Core landscape :

Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge: The scenic area's landmark and starting point, a seven-arched bridge made of bluestone, entwined with vines, exuding an ancient charm. Beneath the bridge, the waters of Hanbi Pool are a deep blue, creating a tranquil landscape painting with the reflection of the distant mountains and forests.

The 68-tiered waterfall: Along the Xiangshui River, in a valley with a drop of about 1.6 kilometers, 68 tiers of waterfalls and cascades are naturally formed. The water flows swiftly and the sound is continuous. It is a rare waterfall group landscape in China.

Laya Waterfall: Located beside the trail, the waterfall is about 10 meters wide and has a drop of 30 meters. Visitors can almost walk right up to it, feeling the spray and the roar of the water, making it both approachable and visually stunning.

Wolongtan: A karst underground river outlet pool shaped like a crescent moon. The pool water has a deep blue-green hue due to mineral deposits, and is as calm as a mirror. An arc-shaped waterfall forms at the dam, with water curtains as fine as silk and mist rising from the water, making it a photographer's paradise.

Yuanyang Lake: It is formed by the connection of two natural lakes of different sizes, and is named after the mandarin ducks that often inhabit it. The lake water is emerald green, and ancient trees tower around it.
