The Mizu Valley boasts a unique terrain, crisscrossed with ravines, intertwined valleys, and interlinked valleys. From the deep end, the sky appears as a single line, while from the shallow end, the mountains resemble layers upon layers of peaks. The rocks are a myriad of forms, both visual and spiritual. Some resemble crocodiles exploring the path, others like wolves blocking the way, and still others, stacked layer upon layer, resemble the pages of a heavenly book. The gray-brown rocks, riddled with holes and rugged, exude an ancient charm. The trees growing on the rocks are even more distinctive. Though weathered and less upright, their twisted forms withstand the elements, their unyielding growth demonstrates a tenacious vitality.
The Langxiang Migu Valley, home to a thousand-year-old stone temple built during the Han Dynasty, features a natural karst cave known as the "Zen Cave," offering a diverse array of landscapes. Cliffside carvings dating back to the Tang Dynasty, featuring diverse calligraphic styles, also authentically document the love of generations of scholars for Zen cave temples.
The Jiangbei area has a subhumid monsoon climate in the northern subtropical zone; the terrain in the maze valley is unique, with gullies crisscrossing, open valleys and hidden streams, and gullies connected to each other, making it suitable for travel in all seasons.
