As the saying goes, "Huangshan returns without looking at the mountains, and Jiuzhai returns without looking at the water." Huangshan and Jiuzhai are undoubtedly the top scenic spots in China and even the world. However, there is a "Little Jiuzhai" hidden in the mountains of Anhui Province, which is as green as jade, but it is called "West Huangshan".
The name of this scenic spot is Guniujiang, which is located in shitai county, Chizhou City. Let's start with its nickname "Xiao Jiuzhai". Entering Guniujiang Scenic Area, the first step is the canyon below the mountain. This section of mountain road is gentle and easy to walk, and the calm pool next to it is like jade embedded in the valley. All the friends who have been there can feel that there is really the beautiful charm of Jiuzhai here.
The water in Guniu River is not only "static", but also "dynamic". Walking against the direction of the water flowing into the scenic spot, you feel the waterfall of Gunniu, and the sound of spring water plays the wonderful music of nature, which makes people forget the pressure of life in the reinforced concrete city instantly.
The innermost waterfall in the scenic spot is particularly spectacular, because the view is in the direction of sunset. Suggest coming around five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the waterfall is very layered and the time is the most beautiful.
Why is Guniujiang also called "West Huangshan"? Friends who climb Guniujiang Mountain will find that the mountain in Guniujiang Scenic Area is not high. If it is as spectacular and shocking as the top of Huangshan Mountain, it is definitely impossible. The bull's health is more about leisure and fun, and the visual impact depends on water.
Then why is it called "West Huangshan"? Because shitai county borders Qimen County of Huangshan Mountain, the distance is very close, and the location is just to the west of Huangshan Mountain.
Most importantly, Guniujiang is the remnant vein of Huangshan Mountain. If you know something about geology, it is not difficult to see that the rock properties and vegetation types here are exactly the same as those in Huangshan Mountain. It is a typical granite landform. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with calling him "Xihuangshan".
Guniujiang in Shitai is a national 4a-level scenic spot, and the ticket is 100 yuan. The flow of people in the scenic spot is small, but the walking distance is still very long. It is recommended to wear sports shoes and clothes, and pay attention to safety when approaching mountains and water.
