The slope is about 45 degrees, more than 300 meters high, about 2000 meters wide, magnificent, and the waterfall flows down from a distance. Datuo Stone Waterfall is developed in the contact zone between the rock mass and the surrounding rock, and the slope of the stone wall is controlled by the contact surface.

How many kids like me first knew Longhui because of the song "Good Morning Longhui" hhh Even the tour guide said that if it weren't for the World Cup, no one would come to Shankara. But if I asked if it was worth it, I think it was definitely worth it! 1. The mountain is really big! And a long section of the mountain road is winding and winding. Be prepared if you drive. If you are not very capable, I still recommend you to join a tour group. A few days before we went there, there was a rainstorm and landslide, which closed the road. We were in a hurry and finally took a more mountainous road. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is driving on a cliff. 2. Food and accommodation: We stayed at the Jinyaohua Hotel that night. (The hotel is very new and it is the most comfortable one in a few days) As for food, it's called Aji-no-mine or something (not sure if it's this name). The decoration is the most gorgeous there and it was recommended by the tour guide. The average price is about 30 yuan per person. The portion is large and the taste is average. It is a bit oily for Cantonese people. Because the tourism industry here is just starting, this is indeed the only decent restaurant. 3 Attractions:! I strongly recommend you go there in the morning (not far from the hotel). Since the tourism industry is just starting here, there are really few tourists. It's very cool in the morning. There's a little sunshine. There are local women in ethnic costumes working in the fields. Listening to the birds singing and the flowers blooming, it's like a fairyland. Everything is very comfortable and healing. The place is not big. If you don't take photos, one or two hours of walking is enough. There is also an ancient forest park next to it, which is full of thousand-year-old trees, but I didn't climb it. Friends who have enough time can also visit it. 4 Overall feeling: Longhui is indeed just starting out, so many services or industries may not be so perfect. At the same time, there is no commercialization of the scenic spot. The simple folk customs can really heal everyone who goes there

This is a place with snow-capped mountains🏔️, green lakes, waterfalls, and terraced fields. It is also a minority ethnic group settlement - Longhui County Xupu Huxing Mountain - Huayao Scenic Area.

Address: Huayao Ancient Village, Longhui County, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province Transportation: It is recommended to travel by car🚗~ 🌟Recommended Attractions Chongmu Ancient Forest - Datou Stone Waterfall - Wangxi Waterfall Group - Wanguanchong Terraced Fields - Huayao Ancient Village 📍Chongmu Ancient Forest There are 325 ancient trees in the Chongmu Ancient Forest, the oldest of which is over 1,000 years old. The Huayao people believe that trees absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and thus have a special reverence and devotion to them. There is a saying, 'Cutting a tree is like cutting a person.' It is also because of the trees that the Huayao people broke the custom of not intermarrying with the Han people. 📍Datou Stone Waterfall This is a unique glacial geological wonder in the country. A whole rock stands upright, spanning the valley, hundreds of feet high and over eight hundred feet wide. The waterfall cascades down from it at a 60-degree angle like the Milky Way.

Long time no see! As soon as I stepped on this mountain, the memory is still fresh, as if I have never left, every place is still the old look but also building a new look, people are the old look but added a lot of new faces, the preparation room is still those tables and chairs, but the master has changed several times. The corridor I have walked countless times, the podium I have stood countless times, the classroom full of memories of Class 98 is now the breath of new people. My class leader Xiao Wang and quiet Xiao Chen brought a big watermelon to see me, talking about their current situation, thank them for loving me and missing me, the most touching thing for a teacher is the students' unforgettable, the most gratifying thing is that one by one has grown into a big tree as I wished. How can I not miss it? Even the sad, difficult, angry, unwilling, disappointed.... are unforgettable. I seem to have returned to a 'home', or broke into someone else's 'home', in short, nostalgic people are more likely to add sadness, but I am fine, not often see each other safe and sound, stride forward! Towards the life you want, live for yourself
