Zifang Lake is also called Pinghu. During the Han Dynasty, Sean (word ovary) practiced military forces day and night on the mountain peak on the west side of the valley, helping Liu Bang to achieve great things and then living in seclusion here, so it was named after Sean's word ovary.

Diecai Cave
Approximate time for sightseeing: (It takes 20 to 30 minutes to see the scenery in the car)
Diecai Cave, a highway tunnel connecting Henan and Shanxi provinces, is a masterpiece of Xiuwu people's struggle for heaven and earth, which lasted for eight years. Twenty-three, end to end, with a total length of more than 4800 meters, overlap between cliffs. In the crevice of the cave, you can see Pingchuan from a distance, the cliff from a distance, the rocks from above and the valley from below, listen to the sound of birds singing and springs like a harp, and smell the fragrance of flowers. There are many strange stones in the area, such as "snail crawling", "warship patrolling", "hairy bamboo shoots entering the clouds", "unable to get down", "scaring red rabbits", "fighting with quails", "looking up to the sky" and "Taihang flowers", which are rare perennial rose herbs named for Chinese Academy of Sciences. Out of Diecai Cave, we arrive at Sanxiufeng, where there is a strange stone, about 40 meters high. Ting 0 stood among the green flowers and changed into a big Ganoderma lucidum, a beautiful village girl and a modern girl who climbed the mountain in a long skirt from different angles. Its peak has beautiful mountains, shixiu and flowers and trees. Passing "Sanxiufeng" means "West Guan Ying". Looking down to the west, you can have a panoramic view of Gaoxia Pinghu.

Just to the south, there stands a "Buddha's niche peak", which has the artistic conception that the Buddha climbs high and goes west, and the Buddha leaves the niche empty.
There is a red canyon in Yuntai Mountain-Wenpanyu.
Wenpanyu, located at the southern end of the ovary in Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area, is a stone gorge about 1 km long and three to twenty meters wide. The widest part of the canyon is only more than 20 meters, the narrowest part is less than 5 meters, and the valley is more than 80 meters deep. Among the numerous canyons in China, it is unique for its exquisite, beautiful, magical and magnificent landscape. It is a collection of springs, waterfalls, streams, ponds and streams in one valley, which is a combination of heroism, danger, strangeness, quietness and beauty. Wen Panyu scenic spot is low below the surface, and the cliffs and rocks on both sides seem to be carved with uncanny workmanship, and it is like the concentrated essence of famous mountains and rivers. From time to time, there are fountains and waterfalls hanging like beads between cliffs. The water is swift and the waterfalls sound like thunder. If the blue sky is clear, a rainbow will be reflected, and within the range of 1 km, "Xiaoyao Stone" and "Kissing Stone" will be enriched. Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain enjoys the reputation of "Bonsai Canyon" and is called "Natural Landscape Gallery" by landscape experts. Wen Panyu is a natural product. 654.38 billion years ago, during the Sinian period, the crust was still moving, and cracks were formed in the mountains, but there was Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain. Surrounded by mountains in the valley, there is a gentle slope, an inconspicuous crack, and Wen Panyu is under the crack. Perhaps 10 billion years ago, mountains and rivers washed here, met with underground caves, and flowing water sneaked into caves to continue washing, but there was Wen Panyu in Yuntai Mountain. Because under the surface, the air in the narrow and deep canyon can't communicate with the external climate normally, forming a unique microclimate in the canyon. In midsummer, the heat outside the valley is unstoppable, but it is autumn in the valley; In the middle of winter, it is snowy outside the valley, but the flowers in the valley are red and green, and the bryophytes grow thickly and are full of spring. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature is moderate, which seems to be in a continuous warmth, hence the name "Wen Panyu". The whole canyon, composed of Chibi, belongs to the rare Danxia landform canyon landscape in northern China, with reddish cliffs, so it is also commonly known as "Hongshi Gorge". Wenpanyu Canyon is also called "Jiulong Lake" and "Jiulong Canyon". There are Shoulongtan, Heilongtan, Qinglongtan, Huanglongtan, Wolongtan, Mianlongtan, Wake Longtan, Zilongtan and Youlongtan in the canyon. It is said that Wen Panyu in Yuntai Mountain was the habitat of Kowloon in ancient times. Nine Longtan, constitute a unique landscape in the canyon, green pool and red mountain, bright and gorgeous. Whether it is boating in the pool or walking to help the wall, it is mysterious and attractive everywhere. From Black Dragon Pool to quiet Austria, the green pool water reflects the scarlet mountains and reveals bright and bright colors. The Black Dragon Cave is 30 meters long and opaque, with a little light in front. Huanglongtan Gorge is more than 20 meters wide, the water is extremely blue, the shallow water is crystal clear, and there are a lot of ornamental stones in the water. Huanglong Waterfall, with a silvery white water curtain pouring down from the top of the valley, is unique and elegant. The sound of the waterfall is like a sudden rain, like a tear, and the waterfall and the spring water gush together. It is really like a huge and exquisite water sculpture and natural mural. Heilongjiang is long and narrow, and it is located in a deep stream with high mountains. Kissing stones are two red stones that jump out of the water. According to legend, they are the romantic incarnations of the dragon lady and the black and white dragon king. Kowloon Canyon, not just Kowloon. There is a narrow canyon at the southern end of Gukou in Panyu, Wen, which is called "the first sight of heaven". It is a waterfall more than 50 meters high and is called Bailong Waterfall. Chen Shuaifo, chairman of China Feng Shui Association, often recuperates here. According to legend, a white dragon lived here in ancient times. High cliffs stand on both sides here, forming a huge stone gate, which is the "local household" of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area called "Tianmen Dihu". "Tianmen" refers to Tianmen Valley and Tianmen Waterfall in Baijiayan. Bailong Waterfall flows into Bailongtan day and night, but the water does not grow or flow out. So where is the water in Bailong Waterfall? It turns out that there is a huge underground river under the pool, from which a lot of water flows, and its outlet is in the moon in Wuliyuan Township, Xiuwu County, our city. This is also recorded in Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics, saying that the Wenpanyu River: "The undercurrent returns in three miles." As one of the main scenic spots in Yuntai Mountain, Qinglong Gorge has the reputation of "the largest canyon in Yuntai Mountain". The graceful Wang Rong Waterfalls, the emerald concentric pools and the wonderful spring and autumn on the rocks constitute a magnificent three-dimensional landscape picture of Qinglong Gorge. Here, waterfalls and springs hang, the lakes are clear, the mountains and rivers are deep, and the plants understand. The spirituality of nature and the agility of life are vividly interpreted here, and the crazy heartbeat and pounding heartbeat are vividly displayed here. It can be called a good place for eco-tourism leisure and summer vacation.
Baijiayan (not open)
Baijiayan (not open) is the birthplace of China landscape garden culture from court to folk. Since ancient times, the mountains and rivers have been beautiful, and Liu Xie, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, used to enjoy the cool in the summer. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, seven famous people, such as Ji Kang, Liu Ling, Xiang Embroidery and Dan Tao, who were known as the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", lived in seclusion in Baijiayan Bamboo Forest for more than 20 years, and met Sun Deng, Wang Lie and other hermits successively, leaving "Sun Dengxiaotai" and ". Qian Qi, a famous poet, one of the top ten gifted scholars in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in this poem commemorating Sun Deng: "Where the cliffs and rocks are surging, the bamboo is deeply inclined. The master was lying on a boulder, and his heart was cleaned up by himself. Spring thunder is near, and the empty valley is half Fang Fei.
(At present, Baijiayan Scenic Area has not been fully developed and will not be opened to the public for the time being. )
