"The most beautiful scar on the earth" refers to the Malinghe Grand Canyon. By scar, it means that the scenery here originates from the gap between the sky and the earth, which is a masterpiece of nature; It means beautiful, which means that the situation here has its own characteristics. The ditches, waterfalls, walls and caves are interlinked, and the scenery is picturesque.
After entering the scenic spot, I know that the appearance here is no different from other scenic spots, with lush trees; Closer but more different. At this time, it is nearly November, and it is late autumn and early winter. Many people in Xingyi City still dress up with short sleeves. In Guizhou, the climate is closer to Yunnan. As the ladder sinks, I feel the temperature rises imperceptibly, and the common live creatures such as butterflies and spiders in spring and summer also gradually reappear. At the bottom of the ditch, the lenses of the glasses were even more white with a thick fog. I think the temperature here has risen a lot. Only then did I find a waterfall hanging in the front of the river, flying down three thousand feet; There are also several jade belts on the right, which reverberate from near to far.
If other people are around, they usually go right from here on and go down all the way. However, when we looked back, we saw that there was also an indicator tablet on the left, and the Tao was the source of the waterfall. Curious, he walked slowly upstream, only heard the sound of water, and never saw the shadow of water. The earth wall on the opposite side, though steep, is not hard and smooth. It is stacked in layers, like dragon scales or armor. It is said that this is also a kind of calcification. It is the same vein as Jiuzhai Huanglong, but its appearance is different. After passing several mountains and caves along the river, three long dragons emerged from the cliff at the same time. One dragon comes out of the water, two dragons play with the water, and three dragons come out of the water. It happened that the warm winter sun was shining and there were rainbows. Note that the rainbows here are in pieces, that is, in a round shape, unlike those seen in Huangguoshu and other places, they are all together. As for the round one, it is either a rainbow or a Buddha light. We are foolish and can only describe its shape, but we can't deny it.
Back on the original way, down the river, there are many stalactites on both sides of the head, and the dripping spring water seeps down, moistening the direction of walking. After passing an iron lock suspension bridge, you will find a natural cave. When you come out, you can see the scenery of the bank on the other side. The vegetation is luxuriant, which is quite different from the exposed rock and soil here. In my eyes, the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, one full, one single, one green, one gold, one young and one old, complement each other. After a journey, you will see the largest waterfall. The black rock with moss protruding from the middle separates the neat waterfall, which is really different. Another suspension bridge is the way up. Here, in addition to the stone steps, there is also a glass elevator, which goes straight up and down, transparent from front to back.
Like Maling River Grand Canyon, Wanfeng Forest is a gift left by nature to Xingyi. Fortunately, these two scenic spots have not reached the level of national fame, otherwise they may also reach the situation of jostling one another.
As the name implies, there are groups of peaks in Wanfeng Forest, and there are magnificent peaks on the land. A hundred years ago, Xu Xiake once traveled here, and there are records. In fact, a similar scenic spot is more famous, that is Guilin landscape. In fact, Guilin's mountains are also on the land, but with the water of Yangshuo, you can view the scenery from the water and realize "boat walking on the river, people swimming in the painting". What Xingyi is short of is water. The scenery from the road on the land is very interesting. The water view is basically on the same plane, and there are ups and downs in the car. Moreover, the design of roads is more complex than that of waterways, so it can be seen from all directions to achieve the feeling of "peaks form on both sides of the mountain when viewed horizontally, with different heights from far to near".
These peaks have radians, just like those in Guilin. The far view is an arc, and the near view is full of vegetation. This crisp green is endless, like the result of cloning. Although these twin brothers are similar in appearance, they still have great differences, ups and downs. As a result, the West Peak Group is more peaceful, like watching the sea. We know the sea, the bamboo sea and the forest sea. In fact, there is a more spectacular peak sea here. There are many peaks together, stretching for hundreds of miles. Is it a peak near, a peak far away or a peak? It stretches to the horizon. I don't know where it ends. The altitude of the peak is not high, but the slope is steep, so it is not easy to climb. Therefore, except for natural green plants, it is not easy to cultivate or plant trees. Nearby, the houses of the common people are hidden among the peaks, while the distance is completely covered by green and mountains.
When the sun comes down, it casts layers of golden light, but some of it is dissolved by the clouds and becomes the lower boundary of shadow projection. As a result, the color of the mountain changed, dark green in the shadow and new green in the sun. This dark green is not so deep as to distinguish black and white, but the precipitation of mountain scenery, which seems to be a mature fruit. This new green is not so shallow as to be indistinguishable, but the sprout of mountain scenery, which seems to be pregnant with new life. Maybe new peaks are rising like this.
After visiting the completely quiet East Peak Group and arriving at the West Peak, I found that there are many smart people in it. There are many villages under the peaks here, one after another. So in addition to the scene of the peak itself, the dam, folk houses and rice fields on the plain also become the source of the scene. From a distance, I haven't felt it yet. Maybe I'm still immersed in the fantasy and reverie of the mountain form, but the nearby pavilions are more real and lovely. At the weekend, the farmhouse and hotels here are full. In addition to our driving, there are also cyclists, runners and walkers. Moreover, it is not just one or two, but in groups of three or five, with families and families. It was a relaxing weekend, a leisurely time and a warm atmosphere. It was an afternoon in Xingyi, a border town.
In addition to the smell of bamboo and mountain forest, there is also a sweet taste in the air. Sweet comes from life, from the hospitality to guests here, and more directly. The water here is very sweet, and the corn grown here is even more watery.
