Dawu Shibatan is a national 4A scenic spot, which naturally has its reasons. The whole scenic spot is beautiful and romantic, and it is a very lively scenic spot. It not only has the characteristics of "long peaks and beautiful valleys", but also has profound historical and cultural connotations. Secondly, in addition to some beautiful scenery, there are also some entertainment projects here, such as wildlife sightseeing, circus performances, and 9D glass bridges and glass slides.
Dawu Shibatan is the core part of Wufeng Mountain Eco-tourism Zone, located in the west of Lisan Town, Dawu County, Hubei Province, bordering Xinyang City, Henan Province in the north, Guangshui City, Hubei Province in the west, and facing Jigong Mountain, one of the four summer resorts.
Shibatan Scenic Area is called Shibatan because there are 18 pools and waterfalls in the whole scenic area, so it is called "Shibatan". When tourists come here, they all lament the magic of nature. With abundant rainfall and suitable climate, the canyon is a rare natural oxygen bar and leisure resort.
The Historical Evolution of Dawu Shibatan
According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went down to the south of the Yangtze River and passed through Jiuliguan at the junction of Hubei and Henan, he ate steamed rice in Sanlicheng and marveled at "good rice, good rice." He was given six big characters "Three Mile City in Millennium". Sanlicheng is located in the Jianghuai watershed, with abundant rainfall, suitable climate and fertile land, which is rich in rice and tea.
The forest coverage rate is 96%, and the content of negative oxygen ions is as high as10.6 million/cm3. Men living in natural oxygen bars are vigorous and burly, and women are like hibiscus. As a result, "Three Mile City produces beautiful women" has spread to this day.
Li San is not only a beautiful city but also a hidden beauty. From Sanlicheng to the west, follow Xiaojiahe all the way to Wufeng Mountain, and then enter Shibatan Scenic Area in Dawu County. According to Comrade Xia Liangjia, who is known as the "map of Li Sanhuo", there are "Wufeng Mountain and Seven Waterfalls of Baima Lake" in Shibatan. The lion elephant guards the head door and bolts 72 times. It means turbulence and twists and turns, and there is a scene of "mountains and heavy waters, no road to doubt, and a bright future."
