Jiuxi River Scenic Area

　　The Jiuxi River Scenic Area spans 5.18 square kilometers and is a small river formed by the convergence of numerous streams in the Sanbai Mountain region. It is a stretch of river before it joins the Dongfeng Lake, characterized by its winding course surrounded by mountains and water, forming several sharp bends. Shallow shoals and deep pools follow one after another. Towering peaks line both banks, dense forests create increasingly enclosed visual spaces as you go deeper, often making it hard to tell the direction of the water flow. Major scenic spots in the area include Twin Breast Peaks, Plow Tip Peak, Master’s Chair Flying Spring, Fishing Hook Pool, Iron Plate Rock, Giant Clam Emerging from Water, Immortal Finger Peak, and Divine Crocodile Swimming in the Pool.

　　1. Twin Breast Peaks: Located 8 kilometers from the central Fuaotang area. Two tall, closely standing peaks resemble a young woman’s full breasts, hence the name “Twin Breast Peaks.” On rainy days, springs that look like milk gush out from the rocks.

　　2. Master’s Chair Flying Spring: Located 6 kilometers from the central Fuaotang area. This waterfall features three tiers and three drops, resembling a master’s chair, with a drop of over 50 meters. The pool at the base is wide and crystal clear, presenting a majestic sight.

　　3. Fishing Hook Pool: Located 8.5 kilometers from the central Fuaotang area. Its shape resembles a fishing hook. The pool covers an area of about 50 square meters and is about 4 meters deep, surrounded by lush green mountains with reflections rippling in the clear water.

　　4. Iron Plate Rock: Located 7 kilometers from the central Fuaotang area. A massive natural rock barrier stands on the right side of the walking trail, measuring 15–17 meters in height and 56 meters in length, making it an ideal spot for cliff inscriptions. It is also referred to as the “Copper-Iron Wall.”

　　5. Giant Clam Emerging from Water: Located 5 kilometers from the central Fuaotang area. Two large rocks stand upright in the riverbed, vividly resembling a giant clam rising from the water.

　　6. Immortal Finger Peak: Located 5 kilometers from the central Fuaotang area. On the mountain opposite the walking trail on the left, five peaks are arranged in a scattered yet orderly fashion, resembling the fingers of an immortal, hence the name “Immortal Finger Peak.”

　　7. Divine Crocodile Swimming in the Pool: Located 7.5 kilometers from the central Fuaotang area. A rock shaped like a giant crocodile appears to be leisurely floating on the water surface.
