Baishuiyang Stream
It is the only “shoal water square” in the world. The flat riverbed, which stretches about 2 kilometers with a total area of 80,000 square meters, provides a great place for water sports and water activities. The water is only ankle deep. The middle part is the most wonderful scenic spot in Baishuiyang. The even riverbed allows visitors to ramble in it bare footed to experience the softness of the water, and enjoy a free foot massage. There is a 330-foot-long (100-meter-long) natural surfing skidway. Tourists only need to lie down on the skidway and the water will push them to the lower reaches. The stone on the skidway is very slick from the river’s erosion and will not hurt you.
In Baishuiyang, you can also do some other water sports, like drifting and walking in a water ball. The drifting costs CNY 70 for a whole journey and CNY35 for a half journey. The one-person water ball costs CNY 30 and 2-person ball costs CNY 50. Apart from these water sports, you can also visit Gauze Cap Rock, which looks like a black gauze cap, Double Dragon Bridge, which is a wooden-arched corridor bridge, and Five Elders Peak from which you can see the entire Baishuiyang.
Yuanyang Stream
It has 66 square kilometers and offers a subtle blend of brooks, peaks, rocks, falls, caves and lakes. From September to April, thousands of mandarin ducks fly here from the north to spend the winter no matter how far it is, so it is called “Mandarin Duck Stream”, or Yuanyang Stream in Chinese. Unlike Baishuiyang, you will need to hike, so please wear sports shoes. Also, to visit the whole scenic area requires 3-4 hours, so bring some food and water. Its main sightseeing spots include:
Baizhang Fall &Water Curtain Cave
You will regret it if you ignore these two scenic spots. The waterfall is 515 feet (157 meters) high and more than 66 feet (20 meters) wide. Its water drops straight into the pond and creates lots of sprays. The Water Curtain Cave is behind the Baizhang Fall. The cave is 10 feet (3 meters) high and 13 feet (4 meters) wide. According to the locals, sometimes monkeys live in it.
Baizhang Cave Lift
Baizhang Cave Lift attracts large numbers of people here. It is a unique lift built in the mountain. The lift is as high as 40 floors and its speed is up to 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) per second. The technology of constructing this lift is very complicated and the workers risked their lives.
Lingyun Plank Road:
The 550-yard-long (500-meter-long) plank road is embedded on the cliff. From here you can see the whole Yuanyang Stream Scenic Spot. If it is rainy or foggy, you may feel like you are standing on the clouds.
Blue Butterfly Fall is one of the most beautiful falls along Yuanyang Stream. The fall slants a little because the running water jumps and surges downward along the slope instead of dropping straight down. The spurting drops of water look like pearls, so the fall has another name, “Pearl Fall”. Looking up to the right, an extrusive rock in the middle fall looks like a man’s head. With the water rushing downwards to his head, the whole scene resembles a man taking a shower.
Cangtan Magnificent Fall. The river from Baishuiyang rushes downward here, then squeezes down into a pond through its funnel shaped mouth and forms a 10-foot-wide (3-meter-wide) fall. Each side of the fall has a rock that looks like a huge turtle. There are lines of footprints on the ledge beside the pond. As the saying goes, they are from the dragon.
Trumpet Fall is the most ingenious fall here. Influenced by rocks on two sides, the running water takes the shape of a big trumpet. The river drops downward from the mouth of the trumpet and water flowers fly in the air.
