There are three more branches on top. It represents a family of three for several generations. It can It has long been a role model for a family of three with only one child!

It is a national second-level protected tree species. It was originally called "Cantonese pine" because it is very rare in Guangdong, where it was originally discovered, but it has grown vigorously in large areas in Mangshan. Experts They named it "Mangshan Pine".

It mostly grows in high mountain areas above 1,000 meters. We will enjoy the stunning beauty of the mountain pine in the canyon cliffs along the way.

Please take a look at these precious tree species: "Bole tree", "South China birch"... These rare and ancient trees have identity plaques that record their noble origins and long history.

Don’t underestimate these inconspicuous little vine branches stretching out on the roadside. They are already more than 200 years old! We still focus on protecting tree species. Look at the vines wrapped around the trees, fighting for wits and courage. No one is impressed by the charm!

The faintly discernible small ponds on the right are the papermaking lakes used by Li Zicheng's remnants, which have been hidden by dense yellow bamboos. The flat land in front was originally the training ground for Li Zicheng's remaining troops. Through the ruins under this ancient tree, it reminds people of the mysterious historical drama in the ancient forest. The crevice under this boulder by the river is the snake's home.

Look over there, "Hemlock Rising to the Sky". After an ancient hemlock was uprooted by a thunderstorm, it was placed on two big trees at high altitude, forming a spectacular sky bridge that soared into the blue sky.

The stream accompanying us is called Qinglong River. Look at how green and clear this stream is, and how beautiful the scenery on both sides is! There are many strange peaks, shaded by ancient trees, beautiful sunshine in the forest, clear springs flowing up the rocks, stone beaches with waterfalls, and fish swimming freely. Lin Mang and streams and springs form a natural landscape gallery. This kind of native natural fish in the river tastes very delicious, but unfortunately, you can only watch it and not catch it!

What do you see on the huge rock in the middle of the stream above? It looks like a monk chanting and tapping. Muyu?! Please look up and see what this is?

The quiet cliff valley in front is called Lover's Valley. The stream has flowed through hundreds of millions of years of magic, and this 30-meter-long and 6-meter-deep stone pit has been carved out of the solid rock. Ancient trees are hugging each other on the cliff, and there are "red apricots coming out of the wall". The stream at the bottom of the valley is clear, and there are Arhat stone. This is the source of Guizizhai Waterfall. Some people say that it is this affectionate Lover's Valley that breeds the spectacular waterfall at the bottom of the valley that swallows the sky with heroic desperation. For those of you who are brave enough to pursue pure love, please boldly enter the Valley of Lovers for a tryst, but be sure to pay attention to your safety!

We have arrived at the Guizizhai Observation Deck. Let's first take a look at the majestic General Stone opposite. It looks like a vivid ancient warrior. The stone seams on its body are criss-crossed, and it also looks like the armor the general wears. To the left of the general stands a huge square stone, like a shield, and to the right is a thousand-year-old pine, just like the general holding a square halberd in his arm, or a golden whip to spur his horse. The General's Stone is about 180 meters high and looks majestic. Please look carefully. The general seems to be looking up at something in front of him thoughtfully. Oh, it turns out he is staring at Wangfu Rock on the top of the cliff over there. It is said that in ancient times, there was a general in Mangshan who went on an expedition, and his wife climbed to the top of the mountain every day to look forward to her husband's return.

Unfortunately, the general died in battle, and his soul flew back from afar because of his emotions. Just when the couple was about to meet, he lost his strength and fell to the bottom of the valley and became a general's stone. His wife was so distraught that she turned into Wangfu Rock standing tall in the sky. The two boulders are lifelike in shape and look at each other month after year in the mountains, telling a tragic and unforgettable story that moves the heavens and the earth. The vertical stone peak standing side by side with the General's Stone is the sacred needle of the mountain. There is a lifelike stone Guanyin Buddha on the top, which seems to be concentrating on watching the strange world in the canyon.

Let’s take a stroll to the bottom of the valley for sightseeing. Everyone, please note that the ancient trees on the roadside are mostly rare ancient trees that are under special protection, including Bole trees, fragrant fruit trees, and thousand-year-old yew trees... Look, is that a strange stone? Look further, oh, it turns out it is also a yew tree. . Wang Wei has a poem to prove it: "Red beans grow in the south. When spring comes, a few branches will appear. I advise you to pick more. This thing is the most acacia." However, for the sake of the health of this national treasure tree, we have to change it to "I advise you to take good care of it and keep it in your heart."

Okay, what we are facing is Guizizhai Waterfall, how majestic it is! How cool! The height of the waterfall we see now is 80 meters, and there is a stack of 20 meters above it. We have to go to the opposite mountainside to get there. Looking at the whole thing, it is actually a 100-meter waterfall. During the flood season, the waterfall surges out from the sky and has the potential to swallow up the universe. Half of the waterfall is cut off by several cliffs, and there are several large pools in the middle. There is a waterfall in the pool. Looking from below, there is no pool in the waterfall. I just feel that the clouds and mist are flying from the waterfall. It can be said that "the water from Mangshan comes from the sky..."

Tourists have long been wondering: here Why was the name "Guizizhai" named "Guizizhai"? It sounds so unpleasant! As the saying goes: There is no need to worry about the name being ugly, as long as it is known for a long time. Now I can answer your questions. This is a true historical story. At that time, the Qing army sought the stream and went up to clear out the remaining troops of Li Zicheng, but the rebel army blocked the source of the waterfall. When the Qing army climbed to this village valley, they were exhausted and collapsed to rest. However, the rebels suddenly released the waterfall and pretended to be ghosts and gods, sticking their heads out and making strange sounds in the gaps in the cliffs. Most of the horrified Qing troops were swept away by the violent currents. The lucky survivors were horrified and said that there were "ghosts" messing with the water here. So, "Guizizhai" was called "Guizizhai" all the time.

Strange peaks, rocks, and water are as poetic as picturesque and intoxicating. Tour guide of Chenzhou Mangshan National Forest Park. In 1957, Guizizhai Scenic Area was listed as one of the 14 natural landscape areas in the country, and it was also the first natural landscape area in Hunan Province at that time.

Downstream from this grand canyon is the core protected area of ??the primeval forest. There are many unknown and mysterious landscapes that are currently not accessible for swimming. Now we explore new scenery from this plank road. Who says there are no stairs to the sky? This can be called the Stairway to Heaven. Looking from the mountainside, you can see a group of strange-shaped stone towers and stone figures on the opposite side. One side looks like a literary figure, and later a military general. Facing the waterfall General Shi bowed his hands in salute. Climbing up again, you will see a walkway composed of strange stones, with a stone gate at the end, which is called the Immortal Path. On the stone tops on both sides, there are a group of thousand-year-old trees with strange shapes. After a giant pine in the north was knocked down by lightning, it was placed on another ancient tree. The heart of the tree was empty and covered with dead wood and soil. It looked like a small boat or a skateboard. The branches and leaves of the tree were lush, like a big flower. Lotus, full of fun. Going up the mountain ridge, you can see the hundred-foot cliff on the right, the waterfall at the bottom of the valley, the General's Rock, and the large forest in the distance. The branches and leaves are like rigid branches and iron branches that cannot be blown by the wind. They stretch high in the sky and are magnificent. A reporter said: These pines are the strongest and most wonderful fairy pines in the world. The landscape in front of us is called "Wonderland on Earth". Viewing mountains, pine trees and scenery from here is breathtaking. It is so wonderful that it is really "infinite scenery on dangerous peaks"!

We have reached the top of the mountain, here It is both Wangfu Rock and Dianjiang Platform. Standing here, the general stones at the bottom of the valley echo each other, and the green mountains in the distance are undulating, which makes people feel proud and proud, and they suddenly feel that "there are millions of troops in their chests." The dominating Mangshan pine is the prince of the Mangshan forest kingdom, and the "Beauty Pine" embodies the inherent majesty, beauty of strength, and tenacity of life of the Mangshan pine. Dear friends, we experienced the beauty of the fairyland on earth in Guizizhai Landscape. Now, we return to the mysterious forest and enjoy this green world of ancient trees.
