brief introduction

In 1999, it was rated as a national A-level tourist area and a county-level scenic spot. It is a typical water eroded canyon. The scenic area is in a "V" shape, with a total length of 8 kilometers and a total area of 5.3 square kilometers.

Famous scenic spot

The canyon is most famous for its rocks, caves, pools, waterfalls and walls. In the scenic area, there are more than 100 natural pools, including 4-5 meters deep, 3 over 2000 square meters deep, 1-3 meters deep and more than 30 square meters in area, which are known as "natural swimming pool" and "natural river bed".

There are various shapes of strange stones around the pool, such as crocodile stone, stone stool, stone house, etc. Among them, the most peculiar landscapes are "wind stone", Tianmen gorge and natural river bed. Located at the top of the mountain, the stone is about 2 meters high, oval and weighs about 5 tons. People can shake it with their hands, but it will never fall. Tianmen gorge is about 7 meters high and 50 cm wide. It enters along the stone tablet, and the turning point is about 30 cm wide. It is a natural cave that can accommodate more than 10 people. There is a "three pillars" landscape composed of three stones on it. The natural river bed is located at the bottom of jiuwanxian gorge, with a total length of about 10000 meters and an average width of about 70 meters. The water flows from west to East. The riverbed of the gorge is composed of two natural rock walls. The rock walls are smooth and slightly concave in the middle. The height difference between the upper and lower rock walls is about 1.5m. The area of the upper rock wall is about 1000 square meters, the middle is slightly concave, there is water, the deepest is about 0.5 meters, like a natural plate. Water flows down the cliff like a natural slide. The cliff is about 1.5 meters high and 1 meter wide with a slope of 45 degrees. The cliff is smooth. The area of the lower rock wall is about 2000 square meters, the middle is slightly concave, the deepest is about 1 meter, and there is water in the middle. The water quality of the stream in the canyon is clear, reaching the national first-class drinking water standard.

Jiuwanxian gorge is a NW-SE trending fault, which was formed in the process of Mesozoic crustal uplift due to the erosion of zhangcunyuan, a tributary of ZHENWANG port, and the difference of surface uplift and lithology. The hard rhyolite in the canyon is strongly eroded and worn by the flowing water, and its surface becomes extremely smooth. Due to the narrow channel at the outlet, the larger slope, the greater scouring force and carrying force of the flowing water, the bedrock of the channel is exposed, the pebbles and fine sand are deposited, and the large stones are accumulated to form the geological landscape of water slide slope and natural river bed The view is formed by the collapse of rocks, such as wind rock, Tianmen gorge and other landscapes.

The scenic area is surrounded by cliffs, beautiful scenery, forest coverage of more than 95%, vegetation subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest and bamboo forest. There are many flowers and weeds on the mountain, and colorful stones are all over the lower reaches of the river, with red, yellow, blue and white colors. If it floats or sinks, it will be colorful. The scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter is different.
