Emerald Valley |
The Feicui (Emerald) Valley, also known as the "Lovers' Valley", is situated at Shancha village of Tangkou town, Huangshan district. 6km long, it is the longest valley in Donghai of Huangshan Mountain.
The Emerald Valley, running along the terraced mountainside, leads up to the top of the mountains. It is strewn with glittering green pools in various shapes and sizes. With the constant change of light, the water changes its color into all shades of green, hence the name Emerald Valley.
The stream in the valley, named the Biyu (or Jade) Stream, rises in the Liandan, Shixin and Tiannu peaks. The valley is surrounded by cliffs and dotted with oddly shaped rocks and caves. The most interesting and evocative scenic spots include the Lion-Headed Rock, Clam Beach, Guantiandong Watching Sky Cave, Overlapping Jade Rock, Frolic Rock, Crawling Cave and Crane Dancing Rock. But the real eye-catchers are those waters to be found in some 100 pools of different shapes and sizes. The riot of the waters' colors presents a kaleidoscopic scene. In addition, the waterfalls and bamboo forests add radiance and beauty to each other, producing a breathtaking effect.
