche and tsunami like formation, and experience the rain and bullets "Attack", you will feel completely integrated with the waterfall, and the feeling is completely different from that of watching the waterfall.

Compared with Huangguoshu waterfall in Guizhou Province, which is known as "the first waterfall in China", the Three Gorges waterfall, which is 102 meters high and 80 meters wide, is 30 meters higher, with more abundant water and more majestic momentum. It never stops playing a touching "heroic Symphony".

On the left side of the waterfall is a long, narrow and deep pool. The pool faces the mountain on three sides. There are many "pocket waterfalls" of different sizes on the rocks. The thin mist falls down the mountain and falls into the pool, just like a fairy scattering flowers. At the end of the pool, there is another amazing natural wonder - Mount Tai Buddha.

The Giant Buddha on the boulder is kind-hearted, serene, smiling and mouth opening. Needless to say, it must be a blessing for tourists.

It is said that a long time ago, the local people worshipped the gods here because of the long drought. They finally moved the fairy of Mount Tai who practiced here,

She turned her tears into mountain springs to save the local people. After thousands of years, a giant Buddha grew on the boulder, praying for blessings and eliminating disasters. In order to thank and commemorate the fairies of Mount Tai, the villagers built a prosperous ancient temple of Mount Tai at the exit of the canyon, renamed it Mount Tai Temple Village, and named it "Mount Tai" for the Giant Buddha. If you visit here and pray in front of the Buddha statue, you will be able to get rid of diseases and build up your body.

From the other side of the stream channel back, is a new landscape. There are different shapes, different sizes, and different currents: some are wide and deep, but the bottom is not visible; some are clear, and the current is cheerful Every place is a favorite setting for photographers, and is the bright color in landscape paintings.

Playing enough water, you can also climb mountains and walk through the dense jungle. It's really a pleasure in the green tent. If you climb to the top of the mountain, you can also enjoy the ancient dwellings hundreds of years ago, taste the original local farmhouse food, enjoy the simple farmhouse customs, and truly experience the rural style which is quite different from the urban life.

"The light of the mountain is pleasing to birds, the shadow of the pool is empty of people's heart". Traveling among the beautiful mountains and waters of the Three Gorges Waterfall Scenic Spot, you can feel the majestic Tang poetry and the gentle song poetry, which makes you dream back to your hometown and intoxicated.
