Shigu Liao Scenic Area

　　   Yongkang Shigu Liao Film and Television City is a major component of the Fangyan Scenic Area, a national-level scenic spot. Established in 2002, as soon as you enter the Shigu Liao Scenic Area and walk up the steps toward Jinko Temple, you will see stone lions, stone elephants, stone drums, and stone bells, as if you have stepped into a world of stone forests. These peculiar rock formations stand tall on the cliffs, lifelike and overwhelming to the eye. At the entrance, a proud lion stands on one side while a gentle elephant stands on the other, both towering magnificently — this is commonly referred to as the “lion and elephant guarding the gate.” 　

　　　　   Going further inside, on either side of the cliffs, a stone bell and a stone drum stand facing each other, “as if you can hear the sounds of the bell and drum coming from the heavens.” Observing the stone forest at Shigu Liao leaves one with endless meaning and boundless imagination. The enormous stone drum bears the marks of the world’s changes and is rich with the experience of enduring wind and frost. The name “Shigu Liao” comes from this large stone drum. “Stroking the stone drum awakens old dreams” — listen, pom pom pom, the earth-shaking drum beats again, leaving behind a resonance that lingers long and far.
　　

　　　　   Deep mountains hide ancient temples. Deqing Temple is built within a spacious and airy large stone cave, shaded by lush pines and surrounded by swaying bamboos, with winding paths leading deep inside — the temple is only visible when you reach the cave entrance. During the Anti-Japanese War, when the Zhejiang Provincial Government relocated to Wufeng Chonglou in Fangyan to operate, the provincial governor Huang Shaokang once stayed here temporarily.　
　　

　　　　   The scenery near Deqing Temple is beautiful, with an ever-flowing waterfall of flying beads on either side of the temple. Two waterfalls on the cliffs run side by side, rushing straight down, and converge in the lower part — this is the famous Mandarin Duck Waterfall. With a drop of over fifty meters, the Mandarin Duck Waterfall is majestic, and beneath it lies a deep pool where fish swim leisurely.
