Liuyin Mountain Grand Canyon Scenic Area

Liuyin Mountain Grand Canyon Scenic Area

The Liuyin Mountain Scenic Area, hometown of Liu Zongyuan, is located two kilometers south of Yucheng Town, covering an area of 2,000 acres. It was formerly home to the Baiti Temple, commonly known as Sìyù. As a major thoroughfare on the eastern route of the national-level Wulao Peak Scenic Area, the valley boasts stunning mountain scenery, elegant waterfalls and springs, rushing streams, high gorges with serene lakes, and rippling blue waters. In March, apricot blossoms paint the forest red while peach and plum flowers compete in fragrance, green bamboos and cypresses stand tall, and a riot of flowers blooms everywhere — the valley is a sea of blossoms. In summer, pine and cypress trees provide dense shade, with flying waterfalls, clear springs, winding streams, and shimmering blue lakes offering endless fun for drifting and playing. In autumn, red leaves cover the mountains, maple trees shimmer golden, fall foliage flows in hues of red, and crimson clouds spread like brocade. Wild fruits hang ready to greet visitors, and wild animals can often be spotted. In winter, icefalls hang upside down, pines and cypresses are cloaked in white, trees and branches are encased in jade-like ice, snow blankets the peaks and mountains, and icy lakes mirror the landscape. Ice-skating and snow play make it a place hard to leave. This mountain’s scenery is captivating, with cultural attractions featuring landscapes, waters, peaks, and stones along the way.
