Its color resembles mud, flowing down like mud, very unique. 5- Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl: Naturally formed stones in the canyon stream look like huge pearls, splitting the stream into two, with a lifelike shape. 6- Fish Jumping Gorge: Water is squeezed between two gorges, with a winding plank road in the water. In spring and summer, you can witness the biological wonder of fish leaping upstream.
