Crouching Tiger and Flying
Falls伏虎飞瀑
This
is the origin of Shuanqing Stream. There is a block
of rock squatting down just like a crouching tiger.
The water pours out from the top of the peak and
forms the cascading falls. Green peaks are layered
by deep valleys and steep cliffs. In the Tang Dynasty,
Zhang Xiaobiao exclaimed the magnificent sight with
a poem "Tianmu Falls": Autumn river overflows
like the sky, the heaven besprinkles down ten thousands
long cloth-like falls, fathomless thunders conceal
in the cloud, the lonely lightening hangs on the
rocks and trees.
