Remember nostalgia, retain feelings, practice the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, witness new changes in the countryside. Recently, Shiyan Smart Cultural Tourism launched a series of articles on 'A-level scenic spots as rural revitalization demonstration villages', searching for beautiful rural scenery, cuisine, and lodging across Shiyan, taking you into beautiful villages as scenic as resorts, allowing you to experience and explore more ways to enjoy the countryside, and peacefully savor a slow pastoral life. In this issue, the editor takes you to explore Huanghuagou Village, Eping Township, Zhuxi County. Follow me closely, let's set off together~

Appreciate the beautiful scenery, pick a basket of green leaves

Sip a cup of tea, enjoy a moment of tranquility

It is a summer resort and a national forest village

It is the earthly Love Valley, the intoxicating Huanghuagou

Huanghuagou Village is located in Shanggaoqiao Village, Eping Township, Zhuxi County, 10 kilometers from the township government and 25 kilometers from the county seat. Within its territory, peaks are beautiful and valleys are secluded, with charming scenery: babbling streams, cliff waterfalls, strange peaks and unusual rocks, as well as lush bamboo forests and trees full of flowers. The average annual temperature here is 25°C, with high oxygen content in the air, making it a rare resort for summer escape, leisure, and health preservation.

Hidden in Huanghuagou is a little-known mountain stream valley, with steep cliffs, ancient towering trees, and the locals call it 'Little Jiuzhaigou'.

In Huanghuaxi, the stream ripples. You can take a kayak and go upstream. On the bank is the Golden Toad Stone, which brings wealth and good fortune. At the small square, two peaks stand thousands of meters high, tightly locking the Huanghuagou Grand Canyon. On the Huanghua Stone, there is a pavilion with wings seemingly ready to fly. The entire scenic area is open and majestic, completely different from the canyon scenery.

Besides feasting your eyes on the beautiful scenery, you can also walk on the glass walkway and experience thrills in the jungle; or take a bamboo raft downstream on the stream and enjoy carefree pleasure.

There are many beautiful legends about Huanghuagou. Every scenic spot is endowed with the meaning of love, making Huanghuagou full of romance, and it is also praised by locals as the earthly 'Valley of Love'.

Approaching the village entrance, the dignified and beautiful Huanghua Fairy

Gracefully stands amidst the encircling mountains.

'Born from the filial piety landscape, a fairy maiden grows up.

At times, a worldly thought stirs her heart, she gives up being an immortal and goes to Eping.'

It is said that the name Huanghuagou originates from this touching legend.

'The flower was originally a mortal girl, unknowingly led astray by Xuanwu.

She resolutely leaps into the blue sky, fearlessly sprinkling down to gather heavy clouds.'

Here is the Daughter Waterfall rushing down,

Like a silver ribbon cutting through the sky,

with magnificent momentum and spectacular view.

Here is Butterfly Valley with gurgling springs,

And the Longing Bridge symbolizing love.
