Huping Mountain Tourist Area is one of the 200 key ecological areas in the world and a national nature reserve. It is known as the natural maze on the "strange circle of the earth" (30 degrees north latitude) and the "Noah's Ark" in the old hemisphere. The primitive eco-tourism in Huping Mountain is a key tourism project in Huping Mountain Tourist Area, and two tourist eco-lines, Shinianzigou and Xiangbizigou, have been opened.

People say that "the mountains in Zhangjiajie, the water in Jiuzhaigou and the valley in Huping Mountain are the most beautiful", and there are many and strange canyons such as Shinianzigou and Xiangbiguou, which are called the largest canyon group in the south of the Yangtze River. Eco-tourism scenic spot is located in Shenjingzhai, Jiangping Administration, Hupingshan National Nature Reserve. The scenic canyon is rich in resources and is a green natural treasure house. Because it has not been invaded by Quaternary glaciers, it has preserved a good ecological environment and a large number of precious relict plant communities. Therefore, it is called "the gene bank of precious species in Central China" by Chinese and foreign experts and scholars.

Because the air in the canyon contains a lot of plant essence "Fanduojing", each cubic meter contains 10000 negative oxygen ions, which is known as "the natural oxygen bar of nature". Several streams and rivers in the valley fall from the source, and the gap between the valley and the gully is nearly one thousand meters. The current is fast, and the dynamic water features are beautiful all the way. There are nearly a hundred waterfalls alone, which is dazzling.

Elephant trunk ditch, you may ask, why is it called elephant trunk ditch? Because in the depths of this canyon, there is a towering ridge and a cliff root that extends to the bottom of the waterfall, just like an elephant's nose, so I took this interesting name. Ada Waterfall, which is more than 300 meters long, is luxuriant and choppy in rainy days. Three layers of water, three layers of clear wave talc. Fairy Waterfall, according to legend, seven fairies descended to earth and bathed in secret here. The kettle liquid and the water in the ditch are filtered by the virgin forest, which is very pure, clear and sweet and can be directly drunk. This sweet spring is full of magical stories. It is said that thousands of years ago, a green dragon was crushed under it, and tears kept rolling all year round.

The fairy played with ink, and there was a straight white mark on the rock at the bottom of the ditch, which extended more than 700 meters. According to legend, the land gods on both sides of the canyon often fight fiercely for jurisdiction. One day, the Jade Emperor sent a fairy to draw a chalk line at the bottom of the ditch, taking this as the boundary, and the two land gods cared for each other. After this line, it is called "god plays ink". In fact, this is a geological phenomenon, that is, the timely calcite veins gradually fill and develop in the fractures formed in the two strata, accompanied by limonitization.

Another gully, the Stone Nianzigou, is 2.5 kilometers long, and the long and narrow Wuli Gallery shows us unparalleled scenery. Legend has it that the river next to Shinianzigou is the drugstore river. In ancient times, a family named Zhu opened a Chinese medicine shop here, which was famous for treating poisonous snakes, mosquito bites and falls. The area around Shinianzigou is lovely green, with streams singing in the ditch without restraint, waterfalls flying off the cliff like smoke and fog, and the spring water falling in the mountains surging out of the cracks in the stones.

There is a hillside above the half moon cliff in the ditch, which is covered with cherries. Legend has it that a green ape stole the cherry of Jade Emperor cherry orchard. The jade emperor was furious and locked the green ape there. Green apes thrive on cherry slopes. There are thousands of monkeys living now, and the locals call it Monkey Bay.
