Main attractions

Galaxy magpie bridge

You can see from the direction I pointed out that there is a huge stone arch above the valley, which is the unique landscape of ancient crustal movement - anticline structure. It is an arched rock layer formed by the mutual extrusion of crustal movement rock layers, just like a person's arched back.

Local people call this landscape the Milky Way magpie bridge. They believe Niulang and Zhinu meet here. It's also said that people who love each other will completely merge and never separate when they cross this transparent river together from here.

Yuanyang waterfall

There is a cave at the top of the waterfall. Water flows out of the cave to form two waterfalls, like a pair of lovers, inseparable and dependent. People often say they love you for ten thousand years, but they have been together for millions of years!

Yuanyang waterfall is not only a beautiful landscape, but also the main water source of Shuiyin village. The water quality is very good and can be drunk directly.

Biandan Gorge

The narrow clear pool is like a slightly curved crystal pole, so the canyon gets its name. The green bamboos on both sides are bent, and the green shop full of eyes falls down, hanging on the edge of the cliff, as if you were in the green ocean. Further down, walking to the edge of the pool, you can see countless crystal clear water drops falling from the cliff into the crystal pool. In the morning sun, the rainbow appears and disappears, and it seems that you are in the crystal world.

Fish pool

The first waterfall you can see is the waterfall. This waterfall is called Longtang waterfall. It is just like a white dragon jumping into the pond with vigorous posture. After millions of years of scouring by the waterfall, a unique pot hole landscape has been formed here. The water pool under the waterfall, which grows along with the pot hole, seems ordinary, but it is very popular in spring and autumn. It is said that groups of wild fish often gather here in this season, which can be easily scooped up with a ladle. The fish pool is named after this.

A hundred years of happiness

On the left and right sides of the opposite spring, there is a very long rock gap. These are two inclined faults. They meet here. The rain water is absorbed and conserved by the lush vegetation on the mountain, and then slowly penetrates through the rock strata of the mountain. When it penetrates into the rock strata here, it is blocked by these two long faults, so it joins here along the inclined section to form this clear and sweet spring. This is a slow process, which often takes decades or hundreds of years. It's just like a couple of lovers who finally meet together after a long distance.

Longmen Gorge

There are cliffs on both sides of the canyon and rapids and dangerous shoals at the bottom of the canyon. Tourists often drift here, and they can always inspire their fighting spirit. They are full of the lofty ambition of carp leaping over the dragon's gate. At the same time, Longmen gorge is also a section of gorge where all kinds of waterfalls, flowing springs, travertine landscape and moss landscape are concentrated.

Brave heart

This is not a tall tree, but people say it has a very brave heart. It roots into all the cracks that can be inserted, so that it can still stand up on such a cliff. You see, its roots extend to the whole stone wall, and even hang down to the water at the bottom of the valley.

Galactic jellyfish

The typical stalactite travertine landscape is formed by the accumulation and growth of travertine precipitated by water droplets over millions of years. The top is densely covered with all kinds of moss, bright color, unique image, like a gorgeous giant jellyfish in the Milky way. It seems that its tentacles are still swinging!

Piaoyuefeng

The spring falls down from the top of the cliff about 100 meters high. When it meets the umbrella shaped stalactite covered with moss on the top, the splashed water drops are as white as snow. It is like a mountain with snowflakes.

Shuangfei waterfall

A pair of waterfalls about 100 meters high and 40 meters wide. One is graceful, the other is vigorous and straight, the other is elegant and flying, the other is majestic. This is the beauty of experiencing the ups and downs of mountains, and the magnificence of moving forward side by side.

Angel canopy

The travertine landscape formed by stalactites is just like a beautiful canopy. It is said that it is the canopy of angels and the canopy of true love.

Camels paddle in the water

It is said that it was once the mount of the seven fairies in the desert and came to the world with their master. It is moved by the true feelings of the world, but also because of the clear water of the Milky Way River, it will stay here forever.

Ancient Grand Hall

The ancient cave forms a huge hall here. The curtain and hanging ornaments formed by stalactite are hung around the hall, which is very spectacular and beautiful. Today, the hall with its top cover opened is luxuriant in vegetation and everything grows. It has completed a long transformation and regained its new charm.

At this point, you may not quite understand, so let's look at it from another angle. There are many karst caves in China, most of which are in Southwest China. You must have seen a lot of them. But have you ever seen a cave full of moss, flowers and trees? Few people have seen it. Even if they have, they may not know what it is.

What's going on? Let me start with cave development. In the late stage of cave development, some of them dried up and stopped growing; some of them collapsed and disappeared with the erosion of water flow; some of them saw the sun again and everything grew and degenerated into a vibrant canyon.

The shuiyinhe Grand Canyon in Guizhou is probably a beautiful canyon transformed from ancient giant karst caves. At the beginning, a Tiankeng was formed by the collapse of the top of the cave. We all know about the Tiankeng, which is basically inaccessible, and the plants grow very luxuriantly. There are many rare flowers and trees in the Tiankeng. Gradually, the number of Tiankeng gradually increased, and one day the pits would be connected, and the cave would become a canyon. This long process is like a Phoenix Nirvana, from a kind of beauty to another kind of more beautiful and rare beauty.

The shuiyinhe Grand Canyon is warm and humid with luxuriant vegetation. On the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone milk, stone mantles, stone ditches, stone buds and stone forests are densely distributed, but most of them are hidden under mosses and trees, and occasionally a small piece of them is exposed. If you look at them carefully in the sun, they are still as bright in color and strange in image as they are in karst caves.

Yingyue Lake

Bright moon in the sky, green and clear pool water side, is the best place before the moon. It is said that this is the place where the seven fairies play when their sisters come to visit her.

Panlong waterfall group

A large amount of spring water from the middle of the cliff continuously precipitates travertine. After millions of years, it has accumulated into this huge stalactite tower. The whole lower part of the tower is hollow, forming water curtain holes of different sizes. It is extremely cool in summer. Waterfall from top to bottom, dragon from bottom to top, like a white dragon circling up, straight into the sky.

Galaxy ladder

After layers of falling water and atomization, the waterfall looks like a misty ladder in the distance, presenting a fairyland like reality and fantasy.

Kingdom of Bryophytes

The location of the scenic spot has not been determined yet

Shuiyinhe Grand Canyon is warm and humid, which is very suitable for the growth of bryophytes. There are dozens of species, which can be called the kingdom of bryophytes. All kinds of mosses are not only an important part of the scenic ecosystem, but also a unique landscape. Under the waterfall, on the cliff, in the crevice, in the trees They are everywhere, very popular.

Bryophytes have many functions that people like.

It can accumulate water and floating dust in the surrounding environment, purify the air and maintain humidity. At the same time, many kinds of mosses have good appearance, which are suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation like flowers
