Yunbao Gou is located in Half Tofu Mountain on the border between Yanqing County and Chicheng County in Hebei Province, about 16 kilometers southwest of Yanqing Town, 6 kilometers east of the famous Longqing Gorge Scenic Area, close to Xianglong Road. Ditch streams and waterfalls are numerous, so the name "cloud waterfall ditch".
There are three springs and five waterfalls in the valley (the three springs are Tea Cascade Springs, Shu Jing Springs and Wang Ling Springs; see the waterfalls (Yun Qing Waterfall, Yun Fei Waterfall, Qu Yun Waterfall and Yi Yun Waterfall), and the streams are crystal clear and the sound shape is attractive.
Walking through Yunbogou with the hidden springs, you can reach the ancient stone cliffs called Buddha Bay. Along the way, there are many wonderful ancient inscriptions of cliff line carvings and textual descriptions of Buddha statues from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.
A few winters ago, I went to Yunbao Gou to see the icefall. 919 bus to Yanqing Nan Caiyuan, and then I rented a local bread to the scenic turnoff. At that time there was no entrance fee. Last year the artificial icefall opened and started charging admission.
The Cloud Leopard Gully scenic spot covers an area of more than 4,000 acres and is a rare primitive natural landscape in northern China. The scenery changes with the seasons: spring, mountain flowers bloom, colorful; summer, clouds are covered by green leaves, streams crisp, sweet spring water; autumn, the sky high clouds, meadows vast; winter, silver, ice carved jade. Cloud Leopard Gully Canyon is also known as "Old Phoenix Gully" by the locals because of its cool summer winds.
There are many streams in the canyon, three stacks of nine curves, appeared and stopped, if any, just Wei "in the mountains," the mood: "White stone out of the western part of the capital, the red leaves of the cold and rarely seen. Mountain road without rain, people's clothes green wet." Within the stone ridge peculiar, claiming to be a scene: crocodile peak, rock ridge, Ganoderma lucidum stone, lion king face, giant tortoise, colorful stone and the unique "North Tianzhu" boulder in the valley far visible. Other rocks in the valley are strange and lifelike.
