Recommended tour items

(1) Mohai

Mohai is the most peculiar sea. The color of the water is as deep as blue ink, so it is called Mohai. The Mohai is formed due to the collapse of the rock wall and the collapse of the mountain blocking the water flow. It covers an area of ??28 acres. The water settles on the dark blue rocks and is bottomless. It is surrounded by peaks, leafy trees, green pines and The miscellaneous flowers and plants are reflected in it, and the water inside and outside interacts with each other, turning the water into a dark blue like ink, like a pool of poured ink.

(2) Pearl Beach Waterfall

Pearl Waterfall is a drop of water flowing on the stone slab. During the Diexi earthquake, the originally gentle slope slid down, and the rocks were exposed like a body that had taken off its clothes. Water flowed over it, and flying beads splashed like shining pearls. Pearl Waterfall is small and exquisite. Different from the majestic momentum of other waterfalls, it gives people a sense of exquisiteness. The mountains are high and the water is long. The snow-white water drops are pure. If you sit on the stone and listen to the music, you will feel relaxed and happy.

(3) Wucai Pond

Wucai Pond is a piece of colorful water, also called the Sea of ??Love, which always gives people the mood of five colors. The pond is located in the center of Shuimogou, like a woman hiding in a boudoir, giving people the feeling of "still holding a pipa half-hiding her face". The sound of water on the rocks is like Bai Juyi's poem "big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate". The grass growing by the pond is dependent on each other. It is said that the grass comes in pairs. If one of them is hurt, the other will slowly wither. It is a symbol of steadfast love.
