## About Tiexi Stream

Tiexi lies in the north of Zhenyuan, a place that is close to town yet blessed with beautiful scenery. It has pristine forest vegetation, rare animals and unusual stalactite caves. Longchi, the mountain pool, shines with a sea-like deep blue, like a royal blue mirror, and is known as the ‘Little Jiuzhaigou of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau’. Upturned eaves, pavilions and towers, faintly visible, are reflected in the stream, forming a richly coloured picture of nature. Tiexi is not only beautiful but also an excellent destination for outdoor hiking and adventure.
