Shimenchong

　　Shimenchong Scenic Area, situated in Danzhou Town, Sanjiang County, lies 35 kilometers from the county seat of Sanjiang and 167 kilometers from downtown Liuzhou. The area is a tourist destination primarily focused on a cluster of waterfalls for ecological leisure, characterized by its uniqueness, beauty, and elegance. It combines elements of pristine, untouched, authentic, and unspoiled nature. As you walk along the stream, you’ll find several waterfalls of varying heights and sizes, with drops ranging from 20 to 90 meters. Both the stream and the pools are ideal for swimming, making this a heavenly paradise described as “a dress rack of ancient thousand-year-old trees and a bathing basin of miles-long stone gates.”

　　The scenic area spans a total planned area of over 5,230 acres, with well-preserved natural ecology. It is home to more than 60 types of nationally protected rare plants, including horse hoof rice, nanmu wood, Alsophila spinulosa, red bean trees, and orchids. More than 60 species of nationally protected wild animals such as wild boar, yellow weasel, pheasant, rabbit, monkey-faced owl, golden pheasant, and giant salamander often roam the forests. As you enter the scenic area, you’ll be greeted by serene valleys, towering ancient trees, steep cliffs, and clusters of waterfalls. Two streams originating from the primeval forest meander like ribbons, with crystal-clear springs flowing gently amid rustling grasses, birds chirping in chorus, and butterflies dancing gracefully. The tranquil streams sometimes resemble a gentle and graceful fairy combing her long hair, other times a youthful lad sprinting ahead and leaping downward… Together they form over 20 large and small waterfall groups, with the highest nearly 80 meters and the lowest around 10 meters. A 3-kilometer trek through the primeval forest offers an adventure through ancient trees, entangled vines, and fragrant flowers and birds, making it hard to leave. Truly, “Even the heavenly Jade Pool cannot compare—our hearts belong to earthly Shimenchong.”
