Tianxingqiao Scenic Spot

Located about 6km downstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall, Tianxionqiao Scenic Area is consists of three main areas: Tianxing Cave, 'potted landscape' on water, and Stone Forest in Water. The scenic area is featured various grotesque limestone formations, caves, waterfalls, forest, lakes and 'Heavenly Star Bridge' (Tianxing Qiao): a slab of stone spanning and forming a bridge across a gorge. It is a mysterious and spectacular world, which offers visitors a pleasant hiking environment.

It stretches along the banks of the Sancha River and on the surface of its deep river covering an area of 0.19 sq. kilometers. There are a lot of natural rocks and landscapes made of water and stones in different sizes and shapes. A winding flagstone laid path passes through the cliffs, trenches, cracks, and along the curbing of the landscapes. Walking down the path, tourists can always enjoy beautiful sights in all directions.

Tianxing Cave
Tianxing Cave is situated in the middle of Tianxingqiao scenic area. It is a unique Karst cave, composed by several naturally formed chambers. This place is impressive, especially the four huge stelae rising from the floor to the ceiling, each one with a height over 20 meters. Calcium carbonate deposits create an abstract landscape of spectacular shapes about the cave. Besides, there are man-made sights in the cave which are also very attractive. It is dolled up with colored spotlights which add charm to the cave.

The Stone Forest in Water
Flowing about one kilometer from the waterfalls, the river reaches the Stone Forest in Water. The river completely surrounds the forest; it branches off at the stone forest, flows along its sides and joins again under it.. At this scenic spot, streams wind and twist dotted with rocks visible above the water. Its main sights include the Silver-chain Waterfalls, the Xingxia Flying Waterfalls, the Gathering Banyans, the Barrier of Root Wall, and the Painting of Matted Roots.
 
Tianxing 'Potted Landscape' on Water
The 'Potted Landscape' is located on a river called Sancha River and along its both sides. It is called 'Potted Landscape' because wind and water erosion has carved and shaped the Karst limestone here looking like potted plants in various shapes and sizes. Trees and plants growing on them make them more lifelike potted plants. Walking across the river on winding stone paths zigzagging through the rocky hills is very interesting. Everyone can find their birthday on the stone paths.
