We visited Yandang Mountain after breakfast.
Yandang Mountain is located in Leqing City of Zhejiang.
It is famous and has the names of "The Famous Mountain above the Sea",
"The Excellent Scenery of the World" and "The First Mountain of the
North-East".
There were eight major scenic spots. Amongst them, the three most
excellent spots are LingFeng, Lingyan and Dalongqiu.
Jiandaofeng (The Scissors Peak) is wonderful. When we look at it at the
different angles, we will see different views. Hence, it has various names for
this mountain.

The waterfall, huge rock and clear pond are famous in the Dalongqiu (Big Dragon Waterfall) spot.
Xu Xiake (1587-1641) was a famous traveler of the Ming Dynasty.
He visited Yandang Mountain three times to make investigations and wrote two travel notes.
He described Yandang Mountain as "spiral and overlapped peaks, fantastic in shape,
the real wonder in the world."
Dalongqiu, the Big Dragon Waterfall, its peak rises up the ground and water drops from the sky.
The view looks like a dragon drinking water from the valley.
Dropping from 197 meters, the waterfall is considered to be one of the
Four Famous Waterfalls of China.
There is a reservoir on top of the Dalongqiu.
It is overflow and forms the waterfall.
The view will look different according to the season, the wind and
the weather.
