Rare Spectacular Rock Pinnacles: As its most unique feature, Wulingyuan abounds in exquisite and grotesque rock pinnacles. It has over 3100 rock pinnacles, out of which, 1036 are more than 400 meters high; each endowed with a singular shape. Seen from the heights, row upon row, cluster after cluster, of various spectacular stone formations; roll out like a turbulent sea of forests with tremendous tidal waves, as if whipped up by bolts out of the blue. One feels as if staying in a fairyland enclosed by stone forests.

Exquisite Lakes, Waterfalls and Streams: Here the springs and streams are numerous, and the waters, are abundant and free from any pollution. From west to east, the Jinbianxi Stream and the Suoxi Stream serpentine across Wuling Yuan. Over 50 rivulets from its west to East End, drop from high, down to the floor of the canyon, splashing with pearl-like gleaming sprays. These waterfalls hang like curtains woven with strings of glossy beads. Baofeng Lake and Huangling Spring are among its famous scenic spots.

Fascinating Under-ground Palaces: Limestone caves existing in such great numbers, large sizes, and with so fantastic stalactite formations, as those in Wuling Yuan, are few and far between.
