金鞭溪是天然形成的一条美丽的溪流，因金鞭岩而得名。溪水弯弯曲曲自西向东流去，即使久旱，也不会断流。走近金鞭溪，满目青翠，连衣服都映成了淡淡的绿色。流水潺潺，伴着声声鸟语，走着走着，忽然感到一阵清凉，才觉察有微风习习

吹过，阵阵袭来的芬芳使你不由得驻足细细品味。清澈见底、纤尘不染的碧水中，鱼儿欢快地游动，红、绿、白各色卵石在水中闪亮。阳光透过林隙在水面洒落斑驳的影子，给人一种大自然安谧静美的享受。

金鞭溪因流经金鞭岩而得名，全长5700米，穿行於绝壁奇峰之间，溪谷有繁茂的植被，溪水四季清澈，被称为“山水画廊”、“人间仙境”。有诗赞曰：“清清流水青青山，山如画屏人如仙，仙人若在画中走，一步一望一重天”。途中你会看到点歌台,那里有土家姑娘时刻准备为游人唱民族歌曲,只要付十元钱她们就会为你引吭高歌,当然,如果你不想花这个钱,也可以在一边听听别人点的歌,听完后走人。

金鞭溪沿线是武陵源风景最美的地界，从张家界森林公园门口进入后，往前步行300米左右就是金鞭溪的入口，全溪长5.7公里，穿行在峰峦幽谷云间，溪水明净，跌宕多姿，小鱼游弋其中，溪畔花草鲜美，鸟鸣莺啼，人沿清溪行，胜似画中游。 金鞭溪穿行于深壑幽谷之间，溪的两边千峰耸立，高入云天，树木繁茂，浓荫蔽日，这儿溪水潺潺、琉璃飞瀑，奇花异草与珍禽异兽同生共荣，构成极为秀丽、清幽、自然的生态环境，被称为“世界最美的峡谷”，“最富有诗意的溪流”。 来历

“久旱不断流，久雨水长绿”，这是张家界人夸金鞭溪的俗话，你瞧，它就象一条玉带，串了十五里山峡，流到哪儿，哪几便花鲜、草绿、树青。就连两岸的土家后生、妹子，都长得格外灵秀，人说是水色好。

可是有一年，金鞭溪水变了，变得红不红黑不黑的，又臭又脏，人喝了人死，畜饮了畜亡。两岸的花草树木也得了瘟病。

溪边古白果树下有间小茅房，茅房里往着个巴老头，是远近闻名的烧石灰师傅，一天夜里，巴老头舀了两瓢泥浆水，坐在屋后岩澡盆里抹身子。突然，一颗明晃晃

的星子忽悠悠从天上飘下来，落在岩澡盆里。你说怪不怪，巴老头竟怀孕了。三三九天，生了个小妹崽。巴老头羞得不得了。这妹崽一生下来，就要到岩盆里洗澡，还左一声阿爹，右一声阿爹，叫得怪亲热的。巴老头又喜又愁，喜的是有了个亲人，愁的是怕见外人。妹崽明白阿爹的心事，就说：“你就说是从山里捡来的，好不？”巴老头说：“好是好，可咱这地方苦哩，溪水不能吃了，乡亲们都搬走了，你过得惯么？”妹崽听了，扑在老爹怀里哭了！

就这样，妹崽和巴老头住了下来。白天，阿爹进山烧右灰，妹崽就从花溪挑回泉水煮饭，又给爹烧一耳锅热水，让爹回来洗身上的石灰。

有天晚上，妹崽到灶屋后洗澡去了，巴老头独个儿坐着吸闷烟，他抽着抽着，突然听到一阵阵“僻僻啪啪”的水响。怪！妹崽洗澡也不该有恁大的响声呀！他走过去一瞧，吓！不得了啦！澡盆里原来是一条鳞光闪闪的青蛇！巴老头一想，这妹崽本来就来得蹊跷，八成是条青龙变的。管它娘的，蛇也好，龙也好，咱有言在先，我总还是它老子。

隔了一会几，妹崽出来了，穿着一身青衣服。她挨着巴老头坐下来，用毛巾蘸着头发上的水。蘸着蘸着，她突然对巴老头说：“阿爹，我有件事该给您说了。”巴老头说：“我听着哩。”妹崽说：“阿爹，我本是武陵湖的龙姑娘，这金鞭溪水本是武陵湖里的龙泉仙水。后来，龙王爷那只乌鳖不守王法，窜进金鞭溪，想在青岩山称王称霸，它天天困在金鞭溪源头拉屎拉尿，于是把溪水给糟污了。龙王爷要我来除害，还说您是个石灰匠，要我找您帮忙……”巴老头忙问：“我能帮你啥忙呢？”妹崽说：“您叫乡亲们帮忙扎些鱼呀、虾呀什么的，越多越好，先在里面灌些石灰，再领着大伙，舞着这些鱼、虾，敲木头、石块、瓢盆什么都行，把妖鳖逗引出来，那妖鳖吃了这些纸鱼纸虾，一定受不了，那时，我再制伏它……”

寨民们听到巴老头的妹崽要夺回金鞭溪，都很高兴。男的女的老的少的，一齐动手，扎的扎纸鱼纸虾，灌的灌的石灰，只一夜功夫，就全办妥了。第二天，巴妹崽领着大伙来到金鞭溪源头。她先吩咐众人把纸玩艺丢进泉洞里，接着又叫大伙敲木棒呀、瓢盆呀什么的，咿咿呀呀，叮叮哨哨，把正在困懒觉的大妖鳖给吵醒了，它从洞中窜出来张口把那些纸鱼纸虾吞吃了。它刚一吞下去，还没尝出味儿，石灰水就发作了，妖鳖被石灰水烧得呼呼乱叫，疼得在洞边打起滚来。这时，巴妹崽变成一条青龙，梭进泉洞里，揪住妖鳖就打，刹时，泉洞便冒出几丈高的水柱子，周围几里都弄得雾雨蒙蒙。巴老头晓得妹崽跟妖鳖干上了，便领着大伙拼命敲家伙、打吆喝，为妹崽助威。过了一天一夜，泉洞里冒出一股污血，接着涨起了洪水，巴妹崽变成的青龙，顺着洪水走了。

三天三夜后，洪水退了，溪水变得更清更甜了。一刹间，荒山青了，花儿开了，绿水映蓝大，蓝天映青山，就象仙女撒的玉簪、珍珠、碧罗，美极了。青岩山又热闹起来了，四方游客又游山赏景来了。有个古诗人从百丈峡一直游到金鞭溪，不觉被这奇山秀水所迷醉，写诗赞道：人游山峡里，宛在画图中。

Golden Whip Stream Zhangjiajie

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are prominent on a world map, but even on a small-scale map of Zhangjiajie, Golden Whip Stream appears as just a fine thread. In the opinion of many tourists, however, this is the most beautiful and memorable waterway. When visiting Golden Whip Stream, vice governor of Colorado, USA, Nancy Dick, remarked these words: People commonly say that the Great Canyon (the Colorado Canyon) is very fantastic, but I think Golden Whip Stream is even more fantastic. It is the most

beautiful place in the world, and Ill remember this place forever.

With a length of 7.5 kilometers, Golden Whip Stream is famous for its pristine water, its verdant mountains, its steep cliffs and its serene valley. As a veritable paradise for plants, its pathways are adorned by an abundance of flowers, trees, and grasses. Then too, this place is a kingdom fit for various fauna-birds, fish and land animals. Such comparable scenic poetry is only to be found in fairy tales. Indeed, someone has aptly remarked: It is a stream of bright watercolor painting, and a creator of ancient legends. To many other observers, Golden Whip Stream is a stream at once unique and mysterious, producing astonishment in the hearts of those fortunate enough to tour its wonders.

What amazing scenery is to be found here! Only by coming here in person can one grasp its true charm. Lets proceed into the valley and take in the scenery with our own eyes, we are greeted by an explosion of splendid and varied scenery: Mother and Child Peak, Bajie Carrying His Wife on the Back, Golden Whip Crag, Magical Hawk Protecting the Whip, Drunk Arhat—. Truly just as noted Every step forward brings you astonishment and all the peaks are in their own different shapes. All of this grandeur requires an investment of about three hours of our time.

Golden Whip Stream is a comfortable place for bush walk. From Laomuwang to Shuiraoshimen(water winding four gates),people usually spend 3 hours walking in this

7.5km long canyon without steps.

From water winding four gates people can go to Bailong Elevator (2 minutes bus), and Tianzi Mountain Lower Cable Way Station (15 minutes bus)

天子山因明初土家族领袖农民起义领袖向大坤自号“向王天子”，而得名。天子山东临

索溪峪，南接张家界，北依桑植县，是武陵源区四大风景之一。

天子山位于“金三角”的最高处，素有“扩大的盆景，缩小的仙境”的美誉。天子山海拔最高1262.5米（昆仑峰），最低534米（狮兰峪）。景区总面积67平方公里，环山游览线有45公里。年平均气温12℃，年降雨量1800毫升，年无霜期240天，年冰冻期60到80天左右。 从天子山的地质地貌来看，除山顶上海拔几百米以上有一层石灰岩和极少量的龟纹石以外，大部分景区景点都是石英石构成，属砂岩峰林地貌，基本上与索溪峪，张家界相同，是三亿八千万年前由一片汪洋大海逐步沉下来的沉积岩（水成岩），后来，又由于复杂而漫长的成岩过程，才形成我们今天所见到的总厚度达五六百米的石英砂岩，形成了各种造型奇异的景观。 天子山的风光，用一名话来概括，就是“原始风光自然美”。她的景观、景点都是天造地设，全无人工雕琢痕迹。这里不但有奇山秀水，还有淳朴的民情，奇特的民俗、独具风味的民族食品正等待着各位游客光临。 难怪有人评价说：“谁人识得天子面，归来不看天下山”，“不游天子山，枉到武陵源”。现代肖草《天子山青松》诗：“擎天绝壁突老松，舒展长臂挡劲风；凌空豪情俯天下，笑傲杜鹃落花中”也给予真实诠释。

天子山一带，风光旖旎，景色秀美，景点众多。该游览线风景相对集中，有“凭栏览尽天上景”之称。

Tianzi Mountain (天子山) is located in Zhangjiajie in the Hunan Province of China, close to the Suoxi Valley. It is named after the farmer Xiang Dakun of the Tujia ethnic group, who led a successful local farmers' revolt and called himself "tianzi". This means "son of heaven" and is the traditional epithet of the Chinese emperor.

俗话说“不上黄石寨，枉到张家界”，可见黄石寨在张家界风光中的地位了。

黄石寨，位于张家界市的武陵源，是国家5条精品游览线之一。相传汉朝张良，

看破红尘，辞官不做，隐居江湖。在云游这里时，被官兵围困。后来得师父黄石公的帮助脱险，因而把这里叫作黄石寨。

有人曾这样评价黄石寨：五步称奇，七步叫绝；十步之外，目瞪口呆。黄石寨这里的每一座岩蜂都是一件古老的艺术品，它们如剑、如针、如龙首、如龟头、如现代化都市的摩天大厦……1992年5月，两位联合国世界遗产委员会派来的蓝眼睛官员面对黄石寨的磅砣气势哦哦连声，叹为观止。

黄石寨的山有棱有角，形状独特。山的周围有云雾缭绕。云雾袅袅升腾，林涛猎猎起伏，这是多么美的一幅画卷哪！现代肖草《重上黄石寨》诗：“烟云飘渺峰尽俏，风月乍寒林无鸟；故地重来芙蓉骄，黄石不去蓬莱笑”给予了真实诠释。一位旅客说：“看过了黄石寨，此生足矣；看过了黄石寨，觉得更要好好活下去了。” 地理

寨顶面积16.5公顷，西南稍高，东北略低。周围则悬崖绝壁，绿树从生，伸出许多淩空观景台。阴雨天气，寨台四周云烟弥漫，千峰攒聚；晴晨日出，薄雾飘飞，群峰或明或暗，变幻神奇；静夜月明，星空辽阔，峰群淡雅端正，背景幽深缥缈；寒冬冰雪覆盖，冰柱下悬，千峰万壑堆银砌玉；沿寨环行，群峰皆立足下，远近诸般奇景尽收眼底。黄石寨海拔1200米，占地面积250亩，为张家界森林公园最大、 最集中的观景台，主要观景点有20余处，故有“不上黄石寨，枉到张家界”之说。有南北两条步行登寨游道，还有后山车道自老磨湾通通寨后卡门，系砂石路面；从南面登寨，沿途有天书宝匣、定海神针、南天一柱、摘星台、天桥遗墩、六奇阁等绝佳景点。

At this critical moment, fortunately he was saved by his master named Yellow stone Taioist.

Cave is one of the foremost scenic areas in Zhangjiajie, and was rated as one of the first 4A National Tourist Attractions in China. Also it has been honored as magical karst cave both in China and in the world .

This system of caves is a typical karst formation, and you know that water plays an extremely important role in its development. Flowing into the fissures of the karst layer, water constantly dissolves the limestone rock, thereby widening the crevice. This process continues year after year and thus the caves are created. The Yellow Dragon Cave system covers a proven area of 140 meters. The inner recess is divided into four layers, two dry ones and two possessing waterways. The tally of natural wonders includes: one natural reservoir, 2 underground rivers, 3 pools, 4 waterfalls, 13 grand halls, 96 passageways and hundreds of thousands of stalagmites, columns and stalactites. The Yellow Dragon Cave is so complex and unfathomable, possessing such a multitude of geological features, that it’s impossible for us to take them all in at one time. This “magical place” abounds with all the sceneries that we can enjoy in the karst caves and the stalagmites are in all different shapes. Many famous scenic spots have been developing: the Dragon Dance Hall, Sounding River, Immortal Waterfall, Heaven Pillar Street, and the Dragon Palace.

Except for a short distance near the entrance, we won’t have to do any backtracking in the cave. The entire tour takes about two hours—2400 meters by land and an additional 800 meters by water.

Yellow Dragon Cave situated in Suoxiyu natural reserve, 15 minutes drive from Suoxiyu town, 1 hour drive from Zhangjiajie City, 20 minutes drive from Zhangjiajie National Park, and people spend 2 hours in the cave.
