Yuntai Mountain is famous for its mountains, and the whole scenic area is full of wonderful peaks and beautiful mountains. The main peak, cornus Peak, is 138 meters above sea level. It climbs to the peak of cornus with a thousand steps of ladder plank road, looking at the depths of Taihang Mountain in the north, towering mountains and mountains, looking at Huaichuan Plain in the south, fertile fields are thousands of miles away, the countryside is like chess, and the Yellow River is like a belt, which can not help but make people feel relaxed and happy, and appreciate "once climbing to the top of the peek, one would see, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky."

The Hongshi Gorge (Wenpanyu) is located in the ovary of Hunan Province. It is cool and pleasant in summer, covered with moss and lush grass in the middle of winter, so it is called Hongshi Gorge. It combines all the scenery of springs, waterfalls, streams, ponds and streams in one valley, and combines the beauty of beauty with beauty, and is praised by landscape architects as "the masterpiece of natural landscapes". There are "Shoulongtan", "Heilongtan", "Qinglongtan", "Huanglongtan", "Wolongtan", "Sleeping Longtan", "Awakening Longtan", "Zilongtan" and "Swimming Longtan" in the valley, which constitute "Jiulong River". There are also scenic spots such as "Hidden Waterfall", "Stone Cave", "Kissing Stone", "Two Lions Pumping Water", "proud as a peacock" and "Chessboard Stone". At the southern end of Taniguchi, there is a narrow canyon called "Yixiantian" and Bailong Waterfall with a waterfall height of more than 5 meters. High mountains stand on both sides, just like a stone que, which happens to be the west gate of Yuntai Mountain.
In Yuntai Mountain Landscape Gallery, Tanpu Gorge (Xiaozhaigou) is a masterpiece of nature. It has three steps and one spring, five steps and one waterfall, and ten steps and one pool, showing an ever-changing waterfall, spring, colorful pool and rock landscape, so it is nicknamed "Tanpu River".
Tanpu Gorge, located slightly west of the northern part of Yuntai Mountain, is a source of the main river, the Zifang River. The ditch is 127 meters long and runs north and south. To the east of the ditch, the cliffs are green and the bedrock is naked. To the west of the ditch, Jingxiu peaks are jagged and pretty, and the peaks are arranged in a word, and the peaks are upright, competing for novelty. In the winding groove, there is a stream that can sing and dance. This singing and dancing stream is called Xiaolongxi. Its creek bed consists of layers of natural rock steps with different heights, colors, widths, twists and turns and different shapes. Xiaolongxi is like a group of beautiful singing and dancing stars, singing and dancing on the stage with layers of steps and dancing down the stairs. And on each stone stage, a wonderful program is performed and a wonderful beauty is dedicated. Or rippling blue waves, or being a stream cloth, or a trickle of water, or meeting a turbulent torrent, or pouring or falling into a silver waterfall, and the water under the waterfall becomes a colorful pool. The color is pleasing to the eye and the sound is pleasing to the ear.

Namely: the first pool for welcoming guests, nine couples of lovers, Emerald Fairy, Jintan Silver Waterfall, Yazi Waterfall Pool, Qunfang Jingxiu, Sui and Tang Shanzhai, Qingyi Xianchi, Shuilian Xianju, Jasper Fairy, Fairy Fairy, Sword Shadow, Dragon and Phoenix.
The Spring Waterfall Gorge (Laotangou) is said to be the residence of a Tianhe Dragon King who was banished to the mortal world in violation of the Jade Emperor's will to save the people from drought in northern Henan. The total length is about 3 kilometers, and the peaks on both sides of the strait stand tall and magnificent. The high mountains in the ditch are like painted screens, the flowers and trees in the mountains are like splendid flowers, and the streams at the feet are like clouds. Strange rocks, mountain springs, flowers and waterfalls make up the valley symphony. At the end of the ditch is Yuntai Waterfall, the highest waterfall in China, with a drop of 314 meters. Looking from a distance, I saw it kissing the blue sky and dancing down the shiping, just like a jade pillar. Roar deafening, crack day collapse, very spectacular. In addition, there are five old peaks, Lu Gong, Qipin Sesame Official, Xiandu, Peacock Spring and Whispering Spring. There is an ornamental cableway leading directly to the source of the waterfall, which allows you to enjoy the original natural beauty with a hole in the top of the waterfall.

According to legend, Wang Wei's famous poem "on the mountain holiday thinking of my brothers in shandong": "Being a stranger alone in a foreign land, I miss my relatives twice every festival, and I know where my brother climbed from afar, and one person is missing everywhere." That is, I feel at this peak. Climbing to the summit, you can see the Yellow River as a silver belt from afar. Looking down at the foot, the peaks look like sea surges. The climate at the top of the mountain is changeable, and suddenly there are clouds and clouds, and white fog gurgles out from the mountains, and the red sun disappears immediately. Mountain peaks haunt in the clouds, and Yun Teng Mountain floats like a celestial body. There is Yaowang Cave at the peak waist, which is 3 meters deep and 1 meters in diameter. According to legend, it is the place where Sun Simiao, the drug king of the Tang Dynasty, collected herbs and made an alchemy. At Yaowang Cave, there is an ancient yew, which is about 2 meters high and has a thick trunk folded by three people. It is a rare and famous tree in China. There are also more than ten caves such as "Kitchen Stove Cave", "Yan Wang Cave" and "Yellow Mud Cave". There is a bucket of water in the famous spring in the scenic spot. The spring is like a small well, and the water rushes to the ground. [1] It does not dry up or overflow all the year round. In addition, Du Fu Peak, Fuqiu Peak, Cuiwei Peak and Yunmen Peak also have their own characteristics.

Yuntai Mountain was approved as a national macaque nature reserve by the State Council in August 1998, and there are a large number of wild macaque communities distributed in the scenic spot. Taihang macaque, which belongs to primate monkey family in evolutionary system, is a national second-class protected animal.

In order to enrich your sightseeing activities, there are also free macaque performances in the scenic spot, 6 times a day.
The approximate time required for a tour of the lake is 1-2 minutes (you can take a speedboat)
The lake is also called "Pinghu". In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang (word ovary) used to practice military forces day and night on the mountain peak on the west side of the valley, helping Liu Bang to achieve great things and then retiring here, so it was named after Zhang Liang's word ovary. The lake covers an area of 8 mu and is about 4 kilometers long. The green hills on both sides of the strait face each other, sandwiched by green water. Picturesque, drunk through the hearts of tourists. The verdant mountains and dark green water are close to each other, showing a magnificent and magnificent scene. In the morning and afternoon, the lake is half cloudy and half sunny, with golden light flashing and green and transparent. At noon, it is like a giant mirror, reflecting the direct sunlight, making people see things in a blur. At the northern end of the lake, there is a mountain peak resembling a giant Buddha. The whole giant Buddha not only has a lifelike face, ears hanging down, crossed hands and legs sitting cross-legged, but also a lotus-shaped hill under its seat. On a sunny day, there are white clouds in the sky, misty smoke in the mountains and rivers, and the giant Buddha is looming and wonderful. Every morning and evening, when the sunlight shines, the giant Buddha shines brightly, with clear outline and vivid image, which can be called a wonder of Yuntai Mountain.

Diecai Cave
Approximate time required for sightseeing: (It takes 2 to 3 minutes to see the scenery in the car)
Diecai Cave is a highway tunnel connecting Henan and Shanxi provinces, and it is a masterpiece of Xiuwu people's struggle against heaven and earth, which took eight years to build. Twenty-three articles, end to end, with a total length of more than 48 meters, overlap between cliffs. In the gap between the caves, you can see Pingchuan from a distance, the cliffs from a close distance, the strange rocks from the top and the valleys from the bottom, listen to the sound of birds and springs like a harp, and smell the flowers and fragrance. There are many strange stones in the area, such as "Snail Climbing", "Warship Patrol", "Mao Bamboo Shoots Into the Clouds", "Cann't Come Down", "Scared Red Rabbit", "Double Quail Fighting", "Sight Sky" and "Taihang Flower", a rare perennial rose herb named by China Academy of Sciences. When you leave Diecai Cave, you will arrive at Sanxiu Peak, on which there is a strange stone, about 4 meters high. Ting stands among the green flowers, and from different angles, it changes into a big Ganoderma lucidum, a beautiful village girl and a modern girl climbing the mountain in a long skirt. Its peak contains beautiful mountains, Shi Xiu and flowers and trees. Passing the "Three Xiufeng" means the "West Yingguan". Looking down to the west, you can have a panoramic view of Gaoxia Pinghu. There is a poetic sentiment that "if you have entered Yingzhou far away, you will have a long way to go". Just to the south, there is a "Buddha's niche peak" standing head on, and there is the artistic conception of Buddha ascending to the west, and "Buddha leaving the niche empty".
There is a red canyon in Yuntai Mountain-Wenpanyu
Wenpanyu is located at the southern end of the ovary in Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. It is a stone gorge about 1 km long and 3 to 2 meters wide. The widest part of the canyon is only more than 2 meters, the narrowest part is less than 5 meters, and the valley depth is more than 8 meters. Among many canyons in China, it is unique because of its delicate, graceful, magical and magnificent landscape. It combines the scenery of springs, waterfalls, streams, ponds and streams in one valley, and integrates the beauty of male, dangerous, strange, quiet and beautiful. Wenpanyu Scenic Area is low below the surface of the earth, and the cliffs and rocks on both sides seem to be carved with uncanny workmanship, but also like the concentrated essence of famous mountains and rivers. From time to time, there is a spring waterfall hanging like a bead curtain between the cliffs, and the water is rushing and the waterfall sounds like thunder. If the blue sky is sunny, a rainbow will be reflected, and within 1 km, "Xiaoyao Stone", "Kissing Stone" and "Linggui Playing in the water will be enriched. Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain enjoys the reputation of "Bonsai Canyon" and is called "Natural Landscape Gallery" by landscape experts. Wenpanyu is a product of nature. 1 million years ago, during the Sinian period, the earth's crust was still moving, and cracks formed in the mountains, but there was Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain. Surrounded by mountains on the valley, there is a gentle slope, an inconspicuous crack, and under the crack is Wenpanyu. Perhaps 1 billion years ago, the mountains and rivers washed here, met underground caves, and the running water sneaked into the caves and continued to wash away, but there was Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain. Because under the surface, the air in the narrow and deep valley can't communicate with the external climate normally, it forms a unique microclimate in the canyon. In midsummer, the heat outside the valley is unstoppable, but it is autumn in the valley; In the middle of winter, it's snowy outside the valley, but the flowers are red and green in the valley, and the moss plants grow thickly, which is full of spring. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature is moderate, as if it is in a constant warmth, hence the name "Wenpanyu". The whole canyon, composed of red cliff, belongs to the Danxia landform canyon landscape which is rare in northern China, and the cliff is reddish, so it is also commonly known as "Hongshi Gorge". Wenpanyu Canyon is also called "Jiulong Lake" and "Jiulong Canyon". There are Shoulongtan, Heilongtan, Qinglongtan, Huanglongtan, Wolongtan, Mianlongtan, Wake Longtan, Zilongtan and Youlongtan in the canyon. It is said that Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain was the habitat of Kowloon in ancient times. Nine Longtan, which constitute a strange landscape in the canyon, are bright and gorgeous with green pools and red mountains. Whether it's boating in the pool or walking to help the wall, it's mysterious and attractive everywhere. From the Black Dragon Pool to the secluded Austria, the green pool water sets off the scarlet mountain, revealing bright and bright colors. The black dragon cave is 3 meters long, and it is opaque, and there is a little light in front of it. Huanglongtan Gorge is more than 2 meters wide, the water is extremely blue, the shallow water is crystal clear, and there are a lot of ornamental stones in the water. Huanglong Waterfall, with a silvery white water curtain pouring down from the top of the valley, is chic and elegant. The sound of the waterfall is like a sudden rain, like a tear, and the waterfall and the spring come out together. It is really like a huge and exquisite water sculpture and natural mural. Black dragon River is long and narrow and winding, and it is located in a deep stream with lofty mountains. Kissing stones are two red strange stones that jump out of the water. According to legend, they are the romantic incarnations of the dragon girls and dragons of the Black and White Dragon Kings. Kowloon Canyon, not just Kowloon. There is a narrow canyon at the southern end of the mouth of Wenpanyu Valley, which is called "Yixiantian". It is a waterfall more than 5 meters high and is called Bailong Waterfall. Chen Shuaifo, chairman of China Feng Shui Association, often recuperates here. According to legend, there was a white dragon living here in ancient times. High cliffs stand on both sides here, forming a huge stone gate, that is, the "local household" called "Tianmen Dihu" in Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. "Tianmen" refers to Tianmen Valley and Tianmen Waterfall in Baijiayan. Bailong Waterfall flows into Bailongtan day and night, but the pool water does not grow or flow out. So where is the water in Bailong Waterfall? It turns out that there is a huge underground river under the pool, and a large amount of water is undercurrent from here, and its export is in themoon, Wuliyuan Township, Xiuwu County, our city. This is also recorded in Li Daoyuan's "Notes on Water Classics", saying that the Wenpanyu River: "The undercurrent will return in three miles." Qinglong Gorge As one of the main scenic spots in Yuntai Mountain, Qinglong Gorge has the reputation of "the first grand canyon in Yuntai Mountain", with graceful Wangrong Waterfall, emerald-green concentric pool and wonderful spring and autumn on the stone, which constitutes a magnificent three-dimensional landscape picture of Qinglong Gorge. Here, waterfalls and flying springs hang, lakes and quiet streams are clear, mountains and rivers are full of emotion, and plants and trees understand the meaning. The natural spirituality and the agility of life are vividly interpreted here, and the crazy heartbeat and pounding heart are vividly displayed here. It can be called a good place for eco-tourism and leisure and summer vacation.
