Checked in at Dakou Forest Park

Dakou is located at the southern foot of Dahong Mountain, where the mountains are steep, the forests are dense, the ancient paths are secluded, the springs are connected to the sky streams, the caves are linked with waterfalls, and the average altitude is around 350 meters. Here, there is no severe cold in winter and no extreme heat in summer, the climate is pleasant, and throughout the year, it exudes a charming atmosphere of 'casual spring fragrance ceases, where the noble can stay at will.' The whole body and mind are immersed in this natural oxygen bar, 'where the gusts stir the pine waves, and the flowers send forth their fragrance,' and the rolling green waves cleanse the long-agitated heart, making one feel refreshed and indescribably wonderful. It is a perfect paradise for people to cultivate their minds and bodies, heal and return to nature. The caves in Dakou are not many, but Yingzi Cave can give you a sense of the magic of the Water Curtain Cave in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. The waterfall, 6 meters wide with a drop of 36 meters, hangs like a silver curtain. On the side wall of the waterfall, there are hundreds of caves of various sizes, resembling a honeycomb, and the caves are interconnected, leading to the inside of the waterfall. Entering them, with twists and turns, is like a maze. Whether viewing the caves from behind the waterfall or viewing the waterfall from behind the caves, both are interestingly complementary. Especially in the summer afternoon, when the setting sun slants and shines above the mist of the waterfall stream, a rare 'rainbow reflection in the pool' appears, which is considered a spectacle. Yuntai Temple is located in the primitive forest of Dakou in Zhongxiang City. It is above the main peak of Liaoqu Mountain, with an altitude of 565.4 meters. Yuntai Temple was founded in the Tang Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty, with 48 pavilions built and connected by plank roads. Palaces, temples, monasteries, and hermitages are quietly nestled among the pine waves. Birds and beasts come and go among them, forming a harmonious whole, a sight too beautiful for words. Climbing to the top to watch the sunrise in the east, the clouds are steaming and the sky is colorful; looking west at the Han River, the river flows like a silver belt, with hundreds of boats competing. The ruins still have stone walls over a meter high, and dozens of stone steles, from which one can clearly see the records of the Wudang Mountain officials meeting for Taoism and the Chief Eunuch of Xianling paying homage. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng attained immortality here and founded Chinese Taoism on his own, making Yuntai Temple known as the first temple of Taoism in China.
