Wangxiangyan Scenic Area

Walking out of the Shibanyan Town southward, you'll find the Lushui River moving her light steps towards you. The Flat-top pine exposed to weathers of 800 years is still standing upright with its curving strong branches thrusting into the sky and extends his warm welcome to you, right in front of the entry of the Wangxiangyan Scenic Area.

With streams on the east, cliffs on the west, peaks around, the Wangxiangyan Scenic Area is a tight close valley, facing the Zhuque Peak ahead, coinciding with the ideal alignment in the ancient Chinese geomantic omen study, thus attracting lots of celebrities and hermits of all dynasties to live here. With thrilling deep valleys, upright peaks, Wangxiangyan has elegancy being latent in majesty, wonders in primitives. The harshly cut cliffs reminding people of the marvelous art of the nature have obvious geological layers exposed. The quiet narrow paths winding through green bushes around steep rising huge wall-like stones make walking at the bottom of the valley such a pleasant experience. Climbing the mountain is another enjoyment here. The odd peaks rising beside you, the waterfalls thundering around you, the dense leaves of sky-covering trees over you, and a primitive village court suddenly showing in front of you will set you in a world of illusions. Wangxiangyan is abundant in plants, especially those rare Chinese herbs such as weeping forsythia, Chinese thorowax, glossy ganoderma, tuber of multiflower knotweed, etc. The multiflower knotweed of the size of a fist living on the valley cliffs may be more than 200 years old, accreting very slowly with only a volume like a corn grain each year. It has even taken more than 1,000 years for some of the glossy ganoderma living on the withered branches on the moist mountain land of Wangxiangyan to be what they are now.
