Shimen Waterfall:
Shimen Waterfall is a suspended waterfall in Shimen Cave Scenic Area, facing the northeast and consisting of five waterfalls. The source of Shimen Waterfall Group is Dongbei Village. The upper side of the canyon on both sides of the stream is about 300 meters wide, the lower side is about 50 meters wide, and the slope is about 60 degrees, showing a "V" shape. Its water potential and quantity are the first of the three waterfalls in East China (Dalong Waterfall, Liang Shi Waterfall and Shimen Waterfall). Because the source is the forest, it has strong water retention capacity, and even in winter, the water volume is relatively large, which is called "a must in East China". From the first-class waterfall to the fifth-class waterfall, the underflow is about 800 meters long, the total drop is about 180 meters, and the catchment area is 5 square kilometers. The first waterfall has a drop of 20 meters and a width of 2 meters. The pool area is about 150 square meters, and the deepest pool is about 5 meters. There is an 80-meter-long iron cable bridge in front of the first-class waterfall, which connects the rock walls on the east and west sides, making the natural moat a thoroughfare. The fall of the secondary waterfall is about 22 meters, the width is about 2.5 meters, the pool area is about 120 square meters, and the deepest part is about 2 meters. The three-level waterfall has a drop of about 7.5m, a width of about 1 .5m, a pool area of about 50m2 and a depth of about1m.. The fall of the four-level waterfall is about 10 meter, the pool area is about 20 square meters, and the deepest part is about 2 meters. The five-level waterfall is at the end of Shimen Cave. The waterfall falls straight down from the cliff with a width of about 5 meters and a height of 1 12.5 meters, like a black dragon and a white snake flying. Waterfall Lake, also known as Jiyintan Lake, covers an area of about 1.500 square meters and the deepest part is about 10 meter. Fish swim in the pool, and the water in the pool is crystal clear. In order to maintain the waterfall flow, in 2002, a reservoir with a storage capacity of 6.5438+0.6 million cubic meters was built in Dongbei Village, upstream of the first-class waterfall. Waterfalls don't change much with the seasons, but the rainy season is the best time to watch them.
Shimen Waterfall is blue-gray limestone with hard rocks. The formation and development of waterfalls are related to geological faults. The mountains are controlled by extensional fault zones, which repel each other and cause faults. Under the scouring of running water, they are very old. Water pours down along the fault plane, leading to the formation of waterfalls, which constantly impact the surface under the waterfalls. Surface water flows and pours down cliffs and canyons with different topography, forming many spectacular waterfalls. Taoist crown:
Taoist crowns are pictographic rocks. The rock is about 80 meters long, 40 meters wide, 250 meters in circumference, with an area of 3,200 square meters and a relative height of 50 meters. North-south trend, wide at both ends of the north and south, narrow in the middle. The lower part around it is a cliff, and the upper part protrudes slightly outward, which is 165 degrees from the vertical direction, like the brim of a Taoist crown. The top of the rock is relatively flat and slightly arched, like the crown of Taoism. Rocks are surrounded by rocks, and there are scattered miscellaneous trees at the top. The vegetation is good, and it looks like a Taoist crown from a distance. On the east side of Daoguan, the beads fell from the top of the mountain, which was spectacular. It sounds like a melodious musical ensemble. The road is crowned to the north, and there is a trumpet-shaped holy water cave facing south. There is a holy pool at the bottom of the cave, about 15 square meters, and the depth is about 2 meters. It is called holy water. The road is crowned with the east, and there are Tianshui Temple and Taoist Temple.
Daoguan is rhyolite, which was formed by immersion water erosion and weathering after Mesozoic crustal uplift and exposure.
The Taoist crown is surrounded by mountains, winding continuously, with mysterious giant Buddha and double bamboo shoots in the east, Prince Ding and Prince Ding in the south, Niubi Cave and double bamboo shoots in the west, Tiantou Cave and Yaozhen Cave in the north.
Prince scenery:
Prince Shengjing is located in Shimen Cave, a provincial-level scenic spot, which is the second scenic spot in Shimen Cave. It is a low mountain with an average elevation of 700 meters, and its lithology is rhyolitic volcanic tuff. It starts from the end of Lishan Mountain in the east, reaches the back mountain of Northeast Village in the south, reaches Shimen Highway in the east and Hou Ji Village in the north, covering an area of about 1 km2, showing a north-south trend. The depth of the tourist area is 2000 meters, the elevation of Taoist peak is 809.2 meters, the cutting depth of the valley is about 500 meters, and the slope of the mountain is between 50 and 90 degrees. There are 26 main landscapes, including Prince's Peak, Taoist Temple Crown and Toutian Cave. Daoguan, located on the south side of Taizi Peak, at the top of the mountain, is towering with huge stones, more than 800 meters above sea level, which looks like Daoguan from a distance. Prince's Peak, located on the north side of Daoguan, is a peak with an area of 2,000 square meters. It is as flat as a knife, surrounded by cliffs and looks like a bear from a distance. According to legend, Liu Ji, a Buddhist in Ming Dynasty, lived here in seclusion. Prince Zhu came to the mountain to visit his teacher Liu Ji. Later generations called this mountain Prince Mountain and the top of it Prince Ding. There is a cave in the mountain, which is located on the cliff on the east side of Taoist crown. Caves are formed by vertical fracture and fault subsidence of rock strata. The top of the main cave is more than 20 meters wide and the bottom is very narrow. The Shimen Cave in Qingtian is 3-47m, and the bottom is 0.3-1.5m.. The wonder of caves is that horizontal holes and vertical holes are connected in a string. There is a hole in the hole and a hole outside the hole. Lishanwei Waterfall, located near Lishanwei forest area, is about10m wide with a drop of about 30m. There are farmhouses and ancient trees next to them, which are very rustic. Shui Sheng Cave, located at the foot of the mountain on the north side of Taoist Temple, was formed by the collapse of the cliff after long-term water erosion. There is a pool in the cave, about 4 square meters. The trickle from the inner wall and ceiling of Shui Sheng Cave flows into the pool, which is called holy water, which is inexhaustible all the year round. The two boys in the South China Sea are located on the north side of Prince Peak. The two peaks rise from the ground, about 100 meters high and about 3 meters in diameter. When I was in Yun Qi, it was like Guanyin. The scenery of Prince Edward Island is characterized by rolling mountains, continuous winding, dense forests, over 90% forest coverage, high average altitude, fresh air, abundant sunshine, clean and sweet water sources and excellent ecology. It is a good place for mountaineering, fitness, exploration and curiosity, especially for enjoying the misty scenery in the mountains. It is really a rare "fairy" scene.
Shimen Waterfall, the first scenic spot in Shimen Cave, is in the north and east of Prince Edward Scenic Area, and Shigu Lake Caohai, the third scenic spot, is in the south and west.
Shimendong cliff:
