-------excerpted from a quatrain (tang) Du Fu

The spectacular sight highlights xiling in the du fu’s travel notes in form of eulogy of poem:

thick snow-capped, being white and crystal, is like beams of jade persisting all year round on the

snow-capped mountain towering into sky, for this, xinling turned out to be a brand for such marvelous mountain.

A vast of forest park extends the scenic spot scattering steep cliffs and overhanging crags,countless exotic flowers and rare herbs, raging waterfalls racing down all year round, clouds of sea, sunrise, sunshine casting on forest, meteorological diversity scenery. all this poses a marvelous natural landscape.

With three-dimension climate, xiling for all reasons evolves pattern “enjoy azalea in spring,prevent sunstroke in summer, appreciate maple leaves in autumn and ski in winter; hence, xinling and the first resort of huashuiwan hot-spring make a pleasing scene and by no means gets off to a top brand.
