Sure,
beauty does not only mean outward appearance but also the inside. Dinghu
Mountain holds all the advantages of the other famous mountains and rivers
together. It owns the elegance and sheer slopes of Huashan Mountain, the
grandeur and splendor of Taishan Mountain, the exotic trees and rare grasses
of the Yellow Mountain, the sudden appearance of the Yellow Fruiter Waterfall
and the centuries-old history of the Qingyun Temple, and more.
There
are countless very impressive Scenic Spot. It must be pointed out that
the water in Dinghu mountain is very beautiful.

Because
the mountain sides were so steep, as the brooks tumbled down from the
cliffs, they formed a waterfall. At the bottom, naturally formed pools,
deep and serene, looked like dark jade with their deep blue water.
Among
all the waterfalls, the biggest and most vigorous one is the Flying Waterfall.
A sheet of water, about 30 meters, flies down from the mountain and the
whole valley is showered with small water drops and it is really refreshing.
The pool below the waterfall is about 20 square meters, and the water
is glittering and translucent - so clear that you could see the sand and
stones at the bottom. This
is certainly the best place for taking photographs.

Climbing
upwards from Flying Waterfall, there is the Dinghu (meaning 'tripod caldron
lake') Scenic Spot. It was once named Top Lake, which means 'the lake
is on the top of the mountain'. The three peaks around the top of the
lake are just like a caldron on a tripod so that's how it got the name
Dinghu. Seen from the banks, the whole of Dinghu is like a piece of jade
or an emerald lying glittering in the valley. There's a detached island
in the center of the lake, like a blemish on the jade. On the island there
is a Vowing Temple . You can only reach the island by boat and that will
cost you 20 yuan, which includes the entry ticket to the Scenic Spot Adventure
park.
