Heart Peak

Located southwest of the nature reserve, Heart Peak derived its name for its heart shape. Extending east to west, it has an altitude of 1,300m. The granite and marble that constitute the mountain body could be dated 0.4-0.6 billion years ago. On the southern and northern sides of the peak are mainly deep and steep cliffs and the terrains slow down on the eastern and western sides. Surrounded by rivers from three sides, it has a picturesque landscape. The natural resources include rare tree species, wild animals and medicinal herbs of high values. In the western part, gold and marble mines are discovered with abundant reserves.

Among the high peaks and thick forests, creeks, waterfalls and ponds are dotted everywhere in the reserve area. In addition, waterfalls in Seven Star Pool and Five Dragon Pool have gained a lot of popularity for their unique features. Moreover, various stalactite grottos have formed a lot of sights in the attraction, such as the Tianxin Cave, Xianren Cave, Stalactite Cave complex, Wind Cave and so on.

Located on Mountain Manzi, the southern extension of Mountain Baotianman, the Five Dragon Pool derived its name from five pools that came out as a result of waterfalls coming down the valleys. The five pools, namely, Yellow Dragon Pool, Red Dragon Pool, White Dragon Pool, Purple Dragon Pool, and Black Dragon Pool, are said to be the places where pythons transformed into dragons. With the most spectacular view, the Black Dragon Pool is formed by an 80m high waterfall running down from the cliff.
