Yangma Ancient City
Yangma Ancient City is an ancient fortress site. To this day, the ruins of the front city, middle city, and rear city can still be seen. It is one of the representative attractions of Dangchang's ancient tourism. Walking into the ancient site of Dangchang, standing in front of the remnants of history, the withered mugwort grass year after year, and the Minjiang River (a tributary of the Minjiang and Bailong Rivers) flowing eastward, seem to tell us the vicissitudes of life and the changes over time.
Guan'e Sleeping Buddha
The Dayan Sleeping Buddha is a mountain landscape that can be clearly seen from the viewing platform when looking southeast. According to legend, he transformed into Buddha to preserve the scriptures in Guan'e Valley and protect the local people of Guan'e, thus he is highly revered in the area.
Ming Lake
Ming Lake is the largest lake in Guan'e Valley, consisting of two lakes, one long and one round. The two lakes are shaped like the 'sun' and the 'moon', hence the name 'Ming' Lake. It has now been developed into the Guan'e Valley Water Park, making it a popular destination for leisure and vacation.
Princess Lake
Princess Lake in Guan'e Valley is the most beautiful lake in the area. Why is it called Princess Lake? One reason is that the lake is extremely beautiful, showcasing the delicate and feminine beauty of nature. Another reason is the beautiful legend associated with it: In ancient times, the daughter of the Heavenly King loved the beautiful scenery of Guan'e and often came here to play. Later, she fell in love with a diligent and brave Qiang youth from the local area. When the Heavenly King found out, he sent people to capture the princess and bring her back to the heavens. However, the princess was deeply in love with the youth and did not want to leave. She transformed into a pool of clear water to stay in Guan'e forever. The youth also leaped into the water, pledging his life to her. In later generations, to commemorate the princess and the youth who pursued true love, the lake was named Princess Lake.
Five Waterfalls Gorge
Five Waterfalls Gorge is one of the most exquisite attractions in Guan'e Valley. Within the long and secluded gorge, five uniquely shaped waterfalls are densely distributed, making the gorge vibrant and colorful. Entering here feels like stepping into a legendary paradise. The Dragon Whisker Waterfall, the White Ribbon Waterfall, and the Guan'e Heavenly Waterfall are the representative waterfall landscapes in Guan'e Valley. At the entrance of Panlong Gorge, the Dragon Whisker Waterfall pours out from a cave halfway up the mountain. Panlong Gorge resembles a dragon's body, while the Dragon Whisker Waterfall hangs down like the whiskers of a dragon, creating a very unique structure. The White Ribbon Waterfall is located in the Twin Waterfalls Gorge, where a water curtain tens of meters high rushes straight down from the mountain top, pure white like water, resembling a long and wide hada (a ceremonial scarf), living up to its name. The Guan'e Heavenly Waterfall is the essence of Guan'e Valley. Without visiting the Guan'e Heavenly Waterfall, it is as if you haven't truly visited Guan'e Valley. Its magnificence and awe-inspiring presence cannot be described with words; only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly appreciate it.
