## About Qiongtai Fairy Valley

The appeal here goes well beyond ordinary mountains and waters; it lies in the mystery that arises where landscape meets Daoist immortal lore. The most classic sight is the combination of the Baizhang Cliff Waterfall and the Dragon Pool, whose harmonious flow makes you want to compose poetry on the spot. The tea bar by the Dragon Pool offers a place to rest and, along the way, to calm your mind amid the surrounding jade-green scenery. Some say this is the most beautiful place on Mount Tiantai, and it is no wonder that Li Bai once sighed, “Dragon towers and phoenix gates he would not dwell in; he would soar straight to Mount Tiantai.”
