 & nbsp; Xiangyu Temple Natural Scenic Area is located in the temple ditch at the foot of Jianshan Mountain, and is a naturally formed mountainous scenic area. A grand canyon (also known as Lover's Valley) with a length of 8.6 kilometers stands out and is incredibly spectacular. From upstream to downstream, there are three Xiangyu temples built in the Tang and Song dynasties, namely the Upper, Middle, and Lower. It is said that at that time, incense was lingering and pilgrims and tourists were flourishing. The difference between the upper and lower parts of the Grand Canyon is over 200 meters. During the rainy season, mountains, rivers, and springs rush down, hitting the shore and rocks. The valley is full of strange and rugged rocks, either standing abruptly or being cut by knives and axes. The green forest on the shore covers the sun, with lush vegetation. Some are century old natural bonsai, while others stand proudly in the crevices of rocks and rocks. The dense forest, composed of locust trees in a stepped shape, covers the sky and blocks the sun. Under the dense forest, carpet like green grass grows, which is called the "Lover's Forest" (also known as the Happy Forest) by the local people. It is a wonderful summer retreat. The most peculiar thing is the mountains surrounding the canyon. It is composed entirely of red rocks, intertwined with green trees, forming a natural ink wash. The diverse forms of mountain rocks have left behind many wonderful legends, such as the "Lover's Stone", "Viewing Stone", "Echo Wall", "Twin Lions Striving for supremacy", "Dayu splitting the mountain", and so on
