During the Han Dynasty, Sean (word ovary) practiced military forces day and night on the mountain peak on the west side of the valley, helping Liu Bang to achieve great things and then living in seclusion here, so it was named after Sean's word ovary.

The formation of Yuntai Mountain Yuntai Mountain was in a Wang Yang in Proterozoic. With the passage of the century and the change of the earth's crust, it gradually rises and rises to form a plain. During the orogeny more than one billion years ago (Ordovician and Sinian), the landform changed greatly. During the Yanshanian period, mountains rose in the north and plains fell in the south. Under the influence of Himalayan orogeny, the mountains rose sharply and rivers cut rapidly, forming a deep and steep canyon. Later, the surface and groundwater dissolved the rocks along the cracks, coupled with the influence of other weathering forces, forming today's rock shape. There is a red canyon in Yuntai Mountain-Wenpanyu Wenpanyu is located at the southern end of the ovary in Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. It is a stone gorge about 1 km long and three to twenty meters wide. The widest part of the canyon is only more than 20 meters, the narrowest part is less than 5 meters, and the valley is more than 80 meters deep. Among the numerous canyons in China, it is unique for its exquisite, beautiful, magical and magnificent landscape. It is a collection of springs, waterfalls, streams, ponds and streams in one valley, which is a combination of heroism, danger, strangeness, quietness and beauty. Wen Panyu scenic spot is low below the surface, and the cliffs and rocks on both sides seem to be carved with uncanny workmanship, and it is like the concentrated essence of famous mountains and rivers. From time to time, there are fountains and waterfalls hanging like beads between cliffs. The water is swift and the waterfalls sound like thunder. If the blue sky is clear, a rainbow will be reflected, and within the range of 1 km, "Xiaoyao Stone" and "Kissing Stone" will be enriched. Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain enjoys the reputation of "Bonsai Canyon" and is called "Natural Landscape Gallery" by landscape experts. Wen Panyu is a natural product. 654.38 billion years ago, during the Sinian period, the crust was still moving, and cracks were formed in the mountains, but there was Wenpanyu in Yuntai Mountain. Surrounded by mountains in the valley, there is a gentle slope, an inconspicuous crack, and Wen Panyu is under the crack. Perhaps 10 billion years ago, mountains and rivers washed here, met with underground caves, and flowing water sneaked into caves to continue washing, but there was Wen Panyu in Yuntai Mountain. Because under the surface, the air in the narrow and deep canyon can't communicate with the external climate normally, forming a unique microclimate in the canyon. In midsummer, the heat outside the valley is unstoppable, but it is autumn in the valley; In the middle of winter, it is snowy outside the valley, but the flowers in the valley are red and green, and the bryophytes grow thickly and are full of spring. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature is moderate, which seems to be in a continuous warmth, hence the name "Wen Panyu". The whole canyon, composed of Chibi, belongs to the rare Danxia landform canyon landscape in northern China, with reddish cliffs, so it is also commonly known as "Hongshi Gorge". Wenpanyu Canyon is also called "Jiulong Lake" and "Jiulong Canyon". There are Shoulongtan, Heilongtan, Qinglongtan, Huanglongtan, Wolongtan, Mianlongtan, Wake Longtan, Zilongtan and Youlongtan in the canyon. It is said that Wen Panyu in Yuntai Mountain was the habitat of Kowloon in ancient times. Nine Longtan, constitute a unique landscape in the canyon, green pool and red mountain, bright and gorgeous. Whether it is boating in the pool or walking to help the wall, it is mysterious and attractive everywhere. From Black Dragon Pool to quiet Austria, the green pool water reflects the scarlet mountains and reveals bright and bright colors. The Black Dragon Cave is 30 meters long and opaque, with a little light in front. Huanglongtan Gorge is more than 20 meters wide, the water is extremely blue, the shallow water is crystal clear, and there are a lot of ornamental stones in the water. Huanglong Waterfall, with a silvery white water curtain pouring down from the top of the valley, is unique and elegant. The sound of the waterfall is like a sudden rain, like a tear, and the waterfall and the spring water gush together. It is really like a huge and exquisite water sculpture and natural mural. Heilongjiang is long and narrow, and it is located in a deep stream with high mountains. Kissing stones are two red stones that jump out of the water. According to legend, they are the romantic incarnations of the dragon lady and the black and white dragon king. Kowloon Canyon, not just Kowloon. There is a narrow canyon at the southern end of the mouth of Wenpanyu Valley, which is called "the first sight". It is a waterfall more than 50 meters high and is called Bailong Waterfall. Chen Shuaifo, chairman of China Feng Shui Association, often recuperates here. According to legend, a white dragon lived here in ancient times. High cliffs stand on both sides here, forming a huge stone gate, which is the "local household" of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area called "Tianmen Dihu". "Tianmen" refers to Tianmen Valley and Tianmen Waterfall in Baijiayan. Bailong Waterfall flows into Bailongtan day and night, but the water does not grow or flow out. So where is the water in Bailong Waterfall? It turns out that there is a huge underground river under the pool, from which a lot of water flows, and its outlet is in the moon in Wuliyuan Township, Xiuwu County, our city. This is also recorded in Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics, saying that the Wenpanyu River: "The undercurrent returns in three miles." As one of the main scenic spots in Yuntai Mountain, Qinglong Gorge has the reputation of "the largest canyon in Yuntai Mountain". The graceful Wang Rong Waterfalls, the emerald concentric pools and the wonderful spring and autumn on the rocks constitute a magnificent three-dimensional landscape picture of Qinglong Gorge. Here, waterfalls and springs hang, the lakes are clear, the mountains and rivers are deep, and the plants understand. The spirituality of nature and the agility of life are vividly interpreted here, and the crazy heartbeat and pounding heartbeat are vividly displayed here. It can be called a good place for eco-tourism leisure and summer vacation.
