Xinglong Stone Gorge Valley

Xinglong Stone Gorge Valley

Xinglong Stone Gorge Valley is located in the ancient Qibingzhai historical site scenic area of Donghuaiyu. It features the best-preserved ancient Qibingzhai ruins in the country, the natural wonder Chaoyang Cave that has existed for tens of thousands of years, and over 100 historic sites such as the Jade Emperor Temple...

The scenic area is located in the southeastern part of Zichuan and is the water source of Tianzhuang Reservoir. It covers an area of over 8,000 acres, with altitudes ranging between 600–700 meters. The area experiences significant seasonal temperature variations and boasts beautiful natural landscapes, characterized by deep, serene valleys and picturesque scenery. The entire scenic area is divided into seven zones with over 30 attractions: the Lovers’ Gorge Leisure Zone, the Jiang Taigong Fishing Culture Zone, the Red Base Tourism Zone, the Farmhouse Culture & Folk Custom Zone, the Qibingzhai Exploration Zone, the Bizarre Rocks & Forest Mountains Zone, and the Wetland & Scenic Waters Zone.

In spring and summer, lush vegetation and birdsong abound, creating an uplifting atmosphere that evokes a sense of harmony with nature. The fertile land nurtures century-old native forests with towering ancient trees and dense canopies. Mountains, caves, springs, and pools complement one another, forming a natural oxygen bar and a sea of green. Walking through this “green curtain” composed of over 500 plant species, you’ll encounter more than 100 species of well-known and lesser-known birds and animals — such as thrushes, larks, magpies, long-tailed tits, great tits, cuckoos, parrots, orioles, woodpeckers, doves, wild pigeons, golden eagles, pheasants, brown eared pheasants, mountain rabbits, and hog badgers — roaming and playing freely among the woods, adding a delightful touch to the experience. The whole scenic area feels like a vast park where ancient flora and fauna converge.

In autumn and winter, the land is rich with fruit, and the mountains are blanketed in white. Strolling here stirs a sense of reflection on the passage of time and the cycle of the seasons. Legends such as that of the Yin-Yang Stones, the tale of Si Ermao and the fox spirit, and the history of Sun Bin’s troop encampment come alive. Scenic spots like the Eagle Display Platform and Cloud Mist Summit are shrouded in mist, while the Wild Wolf Valley and Sky-Piercing Mountain Ridge feature majestic landscapes. The Goddess Mother Spring and Ox Nose Cave offer enchanting views, and the South Heaven Gate and Stone Slide Cave Cluster present a stunning array of rock formations... The seamless blend of natural beauty and cultural history allows visitors to enjoy breathtaking scenery while immersing themselves in ancient legends. When you’re tired from walking, head to the fruit-growing area to pick fresh fruit, wash it in the mountain spring water, and take a bite — your fatigue will vanish. On your way home, visit the livestock farming area or the organic food development zone to select some free-range poultry, meat products, or genuine organic food to take back. They’re healthy and nutritious for your own consumption or thoughtful and meaningful gifts for friends.

This ancient land has not only given birth to the beautiful and culturally rich Qibingzhai ancient ruins scenic area but also nurtured the kind-hearted, simple, and lovely people of Donghuaiyu. With their hardworking hands, they have turned the mountains into works of art, and with their wisdom, they have preserved the land’s mountains and waters.

However, as the saying goes, “The beautiful Qibingzhai scenery remains hidden like a maiden yet to be discovered.” These splendid landscapes are still relatively unknown, and their wonders await further development. The people of Donghuaiyu are eager to open their arms and share this beautiful scenery with everyone, and they warmly welcome visionary investors to join them in building a bright future.
