After passing the mountain-shaped bamboo tower Tangkeng Gate Tower, you will officially enter the Tangkeng Scenic Area. The "Eighteen Waterfalls in the Sky" landscape composed of the Eighteen Curtain Waterfalls and the strange rocks along the road are highlights that cannot be missed. Walking The tour takes about 1.5 hours round trip. Walking along the trail, you will pass by strange stone landscapes such as immortals playing chess, lions celebrating birthdays, etc. Not far away, you will reach Cuiping to welcome guests. This is the eighteen waterfalls in the sky, and nearby is the bamboo dragon, the symbol of the entire scenic spot. The dragon's spine climbs up the ridge, and the tail cannot be seen, which is quite impressive. The water mist sprayed from the dragon's mouth, you may see a rainbow on a clear morning.

Continuing forward, Meihuashan Lane is a mountain stream and triple waterfall. The cliffs and plum blossoms set off each other, making it the most spectacular scene in the scenic area. There are several bamboo rafts here. Visitors can take long poles to get close to the waterfall, take photos and feel the coolness. There is a long corridor in the nearby Mianbixuan where you can take a rest. You can almost see the entire body of the bamboo dragon here. Continue to climb up along the trestle on the cliff, and you will find that each waterfall in the back has its own unique shape. Currently, you can climb to the 9th curtain waterfall where the peacock is in full bloom. The area beyond that is currently undeveloped, so don’t enter rashly.

Standing at the antipodal pavilion not far from the entrance of Maotang, you can see the famous "Maotang Waterfall" in Shangougou, which is quite spectacular. Tracing the waterfall is an interesting recreational activity in Maotang. Put on your straw sandals and safety helmet and climb up the waterfall, which is very refreshing.
