  13. Drivie from Yichang, along No.325 Hubei Provincial Highway, you’ll get to Chaibuxi after 3 hours. At the foot of Dawankou, there lie a lot of Tujia holiday villages . If you want to appreciate the wonderful scenery of Chaibuxi, experience the Tujia custom,and taste the corn wine, let’s begin from here.Chaibuxi is a typical grand canyon, which has an area of 60 square kilometers. It stretches from the east to the west about 30 kilometers long and it is 1 to 3 kilometers wide. In 1996, it was ratified as one of the China National Forest Parks.

  14. Due to the endless geological movements, the mountains here took all kinds of strange shapes delighting tourist from home and abroad. Local people describe it as “Miles of deep gorge of Chaibuxi, thousands of strange peaks the land of paradise ”. The Park includes four scenery areas: Tanzikou, Dawankou, Jiaokou and Duanshankou, together with a Neikou Bio-Reserve. You can visit about 120 spots through 3 main tour routes and enjoy many beautiful legends from local people.

The wonderland is famous for its primitive, steep, magic and delicate scenery.The most attractive one is the stone forest. The rocks stand in great numbers, some like little boys, some like lovely ladies, some like animals, all of which are in different poses and expressions, some jumping, some sitting, some gathering, some scattering. It’s a real enchanting view.

  16. So the local people named them beautifully, such as “ the fairy boy presents flowers ”, “ General’s Rock”, “ Heaven sword ”, “Guanyin sitting on the lotus ”, “Lovers Dating ” and so on. But the most distinctive one is the Magic Pen Peak in Dawankou. It looks like a giant brush pen standing there for thousands of years. Rambling among these mountains, the sheer peaks will give you an infinite visual imagines.

  17. The second unique ones are the dangerous cliffs and bluffs. There are five steepest cliffs whose stone steps are highly hanging. Because the road to the top of Tizikou cliff is too straight and perilous, it’s called “ the ladder up to the sky ”. When you walk through the extremely narrow road, don’t look down to the foot, otherwise, you’ll be scared not to go ahead by the deep abyss under your feet.

  18. The third wonderful one is the wild ancient valley. Entering Dujiabao at the foot of valley, you’ll be fascinated by its primitive, natural and idyllic beauty. Watching the small bridges, ancient Tujia houses, flowing waters, old trees and flowers, listening to the birds singing, the endless relax and happiness will make you forget everything outside.

  19. The virgin forest is the fourth wonder.

  30. The Guchaoyin Cave Passage 2

  31. The Guchaoyin Scenic Spot is situated in the Niejiahe Town of Yidu, which consists of the Guchaoyin Cave, the rafting in the Yuyang River, the villages for holidays ect. The Guchaoyin Cave is the main spot, which is also called Xiejia Cave. It is said that the army of Lizicheng,who was the leader of the Peasants Revolting Army in the late Ming Dynasty,

  32. were beaten in a fight against the government army, so they had to move to the southwest. When they passed the Niejiahe Town, the local nobles force, of which Xiejiaying was the head ,had a fight with the Peasants Army. But after several go-arounds, the Xiejiaying army weredefeated and ran away to the Guchaoyin Cave which was easy to defend, but hard to offend. The Peasants Army ran after to the Mt. Kuang, seeing a cave in the cliff, they found the cave was the one that “if one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through”. It was so difficult to attack that they gave up and withdrew the droops, leaving for the southwest.

  33. About 200 years later, in 1883, in order to recall the forefather’s ruins, the ninth generation of Xiejiaying, Xiehouzhi looked for and visited the cave with his friends. Seeing the cave, they were deeply moved, so they wrote some words and odes, andlet stonemen carve them on the walls of the cave. They were well-preserved, so now you can still watch the vestige clearly.

  34. The Guchaoyin Cave is a big calcareous water-eroded cave which is about 530 million years old.Divided into two parts, the cave stacks up one after another, links one by one, and connects with each other. No one knows its deepth. In the upper cave, there is a giant pillar about 29 meters high and 37.8 meters around, which is the biggest one in China national caves. On the walls in the cave, all shapes of stalactites are hanging. Some look as if they were mountains and waters, some seem to be decorated with exotic flowers, some appear as if they were umbrellas,

  35. some are like beautiful ladies, some are like lovely animals; They look ever changing and colorful by the blaze of shining lights. It’s a real feast for the eyes. Apart from the stalactites, the cave also boasts the other four attractive sights. The first one is the rare glass fish. This kind of fish is pink, small, exquisite and transparent as glass. According to the analyse of the experts, owing to living in the dark cave for long, and the mineral substances in the water, the fish get sparkling and crystal-clear.

  36. The second is that there are a lot of clouds and mists in the cave. Especially in summer and autumn, you will see them slowly wreathe outwards. It’s really a paradise.

  37. The third is the sound of the water like that of the tide. Because the waters of the two parts of the cave connects together, with a total drop of 50 meters, additionally, the current is rapid, the sound of the water in the cave like a crush of thunder or the tide’s rushing to the beach.

  38. The last is an iron ladder connecting the upper and lower parts. In the lower, you can travel by boat and go through the biggest underground steel corridor in the Three Gorges Region to enjoy the underground natural landscape paintings.In general, when you feel tired in the modern cities, please come here. The green waters, grand mountains, the magnetic idyllic sights and the friendly local people will give you a fresh experience, and let you relax and be happy.

  44. 事过200多年后，公元1883年（光绪9年），谢嘉应的第九世孙谢厚之为缅怀光祖遗迹，与好友寻访了此洞。他们找到该洞后，感慨万千，于是分别在洞内题字作赋，请匠人刻石壁上，现保存完好。 清晰可见。     据专家对该洞的地质考证，该洞为灰质白沙岩层结构，距今约5亿3千万年。上下旱水两洞，洞叠洞，洞连洞,洞洞相通,深不可测，距今尚无人能穷其源。上洞一擎天巨柱，高39米，围径37.8米，为中华第一巨柱，洞内厅壁上挂满钟乳石，千姿百态，似山水，似花卉，似华盖，似人形，似百兽，在现代灯光的照射下，五彩缤纷，千变万化，一步一景，换步变景。     古潮音洞更有她的奇特之处：

  45. 一奇洞中的透明鱼为世所罕见，这种鱼通身晶莹透明，体内五脏清晰可见，据专家分析，可能是由于长年生长洞中不见阳光，加上水中稀有矿物质所致。 二奇洞祥云缭绕，每逢夏秋季节，洞内雾气腾腾，从洞内向外飘出，人间奇景。 三奇洞内水声如潮，洞上下水流相通，因水势湍急，落差高达50米，故水声声势如雷；又如海潮，惊涛拍岸。 四奇洞上下洞联通有铁梯。从上洞，下水洞，穿越三峡地区最大的地下钢铁走廊，乘木舟游览地下画廊，看洞内三峡集锦。     当您精疲力尽而逃离都市之时，您会发现古潮音洞度假山寨这一块充电、加油的宝地，迎面而来的清澈的绿水和苍翠的群山，诱人的田园风光中敞开着典雅的古朴山寨，使您松弛身心，物我两忘，拥有青山、绿水、蓝天、白云，让您真正体会超值含义。 back

  46. Ordovician Park Passage 3

  47. The Ordovician Park, also called Ordovician Stone Forest, covers four small towns of Yidu: Wangjiafan, Panjiawan, Niejiahe and Wuyanquan. After violent geological movement for millions upon millions of years, several Ordovician stones now stand there quietly with many various ancient ocean creature fossils. These stones and fossils tell us the evolution of lives on earth during 500 million years. Drive from Lucheng of Yidu Town, you will spend about 2 hours getting to Wangjiafan, where the stone forest of Luzhuxi village was firstly discovered.

  48. Along a narrow path, from the foot of Mt. Jiangjun, after passing two farmers’ houses, you will enter the Stone Forest Spot. The stones standing on both sides are straight as pillars, which are like two teams of army waiting for the inspection. When you arrive at the flat roof of the top of the mountain and look around, you will see lines of stones in different shapes. Some of the stones fall and some rise just like armies and horses hiding in the jungle. There are many stone alleys crossing each other in the Stone Forest. Go through the alleys, you’ll feel as if you are entering a large maze, not knowing the directions.
