Tiger Valley Natural Scenic Spot is a national level scenic spot, integrating both natural scenery and human landscape. Located in Nankou Town of Changping District and at the north side of the Badaling Expressway, it has an area of 94 square kilometers and stretches for 12.5 kilometers, very close to Juyong Pass. One can arrive there by bus. It was opened to the public in 1987.
With mountains, valleys and streams, this scenic spot has 36 sights, including Tongtian Pool, Mountain Huyu, Tianqiao Cave, Huyu Falls, Que'r Cave, etc. Huyu Falls is one of the ancient “eight greatest scenic spots of Beijing”. The 30-meter falls above the Tongtian Pool plunge into the deep pond, and the roaring sound together with the echoes can be heard from afar. White clouds gather in front of the Que'r Cave, and the draught is strong at the mouth of the cave. When one enters the cave, it seems that a faerie is pushing slightly behind. The cave is deep and fogs always flow out of it in rainy days. The nine pools connected by nine falls are extremely beautiful and rare. The human landscape is mainly the Hundred-faerie Cave, including Luck Palace, Xuanyuan Ancestral Temple, Mazu Ancestral Temple, Guangong Ancestral Temple, Zhaogong Ancestral Temple, Huiyuan Palace, Puguang Palace, Jiuru Palace, Liuhe Palace, Xianning Palace, Desheng Palace, Yuanjue Palace, and Taixu Palace. There are 128 statues of Sakyamuni, Lao-tsu, Mazu, Guangong, etc. The statue of “Dripping Kwan-yin” is in a cave 70 meters high. There is also the scenic sight of Primitive World inside the Hundred-faerie Cave. |
