|  Within its 25 square kilometers, there 
                      are many unique rock formations,such as Upside-down Boot, Lady Playing Piano, Dog Watching 
                      Sky, Man
 Walking on Stilt, and fantastic peaks; Archway Peak, Nine-dragon 
                      Peak,
 Double Bamboo Shoot Peak, Stone-bed Peak, Stone-pillar Peak 
                      and Pine
 Forest Peak, just to name a few. Lush pines abound in the 
                      area and the
 large historic ones have names. You become immersed in your 
                      surroundings
 and find yourselves in an amazing painting. Scenery keeps 
                      changing as
 you walk on steep steps usually clinging to precipices. 
                      Every step
 reveals a breath-taking view so you can just point your 
                      camera and take
 a perfect photo almost everywhere on the way. No wonder 
                      it's also called
 Magic Scenic Area.
  A 4.5 km downhill walk will take you deeper 
                      and deeper in the ravine,with cliffs and peaks becoming higher and higher, arriving 
                      at Fairy-
 walking Bridge. It's a real Grand Canyon! In front of you 
                      from the
 bridge, the 3 km long steps will lead you through the White 
                      Cloud Area
 to the Heavenly Sea Area. It's no doubt a difficult, yet 
                      rewarding trip
 with so many fantastic views.
  To complete this circular trip, you will 
                      climb up another 0.7 km to Bright Summit (1860m and second highest peak of the Yellow 
                      Mountain).
 Then continue down 1 km to a huge rock known as Flying-Over 
                      Rock, and
 finally 1.5 km further down will take you back to the Cloud-dispelling
 Pavilion.
  This spectacular circular route is a good 
                      option for the energetic physically fit tourist. A better option for those who are 
                      not used to
 strenuous activity would be walking a small section of it 
                      rather than
 missing it altogether.
  This very secluded and fantastic scenic 
                      area known as the Grand Canyon of the West Sea is becoming more and more popular. It's 
                      a must see
 destination for tourists, even though being a newly opened 
                      area you may
 not find much other reference material in English.
