Lovers' Valley Scenic Area

Lovers' Valley Scenic Area (also known as Xiangsi Pool) is located at the Sancha Reservoir and Shuiyuan Gorge, southeast of Litang Town, Binyang County. It is about 13 kilometers from the town center, only 2 to 3 kilometers from the Litang section of the Nanning–Wuzhou Second-Class Highway, and just 17 kilometers from the Wangling Entrance of the Guihai Expressway, making it very accessible. The area boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, with enchanting natural scenery. Stretching approximately 8 kilometers in length, the valley winds along the gorge, with scenery that gradually ascends and naturally forms four main scenic zones.

(1) Lovers' Lake Scenic Area. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the lake has clear water with reflections of green pines and bamboo. Its surface shimmers with ripples, resembling a giant mirror embedded in lush greenery — an ideal spot for sightseeing, swimming, and fishing.

(2) Stone Pool Scenic Area. Located in the middle of Lovers' Valley, this area extends about 1 kilometer. The mountain stream meanders through the valley with murmuring waters, and waterfalls plunge into deep pools with thunderous roars. Along the way, there are over ten stone pools of various sizes, their waters cool and clear year-round. The surrounding rocks are rugged and uniquely shaped — some poolside stone slabs can accommodate over a hundred people. Being here feels like stepping into a fairyland, making it a truly enchanting and unforgettable experience.

(3) Cliff Wall Scenic Area. Featuring steep cliffs that are 100 meters long, 10 meters wide, and dozens of meters high, the vertical rock faces are majestic and awe-inspiring, as if cut by nature’s hand. The cliffs are dotted with scattered trees and hanging vines that twist like writhing snakes, creating a dramatic contrast with the stone pools and flowing waters below, enhancing the area's sense of grandeur and seclusion.

(4) Waterfall Scenic Area. This area consists of four or five large and small waterfalls, with a total drop of about 60 meters. The waterfalls cascade one after another through winding paths, creating a spectacular and magnificent sight.
