Jiuli Lake is one of the "Four Sceneries" of Xianyou (Jiuli Lake, Maixie Rock, Caixi Rock, Tianma Mountain), known for its lake, cave, waterfall, and stone. Especially the waterfalls are the most, hence the reputation of "Jiuli Flying Waterfall is a wonder in the world". The great traveler of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake, ranked it with Wuyi Mountain and Yuhua Cave as the "Three Absolutes of Fujian". Jiuli Lake is a beautiful natural lake with clear and green water. Around the lake, there are lush trees, thousands of rocks competing for beauty, strange rocks towering, waterfalls flowing, and the beautiful scenery of forest, waterfall, water, and stone in one place. On the upstream of the lake, there are strange-shaped caves like mortars, barrels, jars, and wells on the flat rock bottom, some of which are unfathomable, said to be the relics of the nine immortals refining pills. There are countless strange rocks and stones in the mountain forest, such as Penglai Stone, Yingzhou Stone, Yuhua Stone, Xuanzhu Stone, Long Ca Stone, Zhen Liu Stone, Natural Seat, etc. These strange stones have left many inscriptions by famous people from past dynasties, such as "Emperor Ten Thousand Years" by Chen Dang, the Minister of War in the Song Dynasty, "First Penglai" by Lin Youheng in the Ming Dynasty, and "Viewing Waterfall" by Li Xiangshu, with simple and generous fonts, free and easy. The Jiuli Lake nine-level waterfall group is well-known at home and abroad, and is the main body of the natural landscape of Jiuli Lake. The upstream stream rushes in, from Leihong sacrifice into the lake, overflowing waterfalls, hanging bead curtains, hanging jade pillars, knocking on stone doors, returning five stars, crossing flying phoenix, passing chessboard, visiting generals, cliffs of a thousand feet, ancient trees towering, the wonderful scenery is indescribable. 📸Photography Location There are many places to take pictures in Jiuli Lake. Especially the waterfall is the best place to watch the waterfall. If you have a drone, you can get a better perspective.
