Main attractions

Changhai

Changhai is the Haizi with the highest altitude in songpinggou. When you get to the seaside, you can experience the realm of "unlimited scenery in dangerous peaks". The sea is a high mountain barrier lake formed by the earthquake. It is named Changhai because it is long. The long sea is 900 meters long, with 110 mu of water area and 2900 meters above sea level. Standing by the sea, you can feel relaxed and poetic. Changhai is very mysterious, it is said that sometimes throwing stones into the sea or making a loud noise will cause hail and rainstorm. Therefore, we must appreciate it with the spirit of shield and sword. If we speak in a loud voice, we will startle the people in the sky. The water lies between heaven and earth. Many legends are hidden in the depths. The word "green" and the word "quiet" are everything. The peaceful and real water is like a sleeping beauty.

Mohai

Mohai is the most peculiar sea. The color of water is as deep as blue ink, so it is called mohai. Mohai is formed by the subsidence of rock wall and the blocking of water flow by the collapse of mountains. It covers an area of 28 mu. The water is deposited on the dark blue rocks, and the bottom is not visible. The surrounding mountains, trees with green leaves, green pines and miscellaneous flowers and plants are reflected in the water. The water inside and outside interact with each other, and the water becomes dark blue as ink, just like a pool of ink.

Pearl Shoal Waterfall

Pearl Waterfall is a piece of water flowing on the stone slab. In the Diexi earthquake, the originally gentle slope land glided down, and the rock was just like the naked body of the stripped clothes. Water flowed from above, flying pearls and splashing jade, like shining pearls. Pearl Waterfall is small and exquisite. When it is different from the magnificent momentum of other waterfalls, it gives people a delicate feeling. The mountains are high and the waters are long, and the snow-white water drops are pure. If you sit on a stone and listen to the sound, you will feel relaxed and happy.

Baishihai

Baishi sea is the largest Haizi in Diexi songpinggou scenic area, also known as Gongpeng sea and walpu sea. It is named after a mysterious Baishi, which is 1600 meters in length, 250 meters in width, 400000 square meters in water area and more than 80 meters in the deepest. The shape of the sea is like a flat scythe. The point of the scythe is the deepest. It is heartbreaking green between the point of the scythe and the cliff. From the tip of the scythe to the end of the scythe, there is a "sea horse line" across the middle, which divides the water into two parts. The blue sky and white clouds on the surface of the lake are reflected in the green mountains and forests. The sea is full of mysterious legends, such as the white stone on the seashore. The legend is that the stake of the sea horse is growing every year and will never be submerged. Some people also say that when the red army passed the Qiang village, Xu Qianqian used it to tie horses, so he had aura.

Multicolored pool

Colorful pool is a colorful water, also known as the sea of love, which always gives people five colors of mood. The pool is located in the middle of Shuimogou. It is like a woman hiding in the boudoir. The sound of water on the stone is like Bai Juyi's poem "big beads fall on the jade plate". The grass growing by the pool is in pairs. It is said that the grass is in pairs. If one of them is hurt, the other will wither slowly. It is a symbol of faithful love. Therefore, the pool water is like a mirror, transparent and pure, containing the lofty feelings of the world. With it, as long as the heart is sincere, there will be a good marriage.

Shangbailahai

Shangbailahai is named for its location above bailaizhai. It is 900 meters long, 250 meters wide and covers an area of 101 mu. The water area is located between two narrow mountains. The mountains reflect back. It's hard to tell which is the water, which is the sky, and which is the mountain. It's like being in a fairy tale world when people are in it. The water is full of algae and moss, showing a variety of colors of dark green, dark blue and jadeite in the same piece of water. Whether it's the early sun, or the setting sun, sunny or rainy days, or spring, summer, autumn and winter, the scenery always follows your heart. It can remind you of the poem "the light of the lake is light, and the color of the mountain is also strange. If you want to compare the West Lake with the West Lake, it's always appropriate to make up light".

Lower bailahai

Xiabaila sea is named after it is located below Bailai village. Haizi is long and winding, like a constellation in the sky. It is 2430 meters above sea level, 127 Mu above sea level, and has 950000 cubic meters of water storage. The water is green, quiet and beautiful, and the green hills are reflected in it, giving people the feeling of "wandering in the sky, clouds and shadows". In shallow water, mosses, water plants and other plants fluctuate with the waves, changing thousands of colors. Sometimes wild ducks flock together to play, bringing a quiet, peaceful and pure feeling into their hearts. And because the depth of the water is different from the growth of plants, the water is colorful and beautiful.
