Sanyintan (The Three Hidden Pools)

Xikou-Tengtou Tourist Area—Snow-Covered Bamboo Mountain San Yin Tan Mystery Exploration Tour On April 5, 2024, the sun was just right, the breeze was not dry, and I had a beautiful encounter with Xikou—Tengtou Tourist Area—Snow-Covered Bamboo Mountain San Yin Tan. Around 10 in the morning, we drove to the entrance of the scenic area, parked the car steadily in the parking lot, and then embarked on the journey to San Yin Tan. The bus fare was 30 yuan, including the whole journey, which was reasonably priced and saved us a lot of trouble. Upon arriving at San Yin Tan, we found that only the upper and middle pools were open, with the lower pool temporarily closed. Although it was a bit disappointing, the beauty of the upper and middle pools was enough to make up for this shortcoming. We walked along the mountain road, with waterfalls cascading and the sound of water babbling, like a symphony of nature. The waterfall was beautiful, but the water quality was slightly turbid, perhaps due to the recent rain wash. Despite the short distance, every step was filled with the joy of exploration. About an hour later, we reached the middle pool, and the scenery in front of us was intoxicating. The waterfall poured down from above, splashing water droplets and forming a mist. We stood by the pool, feeling the coolness of the water droplets, as if we were in a fairyland. Although we couldn't reach the lower pool, this trip to San Yin Tan was still very rewarding. The natural wonders left us in awe and made us cherish the beauty in front of us even more. If you also want to go on a spontaneous trip, why not come to Xikou—Tengtou Tourist Area—Snow-Covered Bamboo Mountain San Yin Tan. The beauty here will surely make you linger and leave unforgettable memories. Like + Follow, and I'll show you more attractions ❤️. Let's explore more of nature's mysteries together and feel the beauty of the world!

Not abroad, not in western Sichuan anymore. No matter what, just go for it and say it again: the brave are the first to enjoy the world! Here, not only did I witness the waterfalls in the misty rain of the south of the Yangtze River with their majestic presence, but the atmosphere was really full! There's also the moss that clings to the rocks, the vigorous vitality, it's truly awe-inspiring! Every photo is so beautiful it becomes wallpaper, just how much do you like taking pictures of greenery. Not abroad, not in western Sichuan, but right here in Ningbo. Hiking route: Ningbo Sanyintan, pristine, suitable after rain, few people and beautiful scenery Route: Nijiaqiao-Jiulongqiao-Sanyintan Distance: Round trip 6.7 kilometers | Elevation gain: 359m Time: 3-4H Apart from the first kilometer of dirt road, it's mostly scenic stone step trails, a gentle climb, overall easy and leisurely, but many places are under maintenance and construction, so you need to adapt on the fly~ Hiking gear: For hiking in the rainy season or going to check in at waterfalls, remember to wear a waterproof jacket! Trekking poles + hiking shoes are a non-slip perfect match, don't climb on rocks, they are very slippery. There are no supplies on the way, so bring enough water and food, and everyone remember to take your trash with you, leave no trace outdoors

The awe-inspiring 'Little Huangguoshu Waterfall' appears in the deep mountains of Ningbo during the rainy season. The photography is spectacular, and the writing is profound. Cloud Wanderer takes you to discover the beauty of the journey, niche, serene, a place you want to visit again after having been there. — Taking the road less traveled, I found an incredibly beautiful hiking trail and discovered Ningbo's 'Little Huangguoshu Waterfall'. During the rainy season, the water-rich path is continuously fed by streams and waterfalls, with new greenery blossoming, entering the most beautiful moment. — Originally, I was heading to the purple-red Tingxia Lake in Aodi Village, but somehow I turned into a side road. At the first hairpin turn on the Huxi Line (Ni's Bridge, with two or three households), you can park your car and follow the cement mountain road all the way to Ni's Mountain Village. — Location: Ni's Mountain, Huxi Line, Tingxia Lake Reservoir, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, hiking navigation to Tingxia Lake 'Ni's Bridge'. — The mountain road is wide enough for driving, winding quietly along the way. Admire the elegant peaks on the right side, and the majestic rock ravines (which are the continuous mountains of Xuekou Xuedou Mountain Qianzhangyan-Sanyintan line, stepping out of the mountains for a full view feels even more impressive), with the sounds of birds and mountain springs incessantly, and azaleas, paulownia, and cherry blossoms appearing from time to time. — Ni's Mountain Village is nearly abandoned, and following the water channel on the right side of the village without stopping, I was led into a stream and discovered a stunningly beautiful group of waterfalls hidden in the mountains. — Because it is hidden in the valley and has three clear pools, it is named Sanyintan. From top to bottom, they are called Upper Sanyintan, Middle Sanyintan, and Lower Sanyintan. The waterfalls, pools, and streams during the water-rich period are called the 'three wonders' of Sanyintan. — The twin waterfalls of Lower Sanyintan are also breathtaking at this time! The waterfall, over 40 meters high, cascades down the cliff, making a loud noise. One is solid and thick like rich nectar, the other is thin like a gauze curtain of water. Standing by the pool, with mist all around, it feels like being in a Chinese ink painting. On the rocks beside the pool, there is an inscription that reads 'Xueshan is famous in the southeast, and you won't see the wonder without reaching Sanyintan'. — The 'Little Huangguoshu Waterfall' should be beyond Sanyintan, located at Lover's Bridge (a rope bridge across the mountain stream), where the view from the bridge is like a miniature version. — The route I took was Ni's Bridge - Yansha - Ni's Mountain Village - Water Channel - Sanyintan - Lover's Bridge loop. In the deep mountain valley, the water-rich stream accompanies you all the way down. Huge rocks stand erect, steep cliffs and deep ravines, moss spots on the rocks, green branches sprawl along the ditches: 'To brew the spring mountain, monk's rooms are built with hollowed bamboo.'
