Inside the cave is a fairy in white with a human face and a snake body. Half hidden and half exposed, the words "White Snake Cave" are engraved on the stone wall outside the cave.

(4) Silver Silk Waterfall: Not far from White Snake Cave, you can see Silver Silk Waterfall. Although the volume of water in this waterfall is not very large, it surges thousands of feet and turns into thousands of silver threads under the influence of wind, so it is called Silver Thread Waterfall. With a drop of about 120 meters, it can be said to be the highest waterfall in Nanzhao. It is also rare in our province and can be compared with the Yuntai Mountain Waterfall.

(6) Youlongbi: Keep going and you will reach Youlongbi (originally called Youshe Waterfall). This wall is about 30 meters high. The water flows down the cracks in the stone wall, looking like a swimming dragon, which is vivid.

(7) Ten thousand acres of rhododendron forest: After passing Youlongbi, you will enter ten thousand acres of alpine rhododendron forest. Rhododendron is one of the three most famous flowers in the world and a nationally protected plant. The flowers are colorful and widely distributed in scenic spots, especially Zhenwuding. When the flowers bloom, the mountains and fields are dazzling and spectacular.

(8) Crocodiles out of the sea: The rocks are shaped like carps.

(9) East and West Phoenix Terrace: Go past "Crocodile Out to the Sea" and reach the East and West Phoenix Terrace. You can see the sea of ??clouds and mountains at the mouth of the canyon between the two Phoenix Terraces.

(13) Azalea Fairy Palace: After passing Jingxiu Peak, it is built in the azalea forest in the northeast of Guanshi Nao.

The cuckoo fairy statue is sculpted in the palace to create a wonderful mythical atmosphere, especially when the clouds and mist are lingering, like a fairyland.

(14) Guan Shi Nao: commonly known as Guang Shi Nao. Go up from Jingxiu Peak and walk through the cliffs under Guan Shi Nao, fighting and snaking until you reach the foot of Guan Shi Nao. But seeing that the mountain is tall and majestic, there is a smooth round stone on the solitary peak, also known as the wind stone. This stone seems to be flying across the sky, sitting firmly on the top of a mountain, and can be pushed by people or moved by the wind. Legend has it that this peak is the place where Zhenwu Patriarch cultivated his body and practiced martial arts.

(15) Black pine forest: Continue to the black pine forest. The forest scenery here is unique and the ancient trees are towering, adding a bit of mystery to the tourist area.

(16) Wanzhang Stone Waterfall: Pass through the black pine forest to reach Wanzhang Stone Waterfall. The stone waterfall is located under Zhenwu Summit. Because the surface shape of the stone wall resembles water flow, it flows and pours like water falling from the sky. It is a unique place in China.

(17) Wind Tunnel: Located on the top of the stone waterfall, it is also known as "One Line of Sky". This is a natural cave passage, 15 meters long, 6 meters high, and only 50 centimeters wide at its narrowest point. Only one person is allowed to pass by with his belly drawn in and rubbing against the rocks. This "cave" is very windy, and visitors can say that they have a "special cave" when they come here.

(18) Nine-layer Rock: On the west side of the sky, there is an isolated peak. The entire mountain is multi-layered due to the development of nearly horizontal joints, and the landscape is very unique.

(19) Zhenwu Vegetable Field: Looking north at the top of the Wanzhang Stone Waterfall on the nine-story rock, you can see a slanted stone slab with many stone cracks arranged on it. The cracks are covered with grass, which resembles a vegetable patch. Legend has it that this is "Zhenwu Vegetable Field".

The predecessors did not know the truth and mistakenly thought it was the singing of ghosts.
