If the experience on 1.May in jianianhua meant a carnival to me, the travelling on 5. May to Fuping Natural Bridge National Geopark was a wonderland I landed on. Four families in my husband's department yesterday went to Natural Bridge in fuping, my family was one of them. We joined one travel agency named Bowen, it took us four hours to get to the destination.
Honestly speaking, I didn't expect the travel so much but an another chance to climb the mountain, so that I could lose some little weight, the thought was gradually eliminated along the way we ascended upward the mountain. After several small waterfalls babbled over the rocks and pebbles, there came one after another bigger waterfall in secession, with musical sound reverberating as if it was narrating the story of its beautiful history.
The most imposing one is Yaotai waterfall, upon the eyesight, there was a high cliff, with geographical textures, in the middle of the wall of the cliff, there was the waterfall,the drop of it is 112.5 meters
with clear and melodious sound accompanying, we went on our climbing, upward we saw some ices, it was incredible, for the temperature was about 30 degrees,where the place was higher the temperature was lower, and it was not easily be shone by the sun, so the water freezed, formed an ice slope by the waterfall, many visitors climbed on the frozen waterfall to take the snap. You would exclaimed to see there was one small opening with water flowing, and another slim opening, quite suitable as a stair for visitors to climb on, some ice in grotesque shape looked just like jade sculptures, which were extraordinary as if done by the spirits.
The Mountain is 2,144.5 meters above sea level. High mountain, grotesque peak, trees and green grasses make the scenery very gorgeous and make the place quite outstanding. the groups of waterfalls are the largest waterfalls in northern China , Tiansheng Bridge is China's largest natural bridge, or Stone Bridge, a formation of metamorphose rocks. This is the first discovery of such a bridge in China. Above the bridge is a 60-meter waterfall and below the bridge is a 112-meter waterfall. The whole group of waterfalls is concentrated in a mountain valley. They range from dozens of meters to 100 meters. The valley with 9 falls presented a magnificent view for visitors.
On the way downhill, we sat on the cable car, so that we could have a rest and enjoy the view from above, which gave me a panoramic scene. the beauty of the nature, together with the feeling of sitting cable car, made me really feel thrilled. It was a worthy travelling in the seven-days vocation .
