"Warm the steep cliffs lapped by the water of Jinsha, And the majestic Wumeng roll by, globules of clay." wrote Mao Zedong after trekking through the Wumeng Mountains during the Long March. The majestic Wumeng Mountain created many fine views.

On the Dahai Grassy Hill are many cattle and sheep. On the Geosuture in Yulu, thinkers are lost in thought in front of the cave, sleeping beauty lies with her face up, golden Buddhist hides in the cave.

As a masterpiece of the nature, Xiaocaoba Resort integrates primeval forests, streams, peaks, waterfalls, grotesque limestones, exotic plants, and religions as well as ethnic cultures of the Yi and Miao etc, impressing visitors with its magnificence, miraculousness, serenity and elegance.

The pigeon-like dove tree flowers fall on the Huanglian River.

The South Silk Route rambles across the Dousha ancient town into the distance.

There are all kinds of hot springs in the Jinshajiang Canyon. The work song on the river soothes the resting souls, just like a lullaby.
