Among the colorful and ever-changing strange peaks and rocks, four carved columns reach the sky, and the height of each column is more than 20 meters.

Silver pendant pool waterfall

Silver Pendant Pool Waterfall and Xia Xing Waterfall are also located on the left and right sides of Water Stone Forest. In Huangguoshu Waterfall, it is neither high nor wide, but I think the Silver Falling Pool is the most touching. The Baishui River, which jumped out of the ground from Maoshui Beach, rolled like a dragon and bravely moved forward, but suddenly it met a huge scattered water hole. Huge water rushed into the pool and disappeared into the ground forever. The top of the waterfall is funnel-shaped and the bottom is a trough-shaped solution pool. The raised stone bags on the pool surface are covered and staggered like lotus leaves, and the river spreads evenly on each leaf, like thousands of large and small silver chains flowing, contracting towards the center, sometimes sinking into the ground, and sometimes rushing to the mountains. At the end of the water is a place called Pearl Spring, from which Baishui River dives underground. Smooth water waves slide across the whole stone and roll into sparkling pearls on the surface of the rock.

Huangguoshu Scenic Area takes Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area as the core, and consists of Shitouzhai Scenic Area, Tianxingqiao Scenic Area, Dishuitan Waterfall Scenic Area, Baling River Canyon Ancient Post Road Scenic Area, Steep Slope Pond Scenic Area and Langgong Scenic Area. It is the first batch of national key scenic spots and the first batch of AAAA-level tourist areas assessed by the state. The scenic spot has been successively rated as the national popular science education base, the "national civilized scenic spot" demonstration site and the "most attractive tourist scenic spot in the west". In 2005, it was named "the most beautiful place in China" by chinese national geography magazine, "the top ten scenic spots brands in China" and "the top ten scenic spots in China that European tourists like best" by People's Daily.

Huangguoshu Scenic Area has beautiful scenery, beautiful environment, fresh air (more than 28,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter measured by the Provincial Environmental Protection Department) and pleasant climate (the annual average temperature is about 65,438 06 degrees Celsius). With a long history and culture and complete facilities, it is an ideal resort for leisure, vacation, sightseeing, recuperation, oxygen inhalation "lung washing" and the pursuit of tranquility.

In the scenic area, there are waterfalls in groups, karst caves in strings, green peaks, strange vegetation and surging undercurrents, and karst caves, stone forests, stone walls and canyons abound, showing a rich karst landscape. Huangguoshu Waterfall has a drop of 74m and a width of 8 1 m.. The river flows down from the top of the cliff. On the waterfall pavilion on the high cliff on the other side of the waterfall, there is a couplet that reads: "White water is like cotton, flowers are scattered without bows, so there is no need to weave the sky." This is a true portrayal of Huangguoshu Waterfall. However, the shape of Huangguoshu Waterfall changes with the seasons. When the water is small in winter, it is charming and beautiful, falling gently. The amount of water in summer and autumn has increased greatly, and the majestic momentum that shocked the earth is simply thrilling. Sometimes the snow foam smoke aroused by the waterfall is hundreds of meters high and floats all over the sky, so that it is often in the surrounding drizzle. Water curtain cave behind the waterfall is quite wonderful. The cave is134m long, with 6 cave windows, 5 cave halls, 3 cave springs and 2 waterfalls. Visitors can go through the cave and watch the waterfall pouring down outside the cave from the window. Whenever the sun sets in the west, looking out of the window, the rhinoceros pond is full of rainbows, the clouds are steaming and the top of Cangshan Mountain is blushing and blurred. This is the famous "Sunset in water curtain cave". There is also an ice gold hoop in the cave.

In the rhinoceros pond, colorful rainbows are often hung on the splash beads of waterfalls, which move with people and are unpredictable. The ancients said: "The clouds in the sky set off the sky, and the clouds in rhinoceros beach set off the snow-white waterfall." Therefore, it has the reputation of "snow reflecting Sichuan in summer". Tianxing Bridge, 6 kilometers downstream of Huangguoshu, is a newly developed scenic spot. Once the product of "raised in a bedroom, no one knows her" is developed and displayed in front of tourists, people are all fascinated by it. Tianxing Bridge has three connected areas, namely Tianxing Bonsai Point, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area and Shuishilin Scenic Area. Stalagmites are dense, with lush vegetation and beautiful water. "All the water has become a waterfall, which is a package of stones. "These two poems uniquely summarize the scenery here.
