Introduction of scenic spots

Gypsum Mountain, located in the northern section of Taiyue Mountain, is one of the main peaks of Taiyue Mountain, with an altitude of 2532 meters, 35 kilometers southeast of Lingshi County. The total area of gypsum mountain scenic spot is about 60 square kilometers, and the developed sightseeing area is about 6 square kilometers. At the altitude of the main peak 1.500 to 1.800 meters, Tiangong cut a steep cliff with a broken ridge about 300 to 400 meters high and 200 to 300 meters wide. The cliff faces south, and the east and west wings extend backward. Its situation is like a huge gold ingot lying in disorder. In the abdomen of the ingot, that is, between the cliffs, there are three layers of limestone caves from bottom to top, especially the lower and middle rocks, all of which are between tens of meters in length, width and height. The temples in Gypsum Mountain are all built in these natural caves. Therefore, there is a poem praising the cloud: the thousand-year-old temple is hidden in the cave, and the pine and cypress are planted in the middle of the cliff.

Gypsum Mountain has a beautiful natural environment and rich forest and water resources, with a forest coverage rate of 76% and a vegetation coverage rate of 89%. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, you can see a variety of plant zones with very clear distribution levels: shrub zone, broad-leaved forest zone, mixed forest zone, coniferous forest zone, meadow, moss and liana. Although gypsum mountain is not as famous as three mountains and five mountains, it has fascinating natural scenery. Here, nature will clean up all your troubles. The beauty of gypsum mountain is a kind of natural, rough and mutual beauty, and there are almost no traces of artificial carving. Even the temples on the mountain are built in natural caves on the top of the mountain, which will never destroy the natural scenery and harmony. The mountains of nature and art have been ingeniously integrated here. What is particularly amazing is that the surrounding mountains are bare, but they are green. When you come to the mountains, people are like in a painting. Seen from the bottom of the valley, the peaks and peaks rise straight to the ground, like knives and axes, but they are connected, shaded by thick shadows, which set each other off. In the convergence and divergence of sunlight, clouds and fog, the depth of color is constantly changing. Under the erosion of millions of years of wind and rain, the stone walls on both sides of the valley have formed various shapes, and caves that stand or lie, lean or lean, jump or listen look extremely vivid. It can be said that the rocks are strange and beautiful. The whole mountain presents a magnificent momentum.

Best of all, the vegetation here is not only rich and diverse, but also well-defined and evenly distributed. Fiona Fang covers an area of 60 square kilometers and has 100 kinds of trees. At the foot of the mountain is a lush shrub belt, one after another, dense. The mountainside is a broad-leaved forest belt with different tree species such as poplar, oak, birch, maple, maple and linden. Many nameless vines are entangled in the Woods, trying their best to climb the branches and leaves to the top of the tree to win that little sunshine. If people are in it, it's like entering a tropical rainforest. Further up is a mixed forest of conifers and broad-leaved trees. Vines seem to feel too cold at high places and are indifferent at once. However, those tenacious grasses still spit green among the trees. And those pines and cypresses that grow in various ways on the steep cliffs with broken ridges are particularly amazing. I really don't know how they take root and absorb water in the gap where there is hardly a pinch of soil. Climb the cross-Tianyun Road, climb the rock to the top of Luohan and reach Beiling, which is a tall and straight coniferous forest belt. Larix principis-rupprechtii is everywhere, as well as precious evergreen trees such as juniper and Pinus bungeana.
