Shucheng County is located in anhui province, known as the "back garden of the provincial city", the north is the plain of the Yima Pingchuan River, and the south is a mountainous area with green peaks. Shucheng County tourism has two "business cards": one is the 5A-class scenic spot Wanfo Lake, which tourists called the Longhekou Reservoir more than 20 years ago, which is one of the five large reservoirs of the Shuishihang Water Conservancy Project; and the other is the 4A-level scenic spot Wanfoshan, like a giant emerald embedded in the mountains and mountains of Xiaotian Town. I have visited Wanfoshan three times, and in my impression, Longshu Wanfoshan can be called "Huangshan in Anhui".
"When the Five Mountains return, they don't look at the mountains, and when the Yellow Mountains return, they don't look at the Mountains." Huangshan has a sea of clouds, waterfalls, strange pines, and strange stones, which can be seen in WanfoShan. There are hot springs in Huangshan, and although there are no hot springs in Wanfo Mountain, Tangchi Town, which is not more than 100 miles away, is a well-known "hot spring town". It can be said that Wanfoshan is like a miniature version of Huangshan. The first visit to Wanfoshan was in 1997, when Wanfoshan was sometimes called Wanfoshan Forest Park.
Because it was opened to visitors shortly after its completion, there were fewer tourists, the attraction facilities were also simple, the railings of the crucian carp background point were welded with tap water and iron pipes, and there were no climbing stone steps, but a row of stone pits were dug on the boulders. Tourists climbing on both sides of the cliff is the crucian back of the cliff, you must hold the railing with your hands, put your feet forward and backward into the stone pit, and use all your strength to climb over the crucian carp back. On a weekend in mid-May of that year, my lover's unit organized a tour of WanfoShan, and I signed up to participate. The minibus departed from Lu'an, limaotanchang, passed through Wuxian, and arrived at Wanfoshan Forest Park. At the time of departure, the sky was raining lightly, the asphalt road was clean as a wash, and the leaves were like wax, shining green and verdant. Take a deep breath of the fresh air outside the window and feel refreshed.
When we are about to arrive at Wanfoshan Forest Park, the sky is beautiful and the sun is shining. The minibus entered the gate of the park administration office and continued to move forward, and a group of 15 of us got off the oak slope. Crossing the Flying Dragon Bridge, according to the mountain, the large and small dragon ponds in the mountain stream are staggered, which is the Flying Dragon Pond Scenic Area. Through the crystal clear water, you can occasionally see two or three baby fish snuggling up to each other, not moving next to the boulders under the water. The peak loop turns, there is a loud noise in the distance, look closely, the road sign indicates: Xu Daping Waterfall. The waterfall hangs upside down, falling from a cliff about 60 meters high, being torn into several strands of size by the cliff, jumping and roaring, and the flying beads splash jade into the deep pool, rushing up the layers of waves.
