Main attraction
The main attractions of Baishishan are LAM Raymond, Remayuan and Shipu Canyon.
Needle karst
The whole mountain of Baishishan is a "double-layered structure", with white flint-banded marble formed 654.38+0 billion years ago in the upper part and flesh-red granite formed 654.38+0.4 billion years ago in the lower part. Granite becomes a pedestal, supporting the marble peak forest on the upper part.
Baishishan consists of more than 100 relatively independent peaks. The main peak is 2096 meters above sea level, the height of ghosts is 2057 meters, and the height of the sun observatory is 209 1 meter. Most of the peak walls are straight up and down, angular and steep as knives and axes. The gap between the mountain peak and the forest can reach 600 meters.
cloud and mist
"White Stone and Clear Clouds" is the first of the twelve scenic spots in Laiyuan.
Two-thirds of the weather in Baishishan is summer, which is determined by the special natural conditions of Baishishan. White clouds hover at the top of Baishishan Mountain. The sun shines, and the peaks in the sea of clouds are like sails and boats.
Jumayuan
Juma River source group includes Laishui source, Yishui source and Juma River source, which was formed after Yanshan movement about 654.38+0.4 billion years ago and is an ascending spring controlled by structural faults. Although the Ma Yuanquan Group covers an area of 6 square kilometers, the water temperature in Ma Yuanquan is basically different from the outside world, and the fog is transpiration. So Juma River is the longest ice-free river in northern China.
