Shenxian Valley Scenic Area

　　The Shenxian Valley canyon stretches for 4 kilometers in total.

　　The Shenxian Valley Scenic Area is located within the jurisdiction of Liucun Village Committee in the southwest of Liuzu Town, nestled on Bijia Mountain—one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Xinxing County—and is just four kilometers away from the Longshan Tourist Resort. Covering an area of approximately 2,609 mu, the valley itself extends about four kilometers. It derives its name from the legendary traces of immortals and is a newly developed natural ecological scenic area with great tourism potential.

　　Following the footpath to the valley entrance, visitors are greeted by a series of cascading waterfalls, peculiar mountains and rocks, and staggered green bamboo—all sure to delight travelers. As you walk along the dense forest trail, golden sunlight filters through layers of lush foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Here, the sounds of the stream and birdsong blend harmoniously, evoking tales of the Eight Immortals from days gone by.

　　By taking the mountain path on the left and making your way through the woods, you will soon come upon two massive boulders meeting in the middle, blocking the path. Together they form a round cave. No matter how proud or defiant you may usually be, to pass this obstacle, you must bow your head and bend your body. Legend has it that this immortal cave is magical—make a sincere wish before the cave, then crawl through it. As long as you manage to pass through without letting your back touch the top, no matter the method, your wish will come true, as you’ll have remained virtuous.

　　A large number of Alsophila spinulosa trees (black tree ferns) have been discovered in Shenxian Valley. These ancient plants, dating back to the dinosaur era hundreds of millions of years ago and classified as a first-class nationally protected species, mostly grow along valley streams, near waterfalls, and on moist, steep cliffs at altitudes of 600 to 700 meters. There are around a thousand of them, with several reaching heights of four to five meters, dark brown in color and with straight trunks—truly a rare sight.

　　After bidding farewell to the immortal cave, continue upward. Layer after layer of waterfalls crash down like shattered jade or crushed ice, their origins seemingly mysterious, as if bestowed by the heavens. Standing amidst such a scene, you will forget your fatigue and gradually become enraptured…

　　The peculiar mountains, elegant rocks, and lush forests of Shenxian Valley intertwine, blending their artistic conception, charm, and spiritual essence into a naturally formed multi-layered, multi-faceted painting.
