Baishuiyang is hailed as a ‘peculiar landscape’, ‘peerless scenery in the world, mystery of the universe’. It is currently the world’s ‘shoal square’. The riverbed is evenly distributed with water and is completely free of gravel. When people walk on it, the water only reaches the ankles. Under the sunlight, the water shimmers brightly, presenting a pure white glow, hence the name Baishuiyang. Between the middle and lower reaches, there is a nearly 100-meter-long natural slide. Sliding down naked does not harm the skin and is called a ‘natural surfing swimming pool’. Sunlight, white water, and water erosion wave marks form a colorful riverbed. People engage in unique water sports such as wading, surfing, racing, tug-of-war, martial arts, cycling, lion dancing, etc., fully enjoying the coolness bestowed by nature. Standing on the middle reach, looking at the opposite mountain peak, the beautiful peak located beside Baishuiyang is Wulaofeng. The small platform in front of it is called Chessboard Rock. Legend has it that in the past, five immortals were on Chessboard Rock, deep in thought in front of the chess game, forgetting the passage of time. They were so focused that they turned into Wulaofeng. The lower reach of Baishuiyang is as smooth as a mirror. It forms a sharp contrast with the noisy surfing area in the middle reach, giving people a sense of tranquility. The protruding rock in the center of the reach is connected to the riverbed. Its shape changes with different viewpoints. Looking from the upper left, it resembles a black gauze cap of the Ming Dynasty, so it is called ‘Shamao Rock’. The observation deck is built along the mountain and ascends according to the terrain, like a huge ship docking at the shore. As the name suggests, the observation deck is a platform for enjoying the beautiful scenery of Baishuiyang. Inside the observation deck, there are facilities such as a medical aid station, supermarket, leisure area, and locker and changing room. This relieves the burden on tourists. Standing on the observation deck and looking at the flat Baishuiyang, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, the huge shoal square is within full view. Green waves call whitecaps, and mountain winds carry the charm of water, making people feel relaxed and happy. Looking around, the Shuanglong Bridge on the upper reach spans across both banks, forming a beautiful picture that integrates green mountains, flowing water, and an ancient bridge.
