Golden Pheasant Mountain
In the north of the village, there is a mountain like a rooster pecking grains off the ground. While in the east of the village, there is White Tiger Mountain. The waterfall runs down from the mountain, like the silver pearls spreading on the river, therefore comes the saying “golden pheasant pecking white rice”. There are two sand bars in the river as if two mandarin ducks are tumbling merrily about in the water, so it is called “Mandarin Duck Beach”, under which there is “drum stone”. On both banks of Yang Causeway, forests of bamboos form a ten-mile natural green screen，swaying in the green hills, beautiful rivers, plunging waterfalls, and shallows. Here you can feel a sense of quiet and beautiful, peaceful, harmonious and tranquil. During the low water period, Yang Causeway, as the beginning of the travelling, is full of people and quite lively, totally a fantastic association of activity and inertia. There are seven shallows here such as Mandarin duck beach”, Shuangquan Beach, and Drum Beach.
Moonlight Isle
Travelling down the river, after passing by Shuangquan Beach and Luogu Beach, tourists can see an isle in the center of the river, whose area is over 200 mu(13.4 heactares). When being looked down form high places, the isle is like the moon of lunar 7th or 8th of each month, shining upon in the Lijiang River. This isle is just the well-known Monlight Isle, which is arboreous. The naturally grown turfs are thick and soft, with the moistening of the Lijiang River, they become evergreen all the year round. Especially in spring and summer, the isle is exuberant and full of vigor.
