Main attractions
Natural bridge
Tianshengqiao in Meijiang scenic area, also known as Shenxianqiao, is located in the limestone of Maokou Formation on the east wing of chetianjiang Syncline in Lianshao basin. It is formed by the dissolution of groundwater and gravity collapse for thousands of years. It is the only hyperbolic three pore authigenic bridge found in carbonate salt solution developed areas in China.
In the south of the bridge, there is a single span bridge with a height of 40 meters and a span of 10 meters. It is called "neixian bridge" to cross the stream. To the north, there is a double span bridge with a height of 50 meters, which is called "waixian bridge". The inner and outer fairyland bridges are connected to form a complete and natural three hole overpass. Under the bridge, there is a stream flowing through, and there are four small stone peaks beside the bridge, just like four piers
Lotus spring
Lotus spring is located in Guanyin cliff zangjun Cave Scenic Area, which is a rising spring with large flow. The maximum discharge of the spring is 5000L / s, and the minimum is 500L / s. It is a spring with constant water throughout the year. The spring water gushes out from five encircled springs, and the diameter of each spring is 1-2m.
Zangjun cave
It is a large natural karst cave with a length of 25000 meters and a proven length of 4000 meters. There are caves in the cave and rivers in the cave. The underground river flows in a zigzag way. The caves are distributed in the middle and Upper Carboniferous carbonate rocks. Stalactites are very rich in the cave: stalagmites, stone pillars, stone mantles, stone buildings and stone statues are everywhere. The cave is one of the rare large-scale carbonate karst caves in China, with unique structure, colorful stalactites, wonderful landscapes and rare treasures.
The developed 4000 m cave is composed of 12 large karst cave groups. From the entrance to the inside, there are many karst cave landscape areas, such as Hujun hall, Huidi hall, liangchongtian hall, Nanxun hall, never night city, Longfeng palace, Beiguo hall, Jiangnan hall, jiangheba hall, parade field and national treasure hall. Karst caves are generally 5-30m in height, 60-100m in length, 10-20m in width and 60-200m2 in area. Twelve caves are distributed in a string of spheres along the underground river, and there are tunnels (underground river pipelines) between the caves.
Guanyin cliff
The elevation of Guanyin cliff in Meijiang river is 499.8m, and the relative elevation difference is 300m. It is a semicircular cliff with a ring diameter of about 500m, which is formed by erosion.
Guanyin cliff was originally a water cave, which was formed by the rising of the earth's crust and continuous collapse. There are still five Juebi caves on the cliff, such as Guanyin cave, Tibetan Buddha cave, Luohan cave, Panjiao cave and Tibetan Scripture cave.
Ten miles Gallery
The Shili Gallery of the Meijiang scenic spot is located on the Huangluo bay wall, known as "three Xiangs and one unique". The cliff is majestic. It is north-south along the Meijiang river bank, and North-South along the Meijiang river bank, It is 3500 meters long and 360 meters high from the river bed. The cliff section is almost vertical. The cliff is colorful due to weathering. Its color changes with the seasons. It is a colorful ten mile gallery. It can be said that it is rare for Chinese experts to have such a picture in karst landform area. It is a national geological relic.
Saihai Lake
Saihai lake is a natural karst lake, also known as Meitang lake. In ancient times, it was the first of the "eight scenic spots of Anhua". Its water area is 8 million cubic meters, and its surface elevation is 329.7 meters, 329.7 meters. It is an underground lake formed by the dissolution of structural fissures along the northwest direction Due to the uplift of the earth's crust to the surface, the lake was originally an underground river in an underground karst cave formed by the dissolution of NW trending structural fissures. Later, due to the uplift of the earth's crust to the surface, the cave top collapsed and fell after weathering, denudation, erosion and dissolution, and gradually developed into a lake.
Immortal house
Xianrenfu is a large natural bridge formed by vertical joints and fissures under the action of groundwater dissolution and gravity collapse. It is a geological relic landscape group composed of cliffs, Tianshengqiao, karst caves, canyons, waterfalls and streams.
Xianren cave is 280 meters long, 30 meters wide and 60 meters high. It is characterized by a hole in the cave, a sky in the cave, a flying bridge under the world, water flowing under the bridge, a waterfall, and a turtle stone falling from the waterfall. In particular, two natural born bridges fly in the air, with a height of 50 meters and a span of 30 meters, which are rare authigenic stone arch bridges in the world. The shape of the double hole Tianshengqiao is similar to "Mei" with the initial letter "m" in pinyin, and the shape of the single hole Tianshengqiao is similar to "Jiang" with the initial letter "J" in pinyin. The combination of the two forms "MJ" - Meijiang river, which is a scenic spot with typical domain name signs in China.

Due to the erosion of surface water, the dissolution of groundwater and the physical weathering along the joints and fissures, it is a unique geological landscape group, such as funnel, depression, stone cone, stone peak and a line of sky. The shapes of the stone peaks are different, like human beings and things, like birds and animals, lifelike. The main scenic spots are: Xianglu peak, eight sceneries of one stone, Deshengmen, ancient battlefield, ancient fort, Tiantan ready to go, fubinghao, Shiqi, Huabiao, xiongshishouzhai, Wumen, etc. In particular, the "one stone and eight sceneries" pillar stands on a wide flat ground, more than 20 meters high.
