Funing Huaguoshan Scenic Area

The Huaguoshan Scenic Area features attractions such as "White Snake Spits Cloth," "Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate," "Water Curtain Cave," "Sunny Day Rainfall," "Reclining Buddha Mountain," "Penholder Mountain," and "Peak Heavenly Lantern." The wonders of Huaguoshan once astonished ancient local officials; they erected a stone tablet at the "Mouth of the Water Curtain Cave," inscribed with a poem titled "Eastern Capital Times," which reads: "Huaguoshan sees waterfalls soaring high, where temporary jade screens rise in the shade. Wait till spring warms the breeze in March, and stone walls send up thousand-foot waves."

"White Snake Spits Cloth" cascades down from an 84-meter-high cliff, echoing the charm of "a waterfall plunging three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way fell from the ninth heaven," with its roaring sound echoing through the valley; the "Water Curtain Cave" resembles a crystal-clear grotto hanging at the cave’s mouth, inside which the "Immortal Pool" where the Monkey King once feasted on fruits and drank fresh spring water still remains; natural wonders such as "Reclining Buddha Mountain," "Penholder Mountain," and "Peak Heavenly Lantern" will leave you in awe of nature’s masterful craftsmanship. The Huaguoshan Scenic Area has also added rainbow trout to its dining options—friends from Qinhuangdao no longer need to travel all the way to Huairou in Beijing. Whether you prefer steamed, grilled, or eaten raw, it can all be served there.
