Wangguan Valley Scenic Area

Wangguan Valley Scenic Area

The Wangguan Scenic Area is located at the foothills of the Zhongtiao Mountains in Wangguan Valley, Yongji City, Shanxi Province. On January 10, 1994, it was approved by the State Council to be listed as a National Scenic Area.

Wangguan Valley was where the great poet, writer, and poetry literary theorist Sikong Tu of the late Tang Dynasty spent his later years in seclusion. It was here that he wrote thirty volumes of literary works that have been passed down through history, especially his "Twenty-Four Categories of Poetry," which is an outstanding classic in the history of literature in China and even the world.

Wangguan Valley features deep, serene gullies, cascading waterfalls, layered shaded woods, and peculiar peaks and rocks. It is divided into two waterfall streams — eastern and western. The eastern waterfall is called "Water Droplets Hanging as a Curtain," with a drop of 48.64 meters. The cliff is covered in green moss, and the water appears as pearls falling from the rocks. The western waterfall is named "Stone Cliff Spouting Snow," with a drop of 220 meters. The main peak, Tianzhu Peak, stands tall and upright, while Shuanghe Peak soars into the clouds. Baier Pan features winding paths and turns, and Huangsha Cave is shrouded in mystery.
