| This
scenic forest reserve reposed in the eastern side of the
Hanlan Mountain 40 kilometers northwest of Yinchuan had
already made a name for itself in ancient times for the
liveliness of its scenery. The scenic zone includes such
gorgeous sights as the Baiyu Vale, the Guest-Reception
Pine, the Twin Waterfalls, the maze of winding footpaths
in a forest of fir trees, fossilized plants, the Sky in
a Slip, the Dasi Canyon, the Stone Descended from Heaven,
and the Mushroom-shaped Rock. With its peaks hidden shyly
behind a thick pall of clouds, and the ravines enveloped
in an ethereal mist, the Helan Mountain is indeed a sight
to behold.
