Travel tips
You can climb Tianzhu Mountain at night to see the sunrise, remember to check the weather in advance
After touring the entire scenic area, it's relatively physically demanding, so wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and prepare a hiking stick
There are shops on Tianchi Peak selling instant noodles and grilled sausages, or you can bring your own supplies
There will be two roads to choose from in a few sections of the mysterious valley. I basically choose the road to go, because similar holes have been drilled in other scenic spots, and in order to hurry, it will not be drilled. The Mekong God is really like, and the scenery along the way is not bad. There is an open air, a deep and low place, a pine and a pool, and the color of the fairy house with the boss Yuandongfu, it is OK.
The mysterious valley of Tianzhu Mountain is really a sense of mystery. Here you can go down the mountain road and you can go up the mountain road, but whether you are going up the mountain or down the mountain, you can feel this mystery. This mystery comes from the shapes of surprises that you look up or down, or every stone you look around. But it is important to note that you must protect your body, walk without viewing, view without walking, this is what we should pay attention to.
From Zhenyi Gang up, soon entered the mysterious valley of Tianzhu Mountain, the mountaineering route passed through the caves of large and small rocks, and it was hidden from time to time. The scenery along the way was good, and the scenery of Tianzhu Mountain was gradually entering the good environment.
The mysterious valley is known as Tianzhu Mountain "the first secret of granite". There are holes in the valley, and there are holes in the cave. The mysterious valley has marble blocks washed into strange rocks by the stream, crystal clear blue pools and steep cliffs on both sides of the Straits. In the valley, the water pool at the bottom is the most beautiful place in the mysterious valley, the water is clear and unforgettable.
Mystery Valley is a great wonder of Tianzhu Mountain, located under Feilai Peak, known as the first secret house of granite caves, known as "Tianzhu Yiju". Taoist family is called Siyuan Dongfu. The geographical location is very dangerous, the valley is five or six Huali, the whole valley is staggered, the dangerous cave is deep, the 54 caves at the bottom of the valley have different shapes, the cluster is staggered, the cave is connected, the cave is connected, the scenery is changed, and the mystery is unpredictable.
Mystery Valley Mystery Valley Stone consists of Dragon Palace, Labyrinth, Xiaoyao Palace, etc., from the entrance of Longyin Tiger Xiaoya, through the Wuzhifeng, close to the Feilaifeng, surrounded by the Everest, direct to the Duxian Bridge, the total length is more than 400 meters, the gap is more than 100 meters. From the outside, the mysterious valley, a valley of stone piles, and nearly a hundred stone caves are all in the pile of stone, no matter how many tourists, only smell their voices, it is difficult to see their people.
