Geographical environment of Jinsixia scenic spot in Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province
Bailong Gorge, commonly known as Qili Gorge and Beixia Gorge, is 2.5 kilometers long. The scenic spot starts from the entrance of the existing park in the north and ends at Lingguan Hall in the south. The canyon is a hard S-shaped extension, high in the south and low in the north. There are many types of landforms in the canyon, and most of them are plant communities in this life due to human activities.
The main natural landscape is the river geological landform relics such as gully landform, lateral erosion cave and steep wall falling into the water formed by geological processes such as river scouring and erosion. The peak on the left side of the canyon is called Fengshan, just like a phoenix spreading its wings; The peak on the right is called Monkey Mountain, and there is a stone monkey on the top, which is said to be a fairy monkey playing with a phoenix. On the hillside on the left, there is also a strange stone called Ren Xianshi, also known as Ren Xianfeng. On the slope, there are grotesque rocks, green vines hanging upside down, and the natural landscape is full of fun. The river in the canyon winds from north to south like a white dragon, and the steep peaks on both sides of the canyon fluctuate continuously.
Mapaoquan
Mapiao Spring is one of the famous scenic spots in Bailongxia, also known as Baixue Spring. This spring water flowed from the Cambrian dolomite strata more than 600 million years ago, and it is a dripping spring. Baixuequan is a kind of natural mineral water, which is rich in more than ten kinds of trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and selenium, and is called "Shenquan" by local people.
The formation of Mapaoquan is due to the fault in the north of the spring eye, which blocked the normal flow of underground karst spring water and flowed to the surface along a rock crack here, forming Baixue Spring. This spring, the heavy rain is not cloudy, the drought is not dry, and it is continuous all year round. The average daily flow is about 0.39 cubic meters per second, and the flow in flood season can reach 1 cubic meter per second. Spring eyes are as big as fists, and there are countless Koizumi eyes around Da Chun's eyes. The spring water rushed up vertically, and bubbles, big and small, came one after another. Every summer, there is plenty of rainfall and springs gush out. The water column is as high as 1 m, which is very spectacular.
Shishengshu
Three kilometers away from the canyon, there are two trees growing on two five-ton boulders, of which the thicker one is the national key protected tree species-the precious plant Acer ginnala; The thinner one is called Mao. Two trees are rooted in hard rocks and stand proudly.
Bailonghu
Bailong Lake, located on the right side of Daoyuan Fairy Mountain, is a high gorge Pinghu heightened by the Temple of Heaven formed by the original natural stone buildings. Bailong Lake is 600 meters long and 20 meters deep, with a water area of over 600 square meters and a storage capacity of 4 million cubic meters. The whole Bailong Lake is like a mirror embedded in the green hills, which is an ideal place for water entertainment, fishing and tea tasting.
The maid offered melons.
In the middle of the rock wall on the other side of Bailong Lake, there is a stubborn stone shaped like "golden melon", and the yellow and green melon lines are faintly visible on the stone. There are all kinds of graceful strange stones around, such as a group of girls standing or lying down, singing and dancing, so they are called "Miss Gua Xian". There is a pig-headed boulder hidden in the gap about 5 meters from the water surface at the lower right. It is named "Bajie Peeping Bath" because it is shaped like Bajie, surrounded by many strange stones like ladies, and because it is close to Bailong Lake. In fact, these lifelike stone statues are a geological phenomenon. The geology here is mainly limestone. After the formation of the Qinling Mountains, the peaks here have been gradually eroded and weathered by rivers for many years, eventually forming various wonders.

This canyon is 10 km long. In the scenic area, the canyon is highly closed and the microclimate is obvious, which forms a well-defined ecosystem with rich plants in the forest.
Qinglong Gorge is the narrowest of the four canyons, which is steep and abnormal, showing a closed V-shaped or H-shaped valley landform. On both sides of the canyon, cliffs are steep and vines are swaying. What is even more peculiar is that on the cliffs on both sides, precious evergreen trees such as Pittosporum, Cinnamomum camphora and Hemlock grow thickly, covered with green crowns, while Linxia is densely covered with moss and ferns, creating a good environment for tourists to relax and escape from the summer.
Shoufengge
Back to the east of Qinglong Gorge, the top of a mountain stands upright, smooth and bright, overlooking the whole canyon, named "Shoufeng". This pavilion is named because it is located at the first peak.
Husband and wife tree
Named after the shape of a couple hugging. Stout like a pillar of the family, next to him like a little wife pestering him. In fact, this lover tree, whose real name is Pterocarya stenoptera, is a deciduous tree, with a height of more than 20 meters. Often born in the wet land by the stream, a string of samara hangs and shakes. The bark and branches of Pterocarya stenoptera contain a lot of fiber, which is a good raw material for paper making and artificial cotton. Bark and root bark can be used as medicine; Leaves are poisonous and can be used to extract pesticides.
