Nine Scenic Areas Of Yellow
Mountain
White Cloud Scenic Area (Baiyun Scenic Area)
The
West Sea, long known as the Mystery Valley for the many clusters
of peaks and the fathomless depth of the valley has been opened
up as the White Cloud Stream Scenic Area. The seven-kilometer
long newly paved staircase extends from the Hook Bridge Nunnery
inside the West Gate of the Yellow Mountains, across the bottom
of the valley, and reaches the newly built Central Sea Pavilion
at the Heavenly Sea. Tourists may go to Qianxun Falls via the
Hook Bridge Nunnery and the Shy Spring. The highest falls in the
Yellow Mountains, Qianxun Falls has a drop of 140 meters, and
is ice-free all the year round. The falls thunder can be heard
at Swan Rock near the brook and one can also have a near look
on the Immortal Walking on Stilts. Passing the Dropping Spring
and the Lucky Cloud Bridge, one comes to the Cloud-dispelling
Pavilion. Then, a twisting path leads one through Walking Fairy
Bridge and to the Goddess Flower Bed and finally to the Central
Sea Pavilion at the Heavenly Sea. On the way, one can watch pines
in all kinds of odd shapes.
