National Forest Park one of the AAAA scenic areas in China is 70 kilometers southeast of Benxi City It covers 3517 acres 95 percent of which is forest where unique trees grow and ancient trees are many Plantation within the park is well preserved and the scenery here is even more beautiful because of Guanmen Reservoir as well as fantastic steep peaks that have ever green pine trees growing on them It is a very good place for sight seeing for holidays and for escape from hot summers One of the many poems about Guanmen Mountain reads Winding above the cloud is Guanmen Mountain Where on cold odd cliffs grow mighty pine trees Out of thin mist a thousand peaks rise There on earth appears another paradise Something particularly special about Guanmen Mountain is the red maple tree leaves in autumn when the place is swamped with tourists who scramble here and there They desire to have a close look at the red leaves so as to not only see them with eyes but also feel them by hand and by heart In recent years Maple Tree Leave Festival is held every autumn in Benxi and thousands of tourists are attracted There are hotels by Guanmen Reservoir that provide quality service You can feel at home the moment you step in Big Stone Lake Dashihu By Jiangyujuan The Big Stone Lake one of the sources of Taizi River Prince River lies in a deep valley 2 5 kilometers southwest of Lanheyu Manzhu Autonomous County of Benxi It is 50 kilometers away from Xiaoshi the capital of the county The lake is given its name because the valley features big stones and steep cliffs Its prime attraction is a chain of waterfalls called Wuhusipu Five Lakes and Four Waterfalls one waterfall following another and pouring into five ponds of different sizes The first lake or pond as it is also called is named Tianchi Lake Tianchi means Lake of Heaven It is around 180 square meters in area A river runs out of the mountains and falls sharply down 4 to 5 meters forming the first waterfall casting about cool water drops and roaring like thunders The pond below is in dark color for its great depth As it is the first and also the highest of the five sister lakes it is called Tianchi Lake Having fallen its first fall and filled Tianchi Lake the river goes on to fall another 2 or 3 meters into another pond bringing into existence the second waterfall and the second lake In the same way the rest waterfalls and lakes are created Turning around at the first pond you can see all the other ponds The second pond is the most impressing not only because of the fast speed and dark color of its water but also because of its unknown depth It is said that there is a deep hole under the pond through which the water joins an underground river that finally runs into Yalu Rriver in Dandong The third lake is called Chenyetan the Pond where Leaves Sink because leaves do not float on it They sink instead Of course the water runs slower here than in the first pond In the cliff on the east side of the fourth lake there is a natural cave whose height allows a man to stand up in it But few people go there because one has to cross the ice cold river to do it and no bridge is around yet Running out of the fourth pond down sloping rocks the river becomes the fifth waterfall and falls into the last pond As the Big Stone Lake is between cliffs you can watch it either from above on a cliff or from below at the fifth pond The latter way will fill you with awe for the great beauty and power of nature while the former may do one other thing too it may fill you with fear fear of falling Certainly if you do not suffer from phobia the case is different The mountains surrounding the Big Stone Lake are very beautiful In spring flowers bloom and the lakes reflect a riot of colors In summer trees dye the water green When late autumn comes maple trees turn as red as fire so do the ponds In winter mountains are white and the lakes are frozen Seen from afar they look like ice dragons When ice melts in spring they turn into water dragons again The Big Stone Lake is fantastic Its surrounding mountains are high and are covered with dense ancient forests which are home to many kinds of wild birds and animals Once you ve come to the Big Stone Lake you will feel close to nature You will feel refreshed relaxed light hearted and high spirited You will find it hard to tear yourself away from it because it is a genuine wonderland Hot Sprig Valley By Jiangyujuan Hot Spring Valley scenic area is an AAAA national forest park It is in Chaohezhang Benxi County Just close by is another famous
