Bingyu Valley Scenic Area
|
|
The Bingyu Valley Scenic Area, covering an
area of 110 square kilometers (27,182 acres), is located in northern
Zhuanghe City, 240 kilometers (149 miles) distant from
Dalian City.
This spectacular resort is renowned as 'Oriental Miniature
Switzerland'. It is also acclaimed as 'Little Guilin' which is
internationally known for its extraordinary landscapes. These vistas
present rugged cliffs, astonishing peaks, and clear rivers wending
their way through luxuriant virgin forests. This fascinating area,
full of ecological significance, truly deserves its reputation as
one of best-kept secrets of China.
The Bingyu Valley Scenic Area consists of the Longhua
Mountain, the Xiaoyu (small) Valley and the Yingna River. The
mountain gives visitors a sense of both loftiness and elegance,
imbuing the visitor with both boldness and tranquility. Amongst the
numerous scattered peaks you can discern many phantasms and figures,
such as a gnarling tiger, a tiercel spreading its wings, or a long
sharp sword.
The Yingna River, dances along the valley like a white
silk ribbon. It is very calm in some sections of the valley, later
becomes agitated, and even then changes into a picturesque lake. Its
tributaries, looking like threads, twist around small isolated
peaks. At the Shuanglong Dam, the scenery is suggestive of the
captivating scenery of Guilin and the Three Gorges which is a most
marvelous section of the Yangtze River. A lot of activities such as,
skating (winter only), boating and fishing can only be enjoyed here.
The green virgin forests of the mountain here are able
to eclipse the sky as this natural arboretum bewitches the onlooker.
There are thousands of plants that provide an oxygen-rich
environment. This is also a habitat for hundreds of animals, such
as: otters, roe deer, badgers, foxes, squirrels, and birds,
especially indigenous robins. As the Circle of Life completes, the
years unwind: the flowers bloom in spring; it offers a cooler place
in summer; during autumn the gorgeous mountain is covered with red
leaves; in winter the mountain suddenly changes into crystalline
icebergs.
