According to the investigation, there are nine typical waterfalls, all of which are distributed near Beilongtan, except for "White Snake spitting" in the West and "arrow pit" in the south. With a drop of 80 meters, "White Snake spitting cloth" is located between the two peaks of shield and arrow in Huaguo Mountain scenic area. Every winter, Longkou often forms an ice dam, and the waterfall stops flowing. When the accumulated water deepens and the pressure increases, the waterfall will burst through the ice dam and gush out, which looks like "White Snake" spitting cloth; "Beilongtan" waterfall has a drop of 60 meters, the cliffs are covered with moss, and the Longkou spouts jade beads.

The southeast of Zushan is facing the Bohai Sea, which is greatly affected by the sea breeze in summer. The average temperature in July is lower than 23 ℃, so it is an ideal place for summer vacation.

Buddha light

In July 1998, Buddha light was first discovered in Zushan, and then appeared many times, adding a new aura to Zushan. The historical sites are peculiar and the legends are moving. Although there are not many historic sites in Zushan, they have their own characteristics. The great wall of Ming Dynasty is connected with the change of topography and stands high on the top of steep cliff. The Great Wall at huachangyu, Weiziyu, yiyuankou and Jianganling has its own unique features. On the back of the cliff, there was only one way to climb the mountain, which was composed of cypress hanging ladder.

Four seasons scenery

In spring, flowers are blooming and birds are singing. Zushan is a famous mountain of flowers. In spring, rhododendrons spread all over the mountains from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, followed by broccoli, lilac, eight immortals and Dongling hydrangea. In particular, the rare alpine flower "Magnolia tiannu" makes you feel more relaxed. This flower is a plant left over from the Paleozoic era. It can only grow and bloom normally in the mountains above 1000 meters above sea level. The middle of June is the peak flowering period. At this time, when you walk into the garden, you can see its flowers, which are pure and refined. When you smell the flowers, they are fragrant and refreshing. At this time, the colorful mountain flowers are blooming, which will make you linger.

In summer, the wind is cool and the clouds are steaming. When you climb the main peak, you can see the sea of clouds, the sunrise, the Buddha light and the mountains. Cloud sea, cloud flow and cloud waterfall are the unique landscapes of Zushan mountain in summer. Because of the high altitude of Zushan mountain and its proximity to the Bohai Sea, when they climb to any peak, they can see the surging sea of clouds and touch the white clouds passing by. For a moment, they walk around the mountain like clouds and flowing water; for a moment, they curl up into the blue sky like a spring tide of melting snow; for a moment, they gallop and roar like wild horses and Jiaolong into the sea. When you stroll in the "Beilongtan" and "Huaguoshan" scenic spots, you can see the valley with a trickle of clear water; when you look up at the mountains, the waterfalls are flying and roaring, and you have the spirit of "flying down 3000 feet, I suspect the Milky way is falling nine days". It's really water around the green mountains, mountains around the water, mountains floating green water, water floating mountains.

In autumn, the mountains are full of red leaves and the wild fruits are fragrant. When the autumn wind passes by, the green all over the mountains is stained with yellow, brown, red and purple. The natural and unrestrained yellow and the fiery red are just like a huge oil painting under the embellishment of green pines and cypresses. It's also the harvest season at this time. Shanbangzi, wild walnuts, Guawei pear and kiwi fruit are fragrant, not to mention two. Even if you take a look at them, they will make you salivate.

In winter, silver is wrapped in plain clothes, Yushu is full of flowers. In winter, Zushan mountain, a secluded valley, is strangely quiet and bright. The fog stall in the ditch and the tree hanging on the slope make up Zushan with enchanting scenery.
