Before arriving at the scenic spot, ask you, have you ever been to heaven?I guess you haven't been. It doesn't matter. Xiao Wang will take you ough this paradise is a copycat version, it is also the only one in theworld, such as fake exchange. Tiantangzhai scenic spot is located in thesouthwest of Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, at the north foot of DabieMountain, bordering Yingshan County, Hubei Province and Luotian County, HubeiProvince. The total area of the scenic spot is 120 square kilometers. The wholemountain is high in the South and low in the north. There are dozens of peaksover 1000 meters. The main peak, Tianji peak, is 1729.13 meters above sea level,which is the second peak of Dabie Mountain. Tiantangzhai is not only thejunction mountain of Anhui and Hubei, but also the watershed of Yangtze Riverand Huaihe River. Because of its good ecological environment, it is known as theterritory of plants, the kingdom of animals, the world of water purification,the sea of clouds, the hometown of giant salamanders and the territory ofRhododendron. The scenic spot is now a national geopark, a National Forest Park,a National Nature Reserve and a national 5A tourist attraction.
I believe you can't wait for so much. Don't worry. Before you get off thebus, first of all, I'd like to make three rules with you: when you visit thescenery, you must pay attention to safety, so that you don't watch the scenerywhen you walk, and don't walk when you watch the scenery. At the same time, weshould protect the environmental health of the scenic spot, not littering andcigarette butts, not to mention learning from the monkey king tice has proved that "celebrity" is not so good.
When we enter the scenic area, we have to transfer to the bus. Pleasefollow me and line up for the bus. The destination ahead of us is tiger we are walking on the winding mountain road in the scenic area. You can seethe peak on your left. It is called Baima peak, with an altitude of 1488 is named because the mountain looks like a horse. It is composed of saddle,horseback and horsetail. What we see in front of us is the horse's buttocks. Thecliff of Baima peak is 1000 meters long, and it is an abyss; the rock on theridge is exposed, which is magnificent and precipitous. Every time after therainstorm, the clouds and fog rise in the valley, just like a white horsegalloping in the sea of clouds, causing people's imagination of flying in thesky. On a fine day, the sun shines on the white cliff, just like the white snowon the mountain. The formation of Mawei clear snow, Anshan sunset and otherunique landscape, very magnificent. Look, it's the plank road of Baima tors can go to the top of Baima peak directly through the plank road. Theplank road is built against the cliff, which is daunting. If there is a chance,those who have courage can try to climb and practice courage.
This is the tiger shaped parking lot. We are going to climb on foot
I believe you have heard the rumble of water. That's right. Qianfang is thefirst waterfall in Tiantang village. The first waterfall is called jiuyingwaterfall. The mountain spring water falls from 70 meters high into the deeppool, which is very quiet and beautiful. The white veins on the cliff behind thewaterfall are winding, like an eagle and a dragon. There is a famous saying thatmountains are not deep, immortals are famous, water is not deep, and dragons arespirit. This place is also a place where aura gathers. The content of negativeoxygen ions in the air here is very high. It is a natural oxygen bar. We musttake a few deep breaths here to touch the spirit of immortals.
Let's move on from the wooden plank road on the right. Come on, , after coming up, we come to the second waterfall. The second waterfall iscalled lover waterfall, also called curtain waterfall. She is 44 meters high,the water is gentle, several twists and turns, just like a girl playing with herhair, how charming. In the second waterfall, there is another bright spse look up. This is a huge chestnut tree. Let's find out where the brightspot is. Yes, a small pine tree grows in the middle of the trunk of the chestnuttree. In this era of fighting father, Maoli tree is the godfather of little pinetree. I'm kidding. This is a unique phenomenon in the mountains, which is acommon method of plant reproduction in mountainous areas. This is the legendaryoffshoot.
Go on to the third waterfall, which is Xieyu waterfall. Xieyu waterfall hasboth the magnificence of jiuying waterfall and the softness of lover flowing water clings to the cliff and rolls up the white water, just likeXieyu. The name of Xieyu waterfall comes from this. We will take the cableway upthe mountain from here. Ropeway two people a group, please free combination. Payattention to your left side when sitting in the cableway. You will see theremaining two waterfalls from the air, lady waterfall and silver bowwaterfall.
After a 20 minute air walk, you will arrive at Tianping peak, which is 1660meters above sea level. From here, you can have a panoramic view of Jingchu. Alittle to the right is a stone tablet with the inscription "the border of Anhuiand Hubei". Now the road we take is the junction of Anhui Province and HubeiProvince. It is no exaggeration to say that your left foot is in Hubei and yourright foot is in Anhui. It is the so-called one foot across the two provinces,looking at the Yangtze and Huaihe River. On the back of the monument, there arefive words engraved with the Yangtze Huaihe River watershed. Yes, this is thewatershed between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River. The waterfalls andsprings you see when you go up the mountain belong to the Huaihe River you pass here, on the other side of the mountain, there is the YangtzeRiver system. It's just like a person's life. When you are born, everyone is atthe origin. If you choose different roads, you will have completely differentscenery. Therefore, it's very important to choose. Behind every choice is anopportunity, which tells us that we should make the best use of it Grasp everychoice of life.
If you go further, the peak in front of you is Matou peak. Do you think itlooks like a horse that is eating grass with its head down? This is the mouth ofthe horse. The pine tree on its back is like a horse's mane. It's verybeautiful. In fact, there is something hidden in this mountain. If you look fromright to left, does it look like a camel? There are two humps over there. Thisis camel head. According to the ancient poem, it is different in height from farto near. This is the truth.

Hello everyone, I'm your guide!
Tiantangzhai is located in the hinterland of Dabie Mountains, in thesouthwest of Jinzhai County, Lu'an City, bordering Yingshan County in HubeiProvince in the southeast and Luotian County in Hubei Province in the is the watershed between Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and the main sourceof Huaihe River. Tiantangzhai, the main peak, is 1729 above sea level. 13meters, one of the main peaks of the Dabie Mountains. The scenic area covers anarea of 120 square kilometers, with 33 peaks above 1000 meters and 15 peaksabove 1500 meters. In 1987, Tiantangzhai was approved as the first batch ofprovincial scenic spots by the government; in 1992, it was approved as anational forest park by the Ministry of forestry; in 1998, it was approved as anational nature reserve by the State Council; in August 20__, Anhui DabieMountain (Lu'an), including Tiantangzhai Park, was approved as a nationalgeopark by the Ministry of land and resources, and Tiantangzhai is the main parkof Dabie Mountain Geopark; In 20__, it was approved as a national 4A touristattraction.
The forest coverage of Tiantangzhai is as high as 96. 5%, ranking in theforefront of China's scenic spots, it retains the last piece of virgin forest inEast China. Animal and plant resources are very rich, and the ecosystem is quitecomplete. The characteristics of its resources can be summarized as follows:rare forest species, magnificent waterfall landscape, wonderful mountain andstone bonsai, and pleasant air.
Tiantangzhai was named Hengshan before Sui Dynasty, Duoyun mountain in TangDynasty and Tiantangzhai after Ming Dynasty. From the spring and Autumn periodand Warring States period to the founding of new China, there were heroes in alldynasties who built villages and trained their troops to fight against the 11th year of the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Shouhui, the leader of thepeasants, revolted against the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and changed "Tiantangvillage" into "Tiantang village". From then on, there was a magnificent mountaincalled "Tiantang village" in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains.
Tiantangzhai park consists of five scenic spots, namely: Waterfall groupscenic spot; shengguafeng scenic spot; Baima peak scenic spot; zaoqian'ao scenicspot; Canyon Scenic spot.
Tiantangzhai scenic spot covers an area of 120 square kilometers. It is aplace of tourism, recuperation, vacation, summer vacation, scientific researchand teaching. Tiantangzhai has two characteristics of "beixiong and nanxiu",which is a mountain scenic spot in China. It belongs to the transition zone ofwarm temperate zone in the South and subtropical zone in the north. This is thenorthern boundary of many plant species in the South and the southern boundaryof many plant species in the north. It is the intersection of three plantsystems in East China, central China and North China. According to thepreliminary investigation of experts, there are 1882 species of wild vascularplants belonging to 648 genera and 173 families in this area. There are 28cosmopolitan species and genera, 77 rare species and genera, and 16 endemicspecies and genera in China.
The main highlight of Tiantangzhai is water, which is pure and sweet withpH value of 6. 7. It is the first grade drinking mountain spring water on thesurface. "The most pure land in the southeast, mountain is the natural color,water is the source" is a sincere praise to the water of Tiantangzhai. Theforest coverage of Tiantangzhai is as high as 96. Its annual precipitation isabout 2200 mm, and it is located on the northern slope of the Dabie Mountains,with annual evaporation of 1840 mm. In addition to frequent rainfall, itsometimes rains several times a day. Therefore, within a radius of 2 km, fiverelay waterfalls are formed, which is rare in East China. There is a poem thatsays that "only heaven water is the best for huang'edai and Lu".
Now our car is walking on the 6th Street to the waterfall group scenicarea. It's three kilometers on the winding mountain road. Please look at thefront left of us. This is Baima peak, 1480 meters above sea level. On the westside of the mountain, there is a cliff and a deep; on the ridge, the rocks areexposed, magnificent and precipitous. The lithology is monzonitic granite. It iscomposed of saddle, horseback and horsetail, stretching for tens of miles. Thehead is in Yingshan County of Hubei Province, facing us is its buttocks. Thereare "Mawei clear snow", "Anfeng sunset", "Penglai Ark" and other y time after the rainstorm, the flowing spring forms a waterfall, the lightfog turns into white clouds, and the white horse suddenly takes off in thesky!
On the left of Baima peak are the main scenic spots such as Mawei Pinghu,Xianren bridge, Xianren cave, piaoer cave, Leigu stone, Fengdong stone, etc. Inparticular, the hole is 9 meters wide, 18 meters deep and about 2 meters high. 4meters, can accommodate more than 100 people. In ancient times, it was a placefor military strategists to garrison troops. Today, it is an excellent place forcamping and rest. In summer, the wind is cool and the fragrance of wild flowersis strong; in winter, icicles are colorful. Baima peak is currently underplanning and development, and will soon unveil its mysterious veil for touriststo visit.
Here is the gate to the waterfalls. There are parking lots and manyreception facilities. There are high mountains, dense forests and bamboo groveshere. Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said in his poem, "sitting alone inthe secluded bamboo groves, playing the piano and whistling again.". People inLin Shen don't know that the moon shines on each other.
Along the stone steps, we come to the waterfall group scenic area. Thewaterfall Longtan is the central landscape of Tiantangzhai. Tiantangzhai parkhas many faults, and all kinds of joints and fissures are developed in thegranite body. After long-term weathering and erosion, collapse and rolling, andwater erosion, a series of cliffs are formed in the canyon, which provides thebasic conditions for the formation of the waterfall.
If you don't plan your face, you should hear your voice first. Do you hearthe roar of water? This is the roar of jiuying waterfall, the first waterfall inthe waterfall group scenic area. Jiuying waterfall is a perennial waterwaterfall, 71 meters high and 8 meters wide. It is formed by lithologydifference and faulting. Monzonitic granite at the bottom of the waterfallintrudes into hornblende plagioclase gneiss as a rock bed. There is a deep poolunder it, with a surface of about 500 square meters. It does not dry up all theyear round. The water curtain of the waterfall flies down in the air and roars.(waterfall is a kind of river pouring phenomenon when the river flows throughthe cliff bed. The smaller one is called falling water. The waterfall has strongscouring effect. Seeing this waterfall, we can really understand the truemeaning of Li Bai's famous saying "flying down 3000 feet, it is suspected thatthe Milky way falls nine days". Friends, do you feel comfortable standing here?The negative oxygen ion content in the atmosphere of this area is as high as 16IU / m3, which is a natural forest bathing place. Please take a look at the"waterfall Pavilion" above and the "Xiaoyao bridge" on the river. Take a deepbreath and enjoy the gift of nature!
We continue to climb up. Walking along this avenue, there are many rareplants on both sides of the road, such as purple stem, Acer palmatum, pepper,Tianmu ginger, jiaorang wood, sizhaohua, Baizi and so on. They are all veryprecious. "Good forest vegetation, the transition zone of North and southclimate, the virgin forest dominated by natural mixed forest, and the endlesswaterfall and spring in all seasons.".
Look, Valentine's waterfall, the second waterfall in the waterfall group,is here. This waterfall is 44 meters high and 10-15 meters wide. It is a clifftype waterfall. Under the pool, monzogranite of different sizes can be seen, andthe xenoliths of Dabie complex (Xenoliths: the surrounding rock fragmentscaptured by the underground magma in the intrusion process) can be seen. Thewaterfall is soft and folds several times. It's like a girl playing with herbeautiful hair. There is a poem that says, "the waterfalls and emeralds servethe old, and the ferries have been built for thousands of years.". Friendslooked up and looked across, a huge chestnut tree, pengpeng vigorous growth of asmall pine. It is a common way for plants to multiply in mountain area to growinto forest by flying seeds. This is also a scene. We call it "extraneous". Theplants in Tiantangzhai are so wonderful!
Let's keep climbing. We've passed 200 stone steps. On the roadside, this isa sword cleaving stone. It is 8 meters high, and the gap in the middle is only10 cm. It is said that Lu Dongbin's sword, one of the eight immortals, split themark left by the fox spirit. In fact, geologically, it is a group of paralleljoints in the rock formed by weathering, denudation and gravity. (joint: arelatively flat fracture surface in the rock, and there is no relativedisplacement or only slight displacement in the rocks on both sides)
Dear friends, the third waterfall in the waterfall group, Xieyu waterfall,has arrived. The waterfall is 62 meters high and 12 meters wide. It's aperennial waterfall. The water flows on it and drips down to the stone flat,just like the waves rolling snow. Standing here, you can look down at the greentrees and the Milky way for nine days.
From Xieyu waterfall, there are two routes for climbing. One is to crossBuyun bridge on the left and climb the mountain by cableway. Tiantangzhaipassenger ropeway, with a total length of 1500 meters and a height difference of450 meters between the upper station and the lower station, adopts the singleline circulating fixed cable carrier double car mode to carry guests. It is adifferent scene to see the waterfall in the ropeway hanging box. The cablewaystation leads to Tianping peak, which is 1605 meters above sea level. "If youwant to see the scenery of heaven, the immortals love to walk overhead.". If youare willing to experience the feeling of mountain climbing and the majesticdanger of Tiantangzhai, let's continue to walk along the stone steps. Up theright stone step is the top of "Xieyu waterfall". The scenic spot beside thewater is called "yaochi". It is an erosion cave, oval in shape and about 1 meterdeep. It is a relic of neotectonic movement. The two groups of intersectingfissures in the rock form vortices under the scouring and erosion of flowingwater and sand and stone, and form caves over time.
On the right, to the northwest, the climbing stone steps lead to the"longjianfeng" scenic spot. The scenery of longjianfeng is magnificent. We cango up the steps to longjianfeng directly, but today we'll go up the waterfalland down the mountain from longjianfeng to save you some energy.
OK, let's keep going up. Look, the fourth waterfall in the waterfall groupscenic area, lady waterfall, is here. The waterfall is 57 meters high and 10-16meters wide. It is a perennial waterfall. Flowing water flows down the inclinedjoint surface of monzonitic granite and flows into the pool. The stone walls ofthe water flow form a clear curve, three wide and two narrow, just like a girlin a long skirt dancing in the depth of the forest.
Climb up again. Now we stand on the "listen to fog bridge" and see that thefifth waterfall in the waterfall group Scenic Area - Yingong waterfall isdisplayed in front of us. The waterfall is 68 meters in fall and 11-15 meters inwidth. It is a second-order perennial waterfall. The water slides down along theoblique joint surface of monzonitic granite and flows into a deep pool of about100 square meters. Giant salamander (salamander) can be seen in the pool. Thiswaterfall is just like a silver bow with arrows waiting to go. It is looking forthe target to shoot under the cover of green trees and flowers. What amagnificent momentum!
Go up and walk through the "listening to the wind bridge". This isduiwaogang. It is said that this is the place where Xu Shouhui and other peasantuprising troops camp and make grain. The sound of pines and springs is like thesound of rebel soldiers processing rice in a pestle pit, or the roar of warriorscharging against the enemy.
Further up, it is Tianping. Friends slowly forward, you can see thebeautiful landscape of the vertical distribution of primeval forest large area is full of rhododendrons, which we call "Dujuan Ping"odendrons belong to the family rhododendraceae, evergreen or semi evergreenshrubs. The Corolla is funnel-shaped in width, rose red in color and differentin depth. It opens in spring (March may) and autumn (September October)rding to its varieties, it can be divided into: Rhododendron huangshanica,Rhododendron Tianmu, Rhododendron Yunjin, etc. Cheng Yanxiong's "Rhododendronpoem" says: "Rhododendron and bird, what's the difference between them. I doubtit's blood in my mouth, dripping into a flower on a branch. " In the forestrock, wild fragrance, red flowers all over the mountain, just like Jinping, Shais beautiful.
This large area is full of Pinus taiwanensis, which we call "Pinustaiwanensis Ping". Pinus taiwanensis is an evergreen tree belonging to thefamily Pinaceae. Its crown is umbrella shaped. Its annual branchlets areyellowish brown or dark reddish brown, glabrous, with two needles in a posture of Pinus taiwanensis is tough, proud, beautiful and peculiar, butthe growth environment is very difficult, so the growth speed is extremely slow.A tall Pinus taiwanensis is often hundreds of years old, or even hundreds ofyears old. The root is often several times or dozens of times longer than thetrunk. Because the root is very deep, Pinus taiwanensis can stand firmly on therock, and it still retains its youth despite wind, frost, rain and snow.
This large area is full of Indocalamus, which we call "Indocalamus Ping" stem height of Indocalamus is 1-1. 5 m, diameter 0. 5—0。 The length of themiddle segment is 10-20 cm, with a light yellow ring under the segment. Thepractical value of Indocalamus is high: the stalk can be used as pen holder andbamboo chopsticks; the leaf can be used to make hat, boat canopy and line is a large area, full of Quercus. We call it "Quercus flat". Quercus,a deciduous tree, is 30 meters high. It is a typical plant at the intersectionof north subtropical zone and South warm temperate zone.
There are clear and uniform boundaries between them. This is a masterpieceof nature!
After walking through Tianping, we are now at the upper station of thecableway and the line of tianpingfeng at both ends. Tianping peak is 3kilometers long from the bonsai garden, Tiancheng stone Buddha. It wasoriginally for fire prevention. A fire prevention road left by cutting downtrees artificially is also the boundary between Anhui and Hubei provinces. "Onefoot on two provinces, take a broad view of Jianghuai." From the southwest, youcan have a panoramic view of the land of Jingchu. Looking back to the northeast,the vast forest. Tianping peak is located on the west side of the waterfallgroup scenic area, at the end of the cableway, at the junction of Anhui andHubei, with an altitude of 1605 meters. Standing here, you can enjoy the goldenlion roaring sky, scissors stone, Laojun's party, lovers peak, dreambrush,turtle stone, lovers turtle, frog moon and other attractions. So many landscapesare formed in 1. Granite peak cluster landform and pictograph landscape formedby long-term tectonic uplift, weathering and denudation of granite body 300million years ago.
Along the boundary between Anhui and Hubei provinces, to the East, you cango to the main peak of Tiantangzhai, one of the main peaks of Dabie Mountain,with an altitude of 1729. 13 meters. The peak rocks are porphyritic biotitemonzogranite. On a lonely hill, there is a huge stone called "Chaqi stone"use there is a stone hole with a thick mouth in the middle of the stone, itis recorded that the flag of Xu Shouhui, a peasant uprising army at the end ofthe Yuan Dynasty, was inserted there. Because of the time, we won't go to themain peak. Next, I'll go westward along the boundary.
This area is called basin garden. Among the cliffs, there are many kinds ofstrange pines; on the gullies, there are strange rocks and strange shapes, andthe flowers and flowers at the feet are smiling.
Friends! Look, it's lovers peak. The rock is monzonitic granite withvertical joints developed. It's formed by gravity collapse, weathering anddenudation. The two stones are beautiful side by side, like lovers. Look, acouple of lovers are embracing and kissing each other. Look down, the boulderattached to the mountain on the front left is "lovers turtle". The rock ismonzonitic granite with developed vertical joints, which is formed by gravitycollapse, weathering and denudation. A thousand year old tortoise, like acouple, has fallen in love and can't extricate himself. The two tortoises, bigand small, are climbing up to the peak of lovers. It is formed by long-termweathering and denudation of granite. Don't disturb them. Look at the cicadanext to them. They can't bear to disturb them and stop singing. Friends, thisscenic spot is called "white elephant playing in the water". It is a pictographformed by weathering and denudation of granite body for hundreds of millions ofyears.
Now, we are Wu chuting. Here, the altitude is 1660 meters. Standing on Wuchuting, you can have a panoramic view of the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, and thegranite peak cluster landform is magnificent. From a distance of 300 degrees, wecan see the power of Crouching Tiger Mountain, the wonder of whales going out tosea at 320 degrees, and the precipitousness of Baima peak at 20 degrees. Pleasetake a look at the distant mountain in front of you. It's called "golden lionroaring sky". The distant view is vivid. It's formed by the collapse ofmonzonitic granite along the joints.

In fact, there is a moving story in it. It is said that in theworld of flood and famine, heaven and earth are integrated, and hundreds ofmillions of creatures are squeezed between the dark heaven and earth. Later, amountain roared up and lifted up the sky with his back, so that all creaturescould get light. Because the mountain separated heaven and earth, day and night,so that heaven and earth are different, it was named Dabie Mountain. Of course,it's just a legend. In fact, from the perspective of geographical location, it'scalled Dabie Mountain because it separates the Yangtze River and Huaihe River,and separates the state of Wu and the state of Chu, which makes the climate andcustoms of the two places different.
In addition to being the birthplace and base of China's red revolution,Dabie Mountain is also a tourist, summer resort and holiday resort.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I am today's tour guide. Today I willaccompany you to visit the Dabie Mountains.
Dabie Mountain is located at the junction of Hubei, Henan and Anhuiprovinces. It has high mountains and overlapping peaks. It connects Huaihe Riverin the north and Yangtze River in the south. It is of great strategicsignificance to overlook the Central Plains. Therefore, it has been a must formilitary strategists since ancient times. It has always been said that those whoget the Dabie Mountains get the Central Plains, and those who get the CentralPlains get the world.
As early as in feudal society, the cruel exploitation and oppressionaroused the people's resistance to the ruling class. At the end of Qin Dynasty,yingbu led the peasants to fight against Qin peasants. At the end of the YuanDynasty, Xu Shouhui, the leader of the peasant uprising, established the Tianhuiempire in Qingquan town of Xishui based on the Dabie Mountains, and then dividedthe troops into four groups. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom revolutionary movementwas in full swing here for several years.
Dabie Mountain is a famous mountain in the history of Chinese is because the people of Dabie Mountain, under the leadership of theCommunist Party of China, fought bravely and made great contributions to theestablishment of new China.
During the agrarian revolution, "jute uprising", one of the three majoruprisings in China, took place here; the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, oneof the three main forces of the Red Army, was also born here; during the war ofliberation, Liu Deng's army leaped into the Dabie Mountains and fought here.
Jute uprising is an event of great significance in today's Huang'an andMacheng. On November 11, 1927, according to the spirit of the "August 7th"meeting of the CPC Central Committee and the autumn harvest riot plan of theHubei provincial Party committee, the CPC jute special committee held a meetingof the Communist Party and League activists in Huang'an and Macheng at Wenchangpalace in Qiliping, Huang'an County, and decided to launch the "September riot"in Huang'an and Macheng On the night of November 11, more than 20000 peasantsled by the general headquarters of the uprising, with the support of thousandsof people, captured Huang'an County in the early morning of the next day. Twentyone days later, because the Kuomintang troops attacked Huang'an city secretly,the enemy was outnumbered, and Huang'an City, which was not liberated long ago,fell back into the enemy again Hands. The Eastern Hubei army also withdrew fromthe county seat and arrived at Mulan mountain to carry out guerrilla January 1, 1928, it was reorganized into the seventh army of the Chineseworkers' and peasants' revolution. In July of the same year, it was reorganizedinto the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army, and created the firstrevolutionary base in the region of Hubei, Henan and Anhui.
On November 7, 1931, the Fourth Front Army of the Chinese workers' andpeasants' Red Army was established in Qiliping, Huang'an. Its commander-in-chiefYu Qianxiang and political commissar Chen Changhao had more than 30000 peopleunder the jurisdiction of the fourth and 25th Red Army. Before itsestablishment, the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army had achieved the goal ofsmashing the enemy's three "suppression" campaigns, two "encirclement andsuppression" campaigns and going south, The victory of the battle and theestablishment of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army marked the growingstrength and maturity of the Dabie Mountains. It trained and trained a largenumber of excellent senior military leaders and commanders for China'srevolutionary cause.
In June 1947, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping led 120000 troops to cross theYellow River from the southwest of Shandong Province with superhuman courage andcourage in accordance with the strategic principles of the Party CentralCommittee, breaking through the Kuomintang's hundreds of thousands ofencirclement and interception, and leaping from the Yellow River to the DabieMountains, which successfully opened the prelude of the PLA's strategiccounterattack. In October, Chiang Kai Shek sent troops to prevent the PLA fromcrossing the river. Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping decided to seize thisfavorable opportunity and concentrate their superior forces to annihilate it. OnOctober 1, under Liu Deng's personal deployment, the main force of the fieldarmy annihilated the Kuomintang's integrated 40th division and the 82nd brigadeof the integrated 52nd division. In this battle, 12600 people were annihilated,70 guns of various kinds, more than 4800 long and short guns were seized, andone plane was shot down. We have achieved great success in gaoshanpu. Thisbattle laid the foundation for Liu Deng's army to rebuild the Dabie mountainbase, and realized the strategic policy of the Party Central Committee andChairman Mao on leading the war from the liberated area to the enemy's war the Central Plains area to the north of the Yangtze River, it formed a pinshaped strategic layout with the brother main forces advancing into the areas ofJiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Henan, Shaanxi and Hubei, which directlythreatened the security of the Nanjing Kuomintang government. It fundamentallyshook the Kuomintang's reactionary rule in the Central Plains and greatlyaccelerated the liberation process of the whole country. It took only one yearand eight months from August 1947 to the liberation of the whole territory ofHubei, Henan and Western Anhui. In this short period of 20 months, Liu Deng'sfield army, who was brave and good at fighting, not only led the war from thenorth of the Yellow River to the Yangtze River basin with a leap forward actionrarely seen in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history In other words, itpushed forward 1000 kilometers southward, and at a speed much faster than peopleexpected, it won the vast area with the Dabie Mountains as the center, andsuccessfully achieved the goal of stabilizing the overall situation of theCentral Plains and then marching into the south. As the front position of thestrategic counter offensive, the Dabie liberated area has also become animportant base for our army to move forward. In its glorious history, a newchapter has been added to support the battle of crossing the Yangtze River andthe liberation of the southern half of China.
Located in Luotian County, Hubei Province, Tiantangzhai, the main peak ofDabie Mountain, is 1729 meters high, known as the first peak in the CentralPlains. When you climb the main peak and look around the world, you can see100000 mountains embracing and worshiping you. Looking at the Central Plains inthe north and Jingchu in the south, there is a poem that says: "there is a peakstraight up, and all things are dense. When you look at it, your mind is stillwide, and the Phoenix is like heaven." Watching the sunrise in the early morningis like walking in the fairy palace. When the rain is over and the sky is clear,climbing the main peak in the morning to view the sea of clouds is even morespectacular. The green and black mountains are like fishing boats in the whitesea, sometimes looming and sometimes appearing. They are also like black dragonsflying, dancing and swallowing clouds.
On the west side of the main peak, large and small scenic spots can be seeneverywhere, with nine hoops and monks more eye-catching. As soon as visitors getclose to the park management office, they can see a cliff hundreds of metershigh when they look up to the East. They are born like a monk with a big stomachand a smiling face. It is said that this cliff was changed by Maitreya e is a yellow aperture on the top of the cliff.
We go up the ladder, and here is the famous gathering of immortals. Withina half kilometer radius, there are 90 peaks, large and small, most of which areformed by weathering and denudation of ancient rock strata. Looking up from therock, you can see the clouds directly; looking down from the top, you can seethe past like smoke. The magic of its shape, uncanny workmanship. One of themost famous is Zheren peak. In a small view, the cliff is about 100 meters high,like a huge head, broad forehead, thick eyebrows, high nose, fleshy lips,contemplating the north, as if thinking about a major philosophical proposition,visitors stop, marvel and ponder.
"Benevolent people enjoy mountains, wise people enjoy water.". ParadiseForest Park can also let you enjoy the charm of Paradise water. The water ofheaven is "divine water". On the mountain peak with an altitude of more than1700 meters, there is a spring. The spring is always clear and sweet. There isanother square meter pool in front of us. It is said that Xu Shouhui, the leaderof the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, once bathed in public inthis pool and put a purple light on his body. All the believers thought MaitreyaBuddha was born, and they embraced him as the Lord. They gathered millions ofpeople at one stroke.
Fairy Valley is also full of magical colors. Less than 200 meters west ofthe pedestrian road from the park management office, you enter the picturesquefairy valley. The legend of Shenxian Valley is a place loved and frequentlymoved by taishanglaojun. A huge stone stands at the entrance of the valley, onwhich a flat roof is naturally formed. There is a deep hole under the e is a pool in front of the hole. There are two cascades on the pool. It issaid that a pair of carp in the pool are infected by taishanglaojun's immortalQi. They swim into shuanglongtan not far away and listen to Laojun's chantingand preaching. Shuanglongtan is actually the biggest two "Wells" in the ninewells of heaven, and the two wells are connected. There is a huge platformbetween the two pools, namely "songjingtai", which is taishanglaojun A platformfor chanting and preaching. Every time Lao Jun devotes himself to preaching, thetwo carp also devote themselves to listening. After a long time, they all emergeinto Jackie Chan and achieve the right results. Therefore, they are later called"shuanglongtan".
OK, I'll explain it to you. If you have anything else you want to know, youcan bring it up to me. Let's discuss it together. The rest of the time is foryou to take photos. Please don't have to return to the hotel before 5:30. Youcan take the road on the left or return the same way.

Here is the fairy valley. It is picturesque and full of magical colors. Thelegend of Shenxian Valley is a place loved by Laojun and frequently active. Yousee, there is a natural platform on a huge stone, which is called the e is a deep hole under the boulder. There is a pool in front of the e are two cascades on the pool. It is said that a pair of carp in the poolwere infected by Laojun's immortal spirit. They swam into shuanglongtan not faraway to listen to Laojun's chanting and preaching. Shuanglongtan is actually thelargest two "Wells" in the nine wells of heaven, and the two wells areconnected. There is a huge platform between the two pools, namely "chantingplatform". This is the platform of the Sutra chanting and preaching. Every timeLao Jun devotes himself to preaching, the two carp also listen r a long time, they all emerge into Jackie Chan and achieve good efore, later generations call these two wells "shuanglongtan".
Fairy Cave
The cave in front of you is said to be the place where taishanglaojun livedand ate, so people named it Xianren cave. Xianren cave is close to mountains andwaters, with beautiful environment. There is a space of about 10 square metersin the cave. At the bottom of the cave, there is a stone bed wheretaishanglaojun is staying. This is taishanglaojun's immortal stove. Not faraway, there is taishanglaojun's "Xianyi cave" where he plays chess. Next to theimmortal cave, there is "shuanglongchugu". At this point, the river water ofShenxian Valley is divided into two parts by a huge stone. It flows down fromboth sides like two silver dragons running out of the valley happily.
Philosopher peak
What you see now is the philosopher peak, which is known as one of the"three wonders of heaven". Please take a closer look. The cliff is about 100meters high. It looks like a huge head, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, a highnose, and rich lips. Looking north, you seem to be thinking about a majorphilosophical proposition. The buildings here are of Ming and Qing styles. Mostof them are arranged according to the situation. It has the characteristics ofShanzhai. The mountain road is rugged. Please be careful and pay attention tosafety. It seems to be a humble place. In fact, it has quite favorable militaryconditions.
In the war of liberation, Liu Deng's army advancing into the DabieMountains was the historical turning point of our army's transformation fromstrategic defense to strategic attack. On June 30, 1947, Liu Bocheng and DengXiaoping led the main force of the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan fieldforces, Liu Deng's army, in accordance with the strategic principles of theParty Central Committee, with superhuman courage and courage, to cross theYellow River in Southwest Shandong and leap into the Dabie Mountains,successfully opening the prelude of the PLA's strategic counterattack. By themiddle of October, Liu Deng's army had controlled more than 150 kilometers ofJiangfang on the North Bank of the Yangtze River.
Now we have reached the summit of the philosopher peak. Here, when we lookaround the world, we can see that 100000 mountains are worshipping. You can seethe Central Plains to the north and Jingchu mountains and waters to the hing the sunrise in the early morning seems to be nine days away, andwatching the sunset in the evening is like walking in the fairy palace.

Pick star peak
This is jiexingfeng, so it's called Siyi. We are almost to the sides of it are abysses, with only one stone path to climb up. The degreeof danger is astonishing. The mountain ridge is covered with thousand year oldpines. The roots of pines are climbing the cliff, showing people their greatvitality. Several huge stones on the top of Jiexing peak are independent of thepeak, as if they were flying from outside.
If you stand on Jiexing peak and look to the northeast, another dangerousscene will jump into your eyes. Different from other places, there are countlessstone swallows flying together in spring and summer. They live in the crevicesbetween the cliffs and fly on the mountain jungle.

各位女士、各位先生：
首先，对大家来天堂寨旅游、观光表示热烈欢迎!
天堂寨位于大别山腹地，六安市金寨县的西南部，东南部与湖北英山县接壤，西南与湖北罗田县毗邻。系长江与淮河的分水岭，淮河的主要源头。主峰天堂寨海拔1729。13米，为大别山主峰之一。景区面积120平方公里，有1000米以上的高峰33座，1500米以上的高峰15座。1987年，天堂寨经政府批准为第一批省级风景名胜区;1992年，经林业部批准为国家森林公园;1998年，经国务院批准为国家级自然保护区;XX年8月，包括天堂寨园区在内的安徽大别山(六安)被国土资源部批准为国家地质公园，天堂寨为大别山地质公园主园区;XX年被批建为国家4a级旅游景区。
天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96。5%，位居我国风景名胜区的前列，它保留了华东最后一片原始森林。动植物资源十分丰富，生态系统保持相当完整，它的资源特点可概括为四句话，这就是：森林物种珍稀，瀑布景观壮美，山石盆景奇妙，空气清馨宜人。
天堂寨在隋朝以前名“衡山”，唐代称“多云山”，明代以后改为“天堂寨”。自春秋战国迄至新中国建立前，历代都有英雄豪杰在此筑寨练兵，反抗暴政。元至正十一年，农民领袖徐寿辉在此揭竿起义，反抗元朝统治，改“天塘寨”为“天堂寨”，从此大别山腹地就有了称作“天堂寨”雄而博大的山峰。
天堂寨园区共有5个景区组成，即：瀑布群景区;圣卦峰景区;白马峰景区;造钱坳景区;峡谷景区。
天堂寨风景区有 120平方公里的地域。这儿以原始次生林为主，间有奇松、怪石、云海、龙潭、飞瀑，是集旅游、疗养、度假、避暑、科研、教学为一体的胜地。天堂寨兼有我国山岳型风景名胜“北雄南秀”的两大特点，属于南暖温带和北亚热带的过渡区。这里是许多南方植物种类分布的北界，又是许多北方植物种类分布的南界，是华东、华中、华北三大植物体系的交汇点。据专家初步考察，本区有野生维管束植物173科，648属，共计1882种。其中世界性种属28个、少种属77个、中国特有种属16个。
天堂寨的主要亮点是水，其清洌甘甜，ph 值为6。7，为地表一级饮用山泉水。“东南第一清白地，山是本色水是源”这是对天堂寨水的真诚赞美。天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96。5%;它的年降水量约在2200毫米，而又地处大别山北坡，年蒸发量1840毫米，加上地形雨频频降落，有时一天要下几场。因此在半径2公里范围内形成了五个接力式瀑布的瀑布群景观，华东地区实属罕见。有诗云“踏遍黄峨岱与庐，唯有天堂水最佳”。
现在我们的汽车就行走在去瀑布群景区的6。3公里的盘山公路上。请大家看我们的左前方，这是海拔1480米的白马峰。山峰西侧千米绝壁，万丈深渊;山脊上岩石裸露，雄奇险峻。岩性为二长花岗岩。由马鞍、马背和马尾构成，绵延数十里。头部在湖北的英山县，面对我们的是它的臀部。有“马尾晴雪”、“鞍峰夕照”、“蓬莱方舟”等景点。每当暴雨之后，流泉形成飞瀑，淡雾幻为白云，白马顿时在天空腾飞!
白马峰的左首有马尾平湖、仙人桥、仙人洞、瓢儿洞、擂鼓石、风动石等主要景点。特别是瓢儿洞，洞宽9米，深达18米，高约2。4米，可容纳100余人。古为兵家屯兵之地，今可作野营休息之的极佳场所。夏日，凉风习习，野花香浓;冬日，冰柱交挂，五彩缤纷。白马峰目前正在规划开发中，不久将揭开她那神秘的面纱供游人探访。
虎形地到了，这儿是进入瀑布群景区的门户，有停车场和多处接待服务设施。此处山高林密，篁竹萧萧，唐朝诗人王维诗曰“独坐幽篁里，弹琴复长啸。林深人不知，明月来相照”。
沿着石级前行，我们就来到了瀑布群景区，飞瀑龙潭是天堂寨的中心景观。天堂寨园区断层纵横，花岗岩体中各类节理、裂隙发育，经过长期的风化剥蚀、崩塌滚落、流水冲刷，于峡谷中形成了一道道断崖，为瀑布的形成提供了基本的条件。
未谋其面，先闻其声。听到轰隆隆的水声了吗?这就是瀑布群景区中第一个瀑布——九影瀑的轰鸣。九影瀑为常年流水瀑布，瀑高71米，宽约8米，为岩性差异及断层作用形成，瀑布底端二长花岗岩呈岩床侵入到角闪斜长片麻岩中，下有深潭，潭面约500平方米，终年不涸，瀑布水帘凌空而下，响声轰鸣。(瀑布是河流流经局部呈悬崖式河床时一种河水倾泻现象。规模较小的叫跌水。瀑布有较强的淘蚀作用)。看到此瀑我们真切体会到了李白的名句“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天”的真正含义。朋友们!站在这儿你觉得心胸特别舒爽吗?这一带大气中的负氧离子含量高达16个国际单位/立方米，是一处天然森林浴之地。请大家到上面的“观瀑亭”去看看，去河上的“逍遥桥”走走，抓紧呼吸吧，做深呼吸，享受一下大自然的恩赐!
我们继续向上攀行。漫步在这林荫小道上，路两旁有很多珍稀植物，如紫茎、鸡爪槭、朵椒、天目木姜子、交让木、四照花、白梓等等，都是很名贵的呢!“良好的森林植被，南北方气候的过度带，天然混交林为主的原始森林，四季不息的飞瀑流泉”。
看，瀑布群中的第二道瀑布—情人瀑到了，这道瀑布高44米，宽10—15米，为断崖型瀑布，潭下可见大小不等的二长花岗岩，岩体中的大别杂岩捕虏体(捕虏体：地下岩浆在侵入过程中捕获的周围岩石碎块)。此瀑水势柔和，几度折叠，乘势而下，宛如少女正在拨弄她那秀美的头发。有诗曰：“瀑翠相侍老，渡船修千年”。朋友们抬头再看对面，一棵巨大的毛栗树上，蓬蓬勃勃地生长着一棵小松树。飞籽成林，是山区植物繁衍的通常办法。这也是一景，我们称它为“节外生枝”，天堂寨的植物就是这般奇妙!
让我们继续攀登。已经走过200级石阶了。路旁这是剑劈石，此石高8米，中间缝隙仅10厘米。传说是八仙之一的吕洞宾剑劈狐狸精留下的剑痕。事实是，在地质上它是岩石中一组平行的节理因风化剥蚀和重力作用而形成。(节理：岩石中产生的较平直破裂面，并且两侧岩石没有发生相对位移或仅有微量位移)
朋友们!瀑布群中第三道瀑布—泻玉瀑到了，此瀑高62米，宽12米，为常年流水瀑，水流其上滚珠泻玉，下跌至石坪上，恰似海浪翻卷白雪，站在此处，俯看绿树染百嶂，仰视银河来九天。
由泻玉瀑这儿登山，线路有两种选择。一是左行过步云桥，乘索道登山。天堂寨客运索道，全长1500米，上站与下站高差450米，采用单线循环固定抱索器双人吊厢方式运载客人，在索道吊箱里看瀑布，又是别一番景象。索道上站直达海拔1605米的天屏峰。“要看天堂风光景，神仙最爱架空行”。若大家愿意体验爬山的感觉，感受天堂寨的雄险，那我们就继续沿着石级前行吧!沿右首石级而上是“泻玉瀑”的顶端，水旁的这个景点名曰：“瑶池”，为一淘蚀洞穴，椭园形，深约1米，是新构造运动的遗迹。岩石中两组交汇的裂隙，在流水并夹带砂石的冲刷、磨蚀下形成旋涡，久而久之形成洞穴。
右首向西北这登山石级，是通向“龙剑峰”景区的。龙剑峰景色雄伟壮观。我们可以沿阶直接登临龙剑峰，但今天我们先顺着瀑布走上去，从龙剑峰下山，也给大家省点力气。
好，我们继续往上走。看，瀑布群景区的第四道瀑布—淑女瀑到了，瀑高57米，宽10—16米，为常年流水瀑布。流水顺着二长花岗岩斜节理面飘逸而下，注入潭中，晶莹碧透。水流石壁形成曲线分明的三宽二窄，宛如身着长裙的少女在林海深处起舞。
再往上攀登。我们现在站在“听风桥”上，看，瀑布群景区的第五道瀑布—银弓瀑展示在我们面前了。此瀑落差68米，宽11—15米，为二阶常年流水瀑布，流水沿二长花岗岩斜节理面滑落而下，注入约100平方米的深潭中，潭中可见大鲵(娃娃鱼)，此瀑恰似一张蓄箭待发的银弓，以绿树繁花作掩护，正寻找欲射的目标，气势多么的壮观啊!
往上走，走过“听风桥”。这里便是“碓窝岗”。传说此处为徐寿辉等农民起义军宿营和制粮的场所。周围松涛阵阵、泉水声声，好似义军在碓窝里加工米粮的撞击声，又似武士们向敌阵冲锋的怒吼。
再往上走，便是“天坪”了。朋友们缓缓前行，可看原始森林植被垂直分布的美妙景观。这一大片，长的全是杜鹃花，我们称作“杜鹃坪”，杜鹃花属杜鹃花科，常绿或半常绿灌木。花冠宽呈漏斗状，玫瑰红色，深浅不一，春(3—5月)秋(9—10月)两季均开放，按其品种不同可分为：黄山杜鹃、天目杜鹃、云锦杜鹃等。成彦雄《杜鹃花诗》云：“杜鹃花与鸟，怨艳两何赊。疑是口中血，滴成枝上花。”在林间岩际，野芳幽香，红葩遍山，犹若锦屏，煞是美艳。
这一大片，长的全是黄山松，我们称作“黄山松坪”。黄山松为松科松属常绿乔木，树冠伞形，一年生小枝黄褐色或暗红褐色，无毛，叶两针一束。黄山松姿态坚韧傲然，美丽奇特，但生长的环境十分艰苦，因而生长速度异常缓慢，一棵高不盈丈的黄山松，往往树龄上百年，甚至数百年;根部常常比树干长几倍、几十倍，由于根部很深，黄山松能坚强地立于岩石之上，虽历风霜雨雪却依然永葆青春。
这一大片，长的全是箬竹，我们称作“箬竹坪”。箬竹秆高1—1。5m，直径0。5—0。7cm，中部节长10—20cm，微具毛，节下有淡黄色粉质毛环。箬竹实用价值较高：秆可作笔杆、竹筷;叶可制斗笠、船篷及粽叶等。这一线一大片，长的全是槲栎。我们叫做“槲栎坪”，槲栎，落叶乔木，高达30米，是北亚热带与南暖温带交汇的典型植物。
它们片与片之间，界线分明，整齐划一。这是大自然的杰作啊!
走过天坪，现在我们到了索道的上站及其两端的天屏峰一线。天屏峰一线从盆景园——天成石佛全长3公里，原是为了防火，人工将树木砍去留下的一条防火道，又是皖鄂两省的分界线。“一脚踏两省，放眼望江淮。”西南而视，荆楚大地，尽收眼底。回望东北，茫茫林海。天屏峰位于瀑布群景区西侧，索道终端，皖鄂交界处，海拔高度为1605米。站在此处，可观赏到金狮啸天、剪刀石、老君赴会、情侣峰、梦笔生花、神龟石、情侣龟、青蛙望月等景点。如此众多的景观是形成于1。3亿年前的花岗岩体经长期构造抬升、风化剥蚀等地质作用形成的花岗岩峰丛地貌和象形石景观。
顺着皖鄂两省交界线，往东可以去天堂寨主峰，天堂寨主峰大别山主峰之一，海拔1729。13米。峰体岩石为斑状黑云二长花岗岩。一座孤零零的山冈上有块巨石，名叫“插旗石”，因巨石中间有一个碗口粗的石眼，记载为元末农民起义军徐寿辉的大旗就插在那儿。由于时间的关系，我们不去主峰了，下面我沿交界线往西行。
这一带统称盆景园。悬崖之间，奇松千姿百态;沟壑之上，异石奇形怪状，脚下奇花异卉微微含笑。
朋友们!看，那是情侣峰，此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。两石齐秀，并肩，状似情侣。瞧，一对热恋的情侣正在相互拥抱、甜蜜的接吻呢!再往下看，左边前方的那块附在山体上的巨石，那是“情侣龟”。此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。千年老龟也效仿情侣，已经坠入爱河不能自拔了，大小二龟成攀登状，意欲走近情侣峰。它是花岗岩体经长期风化、剥蚀而成。大家可不要惊动它们哟，你看旁边的那只天蝉都不忍打扰它们，停止了鸣噪哩。朋友们!这个景点就叫“白象戏水”。为花岗岩体经亿万年的风化剥蚀而形成的象形石。
现在，我们就到了吴楚亭。这里，海拔高度1660米。站在吴楚亭上，江淮大地尽收眼底，花岗岩峰丛地貌雄中见奇。远观300度方向可见卧虎山之威，320度方向可观鲸鱼出海之奇，20度方向可看白马峰之峻。请朋友们先看左前方的远山，名为“金狮啸天”，远视形象逼真，为二长花岗岩沿节理崩塌而成。
把视线拉近一点，左下方的“梦笔生花”，别小看它，那可是一棵树龄两百多年的黄山松，顽强的扎根于岩石上，生生不息，这就是黄山松精神。
继续西行，顺着我右手的前方是骆驼峰，由二长花岗岩三组节理因风化剥蚀重力崩塌而成。形似骆驼，故得此名。
朋友们!请再停下脚步，看到前方那尊背依绝壁、仰视长空的雕像了吗?大自然的鬼斧神工凿就天成石佛。背依绝壁，仰视长空，正在为江淮大地百姓祈求安康。此为二长花岗岩，约1。3亿年。岩石中垂直节理发育，属重力崩塌、风化剥蚀作用下形成的象形石。
年轻的朋友和我一起从龙剑峰景区徒步下山，其他人原路返回，从天屏峰可乘座索道下山，我们在山下的停车场集合。
龙剑峰位于天屏峰与泻玉瀑之间，整座山峰以石为骨体，其形酷似一柄巨剑，故名龙剑峰。龙剑峰集奇松、怪石、绝壁为一体，以险、奇着称，特别是过龙脊背时，必须手脚并用。在这条游览线上，我们除了龙剑峰上探险之外，沿途还将饱览西边洼核心保护区原始森林的风光。
首先我们一起穿过林海长廊，在这段路上我们正好可以稍作体力恢复，接着我们就要征服龙剑峰!
诸位朋友，植物是大自然的制氧工厂，一亩森林每天可吸收67公斤二氧化碳，制造49公斤氧气，足够65人呼吸之用。同时，植物还是大自然的消毒员，一亩松树林每昼夜可以分泌2公斤有机杀菌素，其他植物所释放的气体中也往往含有杀菌物质。植物还是大自然的消音器，它的叶、茎可以吸收噪音，在方圆一亩的森林中心，几乎听不到外面汽车的马达声。此外，植物的绿色还利于视觉器官疾病的康复。总之，植被覆盖率高的地区所具有的清新空气、静谧的环境和悦目的色彩，有利于人的健康。
看，这棵黄山松叫同胞松，又叫三友松。三松如同胞兄弟扎根于二长花岗岩垂直节理中，故称同胞松，亦如三个朋友，久久相聚，难以割舍。
我们继续前行。看，在这约15平方米平台上(意为“银台”)，一枝独秀的黄山松形似“蜡烛”，二者巧妙组合而成“银台烛花”。坐在这个平台上，请大家看右前方：松与石相偎相依，相应成景，恰似一对情侣相拥相伴，诉说着彼此的爱恋，这就是松石恋，愿天下有情人就象他们一样相依相偎，永不分离。
这里就是“龙脊背”。此处岩性为中粒二长花岗岩，脊背长28米，最窄处约0。3米，脊背两侧岩石沿斜节理面因重力崩塌、滑落而成，岩体陡峻壮观。此处为龙剑峰险要之处，长约20米、宽不足1米的山脊，两旁均为万丈深渊。在通过龙脊背时，请大家不要相距过近，注意脚下，不要朝两边张望;如有人恐高，不妨手脚并用，匍匐前进，亦别有情趣。
各位朋友!不论大家的行姿如何，我们终于安全通过了“龙脊背”。着名老作家冯牧先生说得好：在登高揽胜、涉探险幽中，我们所经历的危险和艰苦，总是从绮丽的自然风光那里获得了报偿。我想，此刻大家一定会有冯老一样的感觉的。
诸位朋友一定注意到了，这里的护栏铁链上有许多连心锁。“连心锁处锁连心，锁住情缘永不分”。诸位朋友，如果您准备好连心锁，可以在此永结同心，百年好合，松龟为证。请看，这块巨石形似神龟，高昂着头颅，旁边还有一棵百年以上的古松树与之相依为命，这就是“松龟同寿”。此龟石岩性为中粒二长花岗岩，为水平节理及风化剥蚀作用而成。这里是摄影极佳处。我们在这里可休息一会，向两边眺望浩瀚的林海风光。但大家在摄影之时仍不能忘却“安全”二字。
各位朋友!大家知道，蜀道难，难于上青天。我们今天可让大家体验蜀道之难的感受?这里叫“天梯”，近乎90度，因为我们今天是沿路下山，所以我们在下“天梯”。请大家不要争先恐后，一定要抓稳铁链和护栏，手脚并用，小心脚下。
我们现在来到了天铸地造的“雷劈石”。这块巨石约300立方米，花岗岩中两组走向分别为100°和190°倾角近似直立且垂直相交，张开裂度约0。5米，是在风化剥蚀和重力作用下形成的地质景观，为重力作用所成。非民间传说此处岩石的张裂是因雷劈所致。
诸位请看这里还有一棵古松，其因根部盘根错节，形似祥龙腾云驾雾，所以被老百姓称作“蟠龙松”。沿右手我们很快就可到达我们来时经过的“瑶池”;沿左手我们可直接到九影瀑，沿途有独树一帜景点及千年香果树等国家保护的珍稀树种。
仁者乐山，智者乐水。现在让我们体验一下峡谷的迷人风姿吧!
峡谷景区位于龙井河的上游，离景区大门仅500米，全长6公里，现已开发，南起天然画廊，北至园区管理处，全长1960米。
天堂寨花岗岩自1。3亿年前侵入后，地壳发生了较强烈的构造运动，沿里南河一线发生岩层断裂，在以后漫长的地质演化过程中，经流水下切冲刷、风化剥蚀等因素综合作用，形成了峡谷地貌。
峡谷天凿地造，气象万千。谷内深潭遍布，间有瀑布，迥异神秘，看如银龙飞舞，听似万马奔腾;溪涧怪石散布，或如群象戏水，或如珍珠散落;谷旁植被茂密，郁郁葱葱，可听林海涛声，可闻珍禽啼鸣;空气清新，景致如画，风光旖旎。
峡谷谷底较宽，两岸多为陡立的悬崖峭壁，是较典型的“u”型谷。谷底出露的岩层为深度变质的大别杂岩和花岗岩，景观丰富多彩。
峡谷之旅，是徜徉在山水画廊间的仙境之旅，科学之旅，休闲之旅。幽雅的峡谷景观令你心旷神怡，潺潺流水伴你一路欢歌。
神仙居：为一巨型花岗岩滚石。岩石沿节理面倾伏，形成巨岩下数十平方米的空间，游人在岩下休憩，如神仙般的享受。
片麻状长花岗岩：为距今1。3亿年燕山期岩浆活动产物。岩石为灰白色、浅肉红色，似斑状结构，片麻状构造。主要矿物成份为钾长石、斜长石和石英。
龙眼：为一淘蚀洞穴。由片麻状二长花岗岩两组节理交汇部位因水动力作用夹带砾石磨蚀河床而成。
天然城墙：由岩石中水平节理和垂直节理巧妙共声迭合。
白龙过江：宽约0。5米的花岗岩岩脉沿张裂缝充填于条带状角闪斜长片麻岩之中。乳白色岩脉跨过溪流，犹如白龙过江。
脉岩：脉岩是岩浆活动过程中一定阶段的产物，是一种具有特殊形态的侵入体，充填在裂隙内，多呈脉状产出，所以称为脉岩。此处脉岩充填在距今约1。3亿年的中粒二长花岗岩裂隙中。
九龙壁：于石壁之上，见九条平行排列的花岗岩插入片麻之中，岩脉宽约1米左右。形似九条白龙挂壁，故称九龙壁。
天然画廊：河底出露岩石为古老的变质岩—大别杂岩，其形成距今约26亿年。白色条带蜿蜒曲折，它们是由长石、石英等浅色矿物组成。黑色团块和条带由角闪石、辉石等暗色矿物组成。它们是在地壳深处经强烈的构造运动形成的。黑白搭配的岩石如与幅山水画卷平铺河底，规模之大，实为罕见。
好了，我们今天的讲解就先到这里，大家可以自行活动，但是一定要注意安全，安全第一。
各位女士、各位先生：
首先，对大家来天堂寨旅游、观光表示热烈欢迎!
天堂寨位于大别山腹地，六安市金寨县的西南部，东南部与湖北英山县接壤，西南与湖北罗田县毗邻。系长江与淮河的分水岭，淮河的主要源头。主峰天堂寨海拔1729。13米，为大别山主峰之一。景区面积120平方公里，有1000米以上的高峰33座，1500米以上的高峰15座。1987年，天堂寨经政府批准为第一批省级风景名胜区;1992年，经林业部批准为国家森林公园;1998年，经国务院批准为国家级自然保护区;XX年8月，包括天堂寨园区在内的安徽大别山(六安)被国土资源部批准为国家地质公园，天堂寨为大别山地质公园主园区;XX年被批建为国家4a级旅游景区。
天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96。5%，位居我国风景名胜区的前列，它保留了华东最后一片原始森林。动植物资源十分丰富，生态系统保持相当完整，它的资源特点可概括为四句话，这就是：森林物种珍稀，瀑布景观壮美，山石盆景奇妙，空气清馨宜人。
天堂寨在隋朝以前名“衡山”，唐代称“多云山”，明代以后改为“天堂寨”。自春秋战国迄至新中国建立前，历代都有英雄豪杰在此筑寨练兵，反抗暴政。元至正十一年，农民领袖徐寿辉在此揭竿起义，反抗元朝统治，改“天塘寨”为“天堂寨”，从此大别山腹地就有了称作“天堂寨”雄而博大的山峰。
天堂寨园区共有5个景区组成，即：瀑布群景区;圣卦峰景区;白马峰景区;造钱坳景区;峡谷景区。
天堂寨风景区有 120平方公里的地域。这儿以原始次生林为主，间有奇松、怪石、云海、龙潭、飞瀑，是集旅游、疗养、度假、避暑、科研、教学为一体的胜地。天堂寨兼有我国山岳型风景名胜“北雄南秀”的两大特点，属于南暖温带和北亚热带的过渡区。这里是许多南方植物种类分布的北界，又是许多北方植物种类分布的南界，是华东、华中、华北三大植物体系的交汇点。据专家初步考察，本区有野生维管束植物173科，648属，共计1882种。其中世界性种属28个、少种属77个、中国特有种属16个。
天堂寨的主要亮点是水，其清洌甘甜，ph 值为6。7，为地表一级饮用山泉水。“东南第一清白地，山是本色水是源”这是对天堂寨水的真诚赞美。天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96。5%;它的年降水量约在2200毫米，而又地处大别山北坡，年蒸发量1840毫米，加上地形雨频频降落，有时一天要下几场。因此在半径2公里范围内形成了五个接力式瀑布的瀑布群景观，华东地区实属罕见。有诗云“踏遍黄峨岱与庐，唯有天堂水最佳”。
现在我们的汽车就行走在去瀑布群景区的6。3公里的盘山公路上。请大家看我们的左前方，这是海拔1480米的白马峰。山峰西侧千米绝壁，万丈深渊;山脊上岩石裸露，雄奇险峻。岩性为二长花岗岩。由马鞍、马背和马尾构成，绵延数十里。头部在湖北的英山县，面对我们的是它的臀部。有“马尾晴雪”、“鞍峰夕照”、“蓬莱方舟”等景点。每当暴雨之后，流泉形成飞瀑，淡雾幻为白云，白马顿时在天空腾飞!
白马峰的左首有马尾平湖、仙人桥、仙人洞、瓢儿洞、擂鼓石、风动石等主要景点。特别是瓢儿洞，洞宽9米，深达18米，高约2。4米，可容纳100余人。古为兵家屯兵之地，今可作野营休息之的极佳场所。夏日，凉风习习，野花香浓;冬日，冰柱交挂，五彩缤纷。白马峰目前正在规划开发中，不久将揭开她那神秘的面纱供游人探访。
虎形地到了，这儿是进入瀑布群景区的门户，有停车场和多处接待服务设施。此处山高林密，篁竹萧萧，唐朝诗人王维诗曰“独坐幽篁里，弹琴复长啸。林深人不知，明月来相照”。
沿着石级前行，我们就来到了瀑布群景区，飞瀑龙潭是天堂寨的中心景观。天堂寨园区断层纵横，花岗岩体中各类节理、裂隙发育，经过长期的风化剥蚀、崩塌滚落、流水冲刷，于峡谷中形成了一道道断崖，为瀑布的形成提供了基本的条件。
未谋其面，先闻其声。听到轰隆隆的水声了吗?这就是瀑布群景区中第一个瀑布——九影瀑的轰鸣。九影瀑为常年流水瀑布，瀑高71米，宽约8米，为岩性差异及断层作用形成，瀑布底端二长花岗岩呈岩床侵入到角闪斜长片麻岩中，下有深潭，潭面约500平方米，终年不涸，瀑布水帘凌空而下，响声轰鸣。(瀑布是河流流经局部呈悬崖式河床时一种河水倾泻现象。规模较小的叫跌水。瀑布有较强的淘蚀作用)。看到此瀑我们真切体会到了李白的名句“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天”的真正含义。朋友们!站在这儿你觉得心胸特别舒爽吗?这一带大气中的负氧离子含量高达16个国际单位/立方米，是一处天然森林浴之地。请大家到上面的“观瀑亭”去看看，去河上的“逍遥桥”走走，抓紧呼吸吧，做深呼吸，享受一下大自然的恩赐!
我们继续向上攀行。漫步在这林荫小道上，路两旁有很多珍稀植物，如紫茎、鸡爪槭、朵椒、天目木姜子、交让木、四照花、白梓等等，都是很名贵的呢!“良好的森林植被，南北方气候的过度带，天然混交林为主的原始森林，四季不息的飞瀑流泉”。
看，瀑布群中的第二道瀑布—情人瀑到了，这道瀑布高44米，宽10—15米，为断崖型瀑布，潭下可见大小不等的二长花岗岩，岩体中的大别杂岩捕虏体(捕虏体：地下岩浆在侵入过程中捕获的周围岩石碎块)。此瀑水势柔和，几度折叠，乘势而下，宛如少女正在拨弄她那秀美的头发。有诗曰：“瀑翠相侍老，渡船修千年”。朋友们抬头再看对面，一棵巨大的毛栗树上，蓬蓬勃勃地生长着一棵小松树。飞籽成林，是山区植物繁衍的通常办法。这也是一景，我们称它为“节外生枝”，天堂寨的植物就是这般奇妙!
让我们继续攀登。已经走过200级石阶了。路旁这是剑劈石，此石高8米，中间缝隙仅10厘米。传说是八仙之一的吕洞宾剑劈狐狸精留下的剑痕。事实是，在地质上它是岩石中一组平行的节理因风化剥蚀和重力作用而形成。(节理：岩石中产生的较平直破裂面，并且两侧岩石没有发生相对位移或仅有微量位移)
朋友们!瀑布群中第三道瀑布—泻玉瀑到了，此瀑高62米，宽12米，为常年流水瀑，水流其上滚珠泻玉，下跌至石坪上，恰似海浪翻卷白雪，站在此处，俯看绿树染百嶂，仰视银河来九天。
由泻玉瀑这儿登山，线路有两种选择。一是左行过步云桥，乘索道登山。天堂寨客运索道，全长1500米，上站与下站高差450米，采用单线循环固定抱索器双人吊厢方式运载客人，在索道吊箱里看瀑布，又是别一番景象。索道上站直达海拔1605米的天屏峰。“要看天堂风光景，神仙最爱架空行”。若大家愿意体验爬山的感觉，感受天堂寨的雄险，那我们就继续沿着石级前行吧!沿右首石级而上是“泻玉瀑”的顶端，水旁的这个景点名曰：“瑶池”，为一淘蚀洞穴，椭园形，深约1米，是新构造运动的遗迹。岩石中两组交汇的裂隙，在流水并夹带砂石的冲刷、磨蚀下形成旋涡，久而久之形成洞穴。
右首向西北这登山石级，是通向“龙剑峰”景区的。龙剑峰景色雄伟壮观。我们可以沿阶直接登临龙剑峰，但今天我们先顺着瀑布走上去，从龙剑峰下山，也给大家省点力气。
好，我们继续往上走。看，瀑布群景区的第四道瀑布—淑女瀑到了，瀑高57米，宽10—16米，为常年流水瀑布。流水顺着二长花岗岩斜节理面飘逸而下，注入潭中，晶莹碧透。水流石壁形成曲线分明的三宽二窄，宛如身着长裙的少女在林海深处起舞。
再往上攀登。我们现在站在“听风桥”上，看，瀑布群景区的第五道瀑布—银弓瀑展示在我们面前了。此瀑落差68米，宽11—15米，为二阶常年流水瀑布，流水沿二长花岗岩斜节理面滑落而下，注入约100平方米的深潭中，潭中可见大鲵(娃娃鱼)，此瀑恰似一张蓄箭待发的银弓，以绿树繁花作掩护，正寻找欲射的目标，气势多么的壮观啊!
往上走，走过“听风桥”。这里便是“碓窝岗”。传说此处为徐寿辉等农民起义军宿营和制粮的场所。周围松涛阵阵、泉水声声，好似义军在碓窝里加工米粮的撞击声，又似武士们向敌阵冲锋的怒吼。
再往上走，便是“天坪”了。朋友们缓缓前行，可看原始森林植被垂直分布的美妙景观。这一大片，长的全是杜鹃花，我们称作“杜鹃坪”，杜鹃花属杜鹃花科，常绿或半常绿灌木。花冠宽呈漏斗状，玫瑰红色，深浅不一，春(3—5月)秋(9—10月)两季均开放，按其品种不同可分为：黄山杜鹃、天目杜鹃、云锦杜鹃等。成彦雄《杜鹃花诗》云：“杜鹃花与鸟，怨艳两何赊。疑是口中血，滴成枝上花。”在林间岩际，野芳幽香，红葩遍山，犹若锦屏，煞是美艳。
这一大片，长的全是黄山松，我们称作“黄山松坪”。黄山松为松科松属常绿乔木，树冠伞形，一年生小枝黄褐色或暗红褐色，无毛，叶两针一束。黄山松姿态坚韧傲然，美丽奇特，但生长的环境十分艰苦，因而生长速度异常缓慢，一棵高不盈丈的黄山松，往往树龄上百年，甚至数百年;根部常常比树干长几倍、几十倍，由于根部很深，黄山松能坚强地立于岩石之上，虽历风霜雨雪却依然永葆青春。
这一大片，长的全是箬竹，我们称作“箬竹坪”。箬竹秆高1—1。5m，直径0。5—0。7cm，中部节长10—20cm，微具毛，节下有淡黄色粉质毛环。箬竹实用价值较高：秆可作笔杆、竹筷;叶可制斗笠、船篷及粽叶等。这一线一大片，长的全是槲栎。我们叫做“槲栎坪”，槲栎，落叶乔木，高达30米，是北亚热带与南暖温带交汇的典型植物。
它们片与片之间，界线分明，整齐划一。这是大自然的杰作啊!
走过天坪，现在我们到了索道的上站及其两端的天屏峰一线。天屏峰一线从盆景园——天成石佛全长3公里，原是为了防火，人工将树木砍去留下的一条防火道，又是皖鄂两省的分界线。“一脚踏两省，放眼望江淮。”西南而视，荆楚大地，尽收眼底。回望东北，茫茫林海。天屏峰位于瀑布群景区西侧，索道终端，皖鄂交界处，海拔高度为1605米。站在此处，可观赏到金狮啸天、剪刀石、老君赴会、情侣峰、梦笔生花、神龟石、情侣龟、青蛙望月等景点。如此众多的景观是形成于1。3亿年前的花岗岩体经长期构造抬升、风化剥蚀等地质作用形成的花岗岩峰丛地貌和象形石景观。
顺着皖鄂两省交界线，往东可以去天堂寨主峰，天堂寨主峰大别山主峰之一，海拔1729。13米。峰体岩石为斑状黑云二长花岗岩。一座孤零零的山冈上有块巨石，名叫“插旗石”，因巨石中间有一个碗口粗的石眼，记载为元末农民起义军徐寿辉的大旗就插在那儿。由于时间的关系，我们不去主峰了，下面我沿交界线往西行。
这一带统称盆景园。悬崖之间，奇松千姿百态;沟壑之上，异石奇形怪状，脚下奇花异卉微微含笑。
朋友们!看，那是情侣峰，此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。两石齐秀，并肩，状似情侣。瞧，一对热恋的情侣正在相互拥抱、甜蜜的接吻呢!再往下看，左边前方的那块附在山体上的巨石，那是“情侣龟”。此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。千年老龟也效仿情侣，已经坠入爱河不能自拔了，大小二龟成攀登状，意欲走近情侣峰。它是花岗岩体经长期风化、剥蚀而成。大家可不要惊动它们哟，你看旁边的那只天蝉都不忍打扰它们，停止了鸣噪哩。朋友们!这个景点就叫“白象戏水”。为花岗岩体经亿万年的风化剥蚀而形成的象形石。
现在，我们就到了吴楚亭。这里，海拔高度1660米。站在吴楚亭上，江淮大地尽收眼底，花岗岩峰丛地貌雄中见奇。远观300度方向可见卧虎山之威，320度方向可观鲸鱼出海之奇，20度方向可看白马峰之峻。请朋友们先看左前方的远山，名为“金狮啸天”，远视形象逼真，为二长花岗岩沿节理崩塌而成。
把视线拉近一点，左下方的“梦笔生花”，别小看它，那可是一棵树龄两百多年的黄山松，顽强的扎根于岩石上，生生不息，这就是黄山松精神。
继续西行，顺着我右手的前方是骆驼峰，由二长花岗岩三组节理因风化剥蚀重力崩塌而成。形似骆驼，故得此名。
朋友们!请再停下脚步，看到前方那尊背依绝壁、仰视长空的雕像了吗?大自然的鬼斧神工凿就天成石佛。背依绝壁，仰视长空，正在为江淮大地百姓祈求安康。此为二长花岗岩，约1。3亿年。岩石中垂直节理发育，属重力崩塌、风化剥蚀作用下形成的象形石。
年轻的朋友和我一起从龙剑峰景区徒步下山，其他人原路返回，从天屏峰可乘座索道下山，我们在山下的停车场集合。

首先我们一起穿过林海长廊，在这段路上我们正好可以稍作体力恢复，接着我们就要征服龙剑峰!
诸位朋友，植物是大自然的制氧工厂，一亩森林每天可吸收67公斤二氧化碳，制造49公斤氧气，足够65人呼吸之用。同时，植物还是大自然的消毒员，一亩松树林每昼夜可以分泌2公斤有机杀菌素，其他植物所释放的气体中也往往含有杀菌物质。植物还是大自然的消音器，它的叶、茎可以吸收噪音，在方圆一亩的森林中心，几乎听不到外面汽车的马达声。此外，植物的绿色还利于视觉器官疾病的康复。总之，植被覆盖率高的地区所具有的清新空气、静谧的环境和悦目的色彩，有利于人的健康。
看，这棵黄山松叫同胞松，又叫三友松。三松如同胞兄弟扎根于二长花岗岩垂直节理中，故称同胞松，亦如三个朋友，久久相聚，难以割舍。
我们继续前行。看，在这约15平方米平台上(意为“银台”)，一枝独秀的黄山松形似“蜡烛”，二者巧妙组合而成“银台烛花”。坐在这个平台上，请大家看右前方：松与石相偎相依，相应成景，恰似一对情侣相拥相伴，诉说着彼此的爱恋，这就是松石恋，愿天下有情人就象他们一样相依相偎，永不分离。
这里就是“龙脊背”。此处岩性为中粒二长花岗岩，脊背长28米，最窄处约0。3米，脊背两侧岩石沿斜节理面因重力崩塌、滑落而成，岩体陡峻壮观。此处为龙剑峰险要之处，长约20米、宽不足1米的山脊，两旁均为万丈深渊。在通过龙脊背时，请大家不要相距过近，注意脚下，不要朝两边张望;如有人恐高，不妨手脚并用，匍匐前进，亦别有情趣。
各位朋友!不论大家的行姿如何，我们终于安全通过了“龙脊背”。着名老作家冯牧先生说得好：在登高揽胜、涉探险幽中，我们所经历的危险和艰苦，总是从绮丽的自然风光那里获得了报偿。我想，此刻大家一定会有冯老一样的感觉的。
诸位朋友一定注意到了，这里的护栏铁链上有许多连心锁。“连心锁处锁连心，锁住情缘永不分”。诸位朋友，如果您准备好连心锁，可以在此永结同心，百年好合，松龟为证。请看，这块巨石形似神龟，高昂着头颅，旁边还有一棵百年以上的古松树与之相依为命，这就是“松龟同寿”。此龟石岩性为中粒二长花岗岩，为水平节理及风化剥蚀作用而成。这里是摄影极佳处。我们在这里可休息一会，向两边眺望浩瀚的林海风光。但大家在摄影之时仍不能忘却“安全”二字。
各位朋友!大家知道，蜀道难，难于上青天。我们今天可让大家体验蜀道之难的感受?这里叫“天梯”，近乎90度，因为我们今天是沿路下山，所以我们在下“天梯”。请大家不要争先恐后，一定要抓稳铁链和护栏，手脚并用，小心脚下。
我们现在来到了天铸地造的“雷劈石”。这块巨石约300立方米，花岗岩中两组走向分别为100°和190°倾角近似直立且垂直相交，张开裂度约0。5米，是在风化剥蚀和重力作用下形成的地质景观，为重力作用所成。非民间传说此处岩石的张裂是因雷劈所致。
诸位请看这里还有一棵古松，其因根部盘根错节，形似祥龙腾云驾雾，所以被老百姓称作“蟠龙松”。沿右手我们很快就可到达我们来时经过的“瑶池”;沿左手我们可直接到九影瀑，沿途有独树一帜景点及千年香果树等国家保护的珍稀树种。
仁者乐山，智者乐水。现在让我们体验一下峡谷的迷人风姿吧!
峡谷景区位于龙井河的上游，离景区大门仅500米，全长6公里，现已开发，南起天然画廊，北至园区管理处，全长1960米。
天堂寨花岗岩自1。3亿年前侵入后，地壳发生了较强烈的构造运动，沿里南河一线发生岩层断裂，在以后漫长的地质演化过程中，经流水下切冲刷、风化剥蚀等因素综合作用，形成了峡谷地貌。
峡谷天凿地造，气象万千。谷内深潭遍布，间有瀑布，迥异神秘，看如银龙飞舞，听似万马奔腾;溪涧怪石散布，或如群象戏水，或如珍珠散落;谷旁植被茂密，郁郁葱葱，可听林海涛声，可闻珍禽啼鸣;空气清新，景致如画，风光旖旎。
峡谷谷底较宽，两岸多为陡立的悬崖峭壁，是较典型的“u”型谷。谷底出露的岩层为深度变质的大别杂岩和花岗岩，景观丰富多彩。
峡谷之旅，是徜徉在山水画廊间的仙境之旅，科学之旅，休闲之旅。幽雅的峡谷景观令你心旷神怡，潺潺流水伴你一路欢歌。
神仙居：为一巨型花岗岩滚石。岩石沿节理面倾伏，形成巨岩下数十平方米的空间，游人在岩下休憩，如神仙般的享受。
片麻状长花岗岩：为距今1。3亿年燕山期岩浆活动产物。岩石为灰白色、浅肉红色，似斑状结构，片麻状构造。主要矿物成份为钾长石、斜长石和石英。
龙眼：为一淘蚀洞穴。由片麻状二长花岗岩两组节理交汇部位因水动力作用夹带砾石磨蚀河床而成。
天然城墙：由岩石中水平节理和垂直节理巧妙共声迭合。
白龙过江：宽约0。5米的花岗岩岩脉沿张裂缝充填于条带状角闪斜长片麻岩之中。乳白色岩脉跨过溪流，犹如白龙过江。
脉岩：脉岩是岩浆活动过程中一定阶段的产物，是一种具有特殊形态的侵入体，充填在裂隙内，多呈脉状产出，所以称为脉岩。此处脉岩充填在距今约1。3亿年的中粒二长花岗岩裂隙中。
九龙壁：于石壁之上，见九条平行排列的花岗岩插入片麻之中，岩脉宽约1米左右。形似九条白龙挂壁，故称九龙壁。
天然画廊：河底出露岩石为古老的变质岩—大别杂岩，其形成距今约26亿年。白色条带蜿蜒曲折，它们是由长石、石英等浅色矿物组成。黑色团块和条带由角闪石、辉石等暗色矿物组成。它们是在地壳深处经强烈的构造运动形成的。黑白搭配的岩石如与幅山水画卷平铺河底，规模之大，实为罕见。
好了，我们今天的讲解就先到这里，大家可以自行活动，但是一定要注意安全，安全第一。
暑假，去天堂寨旅游。汽车在高速公路上疾驰，路两边是一望无际的花草，还有许多崭新的楼房，太漂亮了。大约行了五个多小时，终于到了我向往已久的天堂寨风景区。风景区的大门像古代的城堡，五颜六色的旗帜迎风招展，好像欢迎我们的到来。我们先来到预订好的宾馆—云瀑山庄。云瀑山庄位于天堂寨风景区正门20米左侧，占地约3000余平米。门前大型停车场停着我们的汽车。我们先在宾馆休息了一会儿，然后向第一个目的地—白马大峡谷出发。
我们走了约500层台阶看到了第一片水，这片水还不算瀑布，只能算是跌水，我们在这照了几张照片，玩了一会水，这里的水真清凉呀!而且清澈透底。我们过了第一个桥—心顺桥。据说拿着红豆过桥代表拥有爱情，黄豆代表财富，绿豆代表健康，青豆代表平安，黑豆代表智慧，紫豆代表官运。我们继续向前走，过了许多桥，看了许多水。又看到白龙潭，据说当年唐僧骑的白龙马原身小白龙就藏在此潭中。我们又走到了栈道上，因为我和爸爸有些恐高，所以没上去，他们在上面又照相又休息，还向我们做鬼脸。接着，走到了溜索，就是一个粗的钢绳，游客双手抓住钢绳，通过滑道，从一座山头滑向另一座山头。我们同行的七八个人除了我和爸爸都飞了过去，一开始我很害怕，在爸爸的鼓励下，又让妈妈飞过来接我，坐的时候真害怕掉下去，真正飞过去了，才发现并没有那么可怕，真是锻炼了我的胆量。
回到宾馆里，我们品尝了当地的特色—黑猪肉，我吃了一口，真香啊!休息片刻，我们又向瀑布群出发，第一个瀑布是九影瀑，九影瀑是常年流水瀑布，瀑高71米，宽约8米，太壮观了!我想爬上去玩，居然摔了一跤，水可真凉呀!像洗了个凉水澡。我刚站起来，就看到一个小妹妹和一个大人也摔倒了，洁白的水花四射，我才发现，摔跤如此美丽。下一个瀑布是情人瀑，落差44米，宽约10—15米，我情不自禁的亲了妈妈一口，爸爸用相机抓拍了。我们走到半山腰，有点累了，就坐了索道飞了上去，中途的风光真是太美了!上到了山顶，我高声喊：“我爱你，天堂寨!”我们又出发了，而这一站，却是回家的路。才刚刚离开天堂寨，心里就又想念天堂寨，想念白马大峡谷，想念瀑布群!
“漫山层林染，银河落九天;幽谷烟云迷，苍松挂崖间。”这诗中描绘的真实意境就是闻名遐迩的国家级森林公园一一天堂寨。天堂寨地处大别山北麓，位于将军的摇篮安徽省六安市金寨县西南部，东南与湖北省英山县接壤，西南与湖北省罗田毗邻，主峰天堂寨雄居鄂皖两省三县结合部，海拔1729.13米，是大别山第二高峰，为江淮分水岭，境内总面积120 平方公里，千米以上高峰就有十四座，有“崖石寨插云间，吴楚东南第一关”之称。在漫长的历史长河中，天堂寨留下了许多古迹，也多次更名中，隋朝以前称为“衡山”，唐朝称“多云山”,因晴日当空，云亦不断而得名，唐朝诗人李颀有“秦淮奉使千余里，敢告云山从此始”，后唐诗人杜牧有“东望云山日夕佳”之千古名句，自元末徐寿辉聚众起义，为寓吉祥之意，改名为“天堂寨”。雄伟博大的天堂寨因其云多、雾重、山高、树密、水碧，形成了风光绮丽无与伦比的自然景观，被誉为生态名山、资源名山、文化名山。天堂寨是华东地区最后一片原始森林，它的森林覆被率高达96.5% , 位居我国所有风景名胜区的第一位。
天堂寨素有“植物的王国、动物的乐园、云雾的海洋、圣水的世界、杜鹃花的领地、娃娃鱼的故乡，旅游休闲、科学考察的佳境”之美誉。景区内峰、石、树、花、云海相映成趣，景色宜人。进入天堂寨，有“我在山里行，赛过做神仙”的意境。天堂寨于1992年被林业部批建为国家级森林公园，1997 年被批准为省级风景名胜区，1998 年被国务院批准为国家级自然保护区，20__ 年被批准为省级旅游扶贫实验区。20__年4 月16 日，安徽旅游集团以市场运作的方式，与金寨县政府搭成合作共识，整体接管天堂寨景区经营权，实现了所有权与经营权的分离。
各位女士、各位先生：
首先，对大家来天堂寨旅游、观光表示热烈欢迎!
天堂寨位于大别山腹地，六安市金寨县的西南部，东南部与湖北英山县接壤，西南与湖北罗田县毗邻。系长江与淮河的分水岭，淮河的主要源头。主峰天堂寨海拔1729.13米，为大别山主峰之一。景区面积120平方公里，有1000米以上的高峰33座，1500米以上的高峰15座。1987年，天堂寨经省政府批准为第一批省级风景名胜区;1992年，经林业部批准为国家森林公园;1998年，经国务院批准为国家级自然保护区;XX年8月，包括天堂寨园区在内的安徽大别山(六安)被国土资源部批准为国家地质公园，天堂寨为大别山地质公园主园区;XX年被批建为国家4a级旅游景区。
天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96.5%，位居我国风景名胜区的前列，它保留了华东最后一片原始森林。动植物资源十分丰富，生态系统保持相当完整，它的资源特点可概括为四句话，这就是：森林物种珍稀，瀑布景观壮美，山石盆景奇妙，空气清馨宜人。
天堂寨在隋朝以前名“衡山”，唐代称“多云山”，明代以后改为“天堂寨”。自春秋战国迄至新中国建立前，历代都有英雄豪杰在此筑寨练兵，反抗暴政。元至正十一年，农民领袖徐寿辉在此揭竿起义，反抗元朝统治，改“天塘寨”为“天堂寨”，从此大别山腹地就有了称作“天堂寨”雄而博大的山峰。
天堂寨园区共有5个景区组成，即：瀑布群景区;圣卦峰景区;白马峰景区;造钱坳景区;峡谷景区。
天堂寨风景区有 120平方公里的地域。这儿以原始次生林为主，间有奇松、怪石、云海、龙潭、飞瀑，是集旅游、疗养、度假、避暑、科研、教学为一体的胜地。天堂寨兼有我国山岳型风景名胜“北雄南秀”的两大特点，属于南暖温带和北亚热带的过渡区。这里是许多南方植物种类分布的北界，又是许多北方植物种类分布的南界，是华东、华中、华北三大植物体系的交汇点。据专家初步考察，本区有野生维管束植物173科，648属，共计1882种。其中世界性种属28个、少种属77个、中国特有种属16个。
天堂寨的主要亮点是水，其清洌甘甜，ph 值为6.7，为地表一级饮用山泉水。“东南第一清白地，山是本色水是源”这是对天堂寨水的真诚赞美。天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96.5%;它的年降水量约在2200毫米，而又地处大别山北坡，年蒸发量1840毫米，加上地形雨频频降落，有时一天要下几场。因此在半径2公里范围内形成了五个接力式瀑布的瀑布群景观，华东地区实属罕见。有诗云“踏遍黄峨岱与庐，唯有天堂水最佳”。
现在我们的汽车就行走在去瀑布群景区的6.3公里的盘山公路上。请大家看我们的左前方，这是海拔1480米的白马峰。山峰西侧千米绝壁，万丈深渊;山脊上岩石裸露，雄奇险峻。岩性为二长花岗岩。由马鞍、马背和马尾构成，绵延数十里。头部在湖北的英山县，面对我们的是它的臀部。有“马尾晴雪”、“鞍峰夕照”、“蓬莱方舟”等景点。每当暴雨之后，流泉形成飞瀑，淡雾幻为白云，白马顿时在天空腾飞!
白马峰的左首有马尾平湖、仙人桥、仙人洞、瓢儿洞、擂鼓石、风动石等主要景点。特别是瓢儿洞，洞宽9米，深达18米，高约2.4米，可容纳100余人。古为兵家屯兵之地，今可作野营休息之的极佳场所。夏日，凉风习习，野花香浓;冬日，冰柱交挂，五彩缤纷。白马峰目前正在规划开发中，不久将揭开她那神秘的面纱供游人探访。
虎形地到了，这儿是进入瀑布群景区的门户，有停车场和多处接待服务设施。此处山高林密，篁竹萧萧，唐朝诗人王维诗曰“独坐幽篁里，弹琴复长啸。林深人不知，明月来相照”。
沿着石级前行，我们就来到了瀑布群景区，飞瀑龙潭是天堂寨的中心景观。天堂寨园区断层纵横，花岗岩体中各类节理、裂隙发育，经过长期的风化剥蚀、崩塌滚落、流水冲刷，于峡谷中形成了一道道断崖，为瀑布的形成提供了基本的条件。
未谋其面，先闻其声。听到轰隆隆的水声了吗?这就是瀑布群景区中第一个瀑布——九影瀑的轰鸣。九影瀑为常年流水瀑布，瀑高71米，宽约8米，为岩性差异及断层作用形成，瀑布底端二长花岗岩呈岩床侵入到角闪斜长片麻岩中，下有深潭，潭面约500平方米，终年不涸，瀑布水帘凌空而下，响声轰鸣。(瀑布是河流流经局部呈悬崖式河床时一种河水倾泻现象。规模较小的叫跌水。瀑布有较强的淘蚀作用)。看到此瀑我们真切体会到了李白的名句“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天”的真正含义。朋友们!站在这儿你觉得心胸特别舒爽吗?这一带大气中的负氧离子含量高达16个国际单位/立方米，是一处天然森林浴之地。请大家到上面的“观瀑亭”去看看，去河上的“逍遥桥”走走，抓紧呼吸吧，做深呼吸，享受一下大自然的恩赐!
我们继续向上攀行。漫步在这林荫小道上，路两旁有很多珍稀植物，如紫茎、鸡爪槭、朵椒、天目木姜子、交让木、四照花、白梓等等，都是很名贵的呢!“良好的森林植被，南北方气候的过度带，天然混交林为主的原始森林，四季不息的飞瀑流泉”。
看，瀑布群中的第二道瀑布—情人瀑到了，这道瀑布高44米，宽10—15米，为断崖型瀑布，潭下可见大小不等的二长花岗岩，岩体中的大别杂岩捕虏体(捕虏体：地下岩浆在侵入过程中捕获的周围岩石碎块)。此瀑水势柔和，几度折叠，乘势而下，宛如少女正在拨弄她那秀美的头发。有诗曰：“瀑翠相侍老，渡船修千年”。朋友们抬头再看对面，一棵巨大的毛栗树上，蓬蓬勃勃地生长着一棵小松树。飞籽成林，是山区植物繁衍的通常办法。这也是一景，我们称它为“节外生枝”，天堂寨的植物就是这般奇妙!
让我们继续攀登。已经走过200级石阶了。路旁这是剑劈石，此石高8米，中间缝隙仅10厘米。传说是八仙之一的吕洞宾剑劈狐狸精留下的剑痕。事实是，在地质上它是岩石中一组平行的节理因风化剥蚀和重力作用而形成。(节理：岩石中产生的较平直破裂面，并且两侧岩石没有发生相对位移或仅有微量位移)
朋友们!瀑布群中第三道瀑布—泻玉瀑到了，此瀑高62米，宽12米，为常年流水瀑，水流其上滚珠泻玉，下跌至石坪上，恰似海浪翻卷白雪，站在此处，俯看绿树染百嶂，仰视银河来九天。
由泻玉瀑这儿登山，线路有两种选择。一是左行过步云桥，乘索道登山。天堂寨客运索道，全长1500米，上站与下站高差450米，采用单线循环固定抱索器双人吊厢方式运载客人，在索道吊箱里看瀑布，又是别一番景象。索道上站直达海拔1605米的天屏峰。“要看天堂风光景，神仙最爱架空行”。若大家愿意体验爬山的感觉，感受天堂寨的雄险，那我们就继续沿着石级前行吧!沿右首石级而上是“泻玉瀑”的顶端，水旁的这个景点名曰：“瑶池”，为一淘蚀洞穴，椭园形，深约1米，是新构造运动的遗迹。岩石中两组交汇的裂隙，在流水并夹带砂石的冲刷、磨蚀下形成旋涡，久而久之形成洞穴。
右首向西北这登山石级，是通向“龙剑峰”景区的。龙剑峰景色雄伟壮观。我们可以沿阶直接登临龙剑峰，但今天我们先顺着瀑布走上去，从龙剑峰下山，也给大家省点力气。
好，我们继续往上走。看，瀑布群景区的第四道瀑布—淑女瀑到了，瀑高57米，宽10—16米，为常年流水瀑布。流水顺着二长花岗岩斜节理面飘逸而下，注入潭中，晶莹碧透。水流石壁形成曲线分明的三宽二窄，宛如身着长裙的少女在林海深处起舞。
再往上攀登。我们现在站在“听风桥”上，看，瀑布群景区的第五道瀑布—银弓瀑展示在我们面前了。此瀑落差68米，宽11-15米，为二阶常年流水瀑布，流水沿二长花岗岩斜节理面滑落而下，注入约100平方米的深潭中，潭中可见大鲵(娃娃鱼)，此瀑恰似一张蓄箭待发的银弓，以绿树繁花作掩护，正寻找欲射的目标，气势多么的壮观啊!
往上走，走过“听风桥”。这里便是“碓窝岗”。传说此处为徐寿辉等农民起义军宿营和制粮的场所。周围松涛阵阵、泉水声声，好似义军在碓窝里加工米粮的撞击声，又似武士们向敌阵冲锋的怒吼。
再往上走，便是“天坪”了。朋友们缓缓前行，可看原始森林植被垂直分布的美妙景观。这一大片，长的全是杜鹃花，我们称作“杜鹃坪”，杜鹃花属杜鹃花科，常绿或半常绿灌木。花冠宽呈漏斗状，玫瑰红色，深浅不一，春(3—5月)秋(9—10月)两季均开放，按其品种不同可分为：黄山杜鹃、天目杜鹃、云锦杜鹃等。成彦雄《杜鹃花诗》云：“杜鹃花与鸟，怨艳两何赊。疑是口中血，滴成枝上花。”在林间岩际，野芳幽香，红葩遍山，犹若锦屏，煞是美艳。
这一大片，长的全是黄山松，我们称作“黄山松坪”。黄山松为松科松属常绿乔木，树冠伞形，一年生小枝黄褐色或暗红褐色，无毛，叶两针一束。黄山松姿态坚韧傲然，美丽奇特，但生长的环境十分艰苦，因而生长速度异常缓慢，一棵高不盈丈的黄山松，往往树龄上百年，甚至数百年;根部常常比树干长几倍、几十倍，由于根部很深，黄山松能坚强地立于岩石之上，虽历风霜雨雪却依然永葆青春。
这一大片，长的全是箬竹，我们称作“箬竹坪”。箬竹秆高1-1.5m，直径0.5-0.7cm，中部节长10-20cm，微具毛，节下有淡黄色粉质毛环。箬竹实用价值较高：秆可作笔杆、竹筷;叶可制斗笠、船篷及粽叶等。这一线一大片，长的全是槲栎。我们叫做“槲栎坪”，槲栎，落叶乔木，高达30米，是北亚热带与南暖温带交汇的典型植物。
它们片与片之间，界线分明，整齐划一。这是大自然的杰作啊!
走过天坪，现在我们到了索道的上站及其两端的天屏峰一线。天屏峰一线从盆景园——天成石佛全长3公里，原是为了防火，人工将树木砍去留下的一条防火道，又是皖鄂两省的分界线。“一脚踏两省，放眼望江淮。”西南而视，荆楚大地，尽收眼底。回望东北，茫茫林海。天屏峰位于瀑布群景区西侧，索道终端，皖鄂交界处，海拔高度为1605米。站在此处，可观赏到金狮啸天、剪刀石、老君赴会、情侣峰、梦笔生花、神龟石、情侣龟、青蛙望月等景点。如此众多的景观是形成于1.3亿年前的花岗岩体经长期构造抬升、风化剥蚀等地质作用形成的花岗岩峰丛地貌和象形石景观。
顺着皖鄂两省交界线，往东可以去天堂寨主峰，天堂寨主峰大别山主峰之一，海拔1729.13米。峰体岩石为斑状黑云二长花岗岩。一座孤零零的山冈上有块巨石，名叫“插旗石”，因巨石中间有一个碗口粗的石眼，记载为元末农民起义军徐寿辉的大旗就插在那儿。由于时间的关系，我们不去主峰了，下面我沿交界线往西行。
这一带统称盆景园。悬崖之间，奇松千姿百态;沟壑之上，异石奇形怪状，脚下奇花异卉微微含笑。
朋友们!看，那是情侣峰，此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。两石齐秀，并肩，状似情侣。瞧，一对热恋的情侣正在相互拥抱、甜蜜的接吻呢!再往下看，左边前方的那块附在山体上的巨石，那是“情侣龟”。此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。千年老龟也效仿情侣，已经坠入爱河不能自拔了，大小二龟成攀登状，意欲走近情侣峰。它是花岗岩体经长期风化、剥蚀而成。大家可不要惊动它们哟，你看旁边的那只天蝉都不忍打扰它们，停止了鸣噪哩。朋友们!这个景点就叫“白象戏水”。为花岗岩体经亿万年的风化剥蚀而形成的象形石。
现在，我们就到了吴楚亭。这里，海拔高度1660米。站在吴楚亭上，江淮大地尽收眼底，花岗岩峰丛地貌雄中见奇。远观300度方向可见卧虎山之威，320度方向可观鲸鱼出海之奇，20度方向可看白马峰之峻。请朋友们先看左前方的远山，名为“金狮啸天”，远视形象逼真，为二长花岗岩沿节理崩塌而成。
把视线拉近一点，左下方的“梦笔生花”，别小看它，那可是一棵树龄两百多年的黄山松，顽强的扎根于岩石上，生生不息，这就是黄山松精神。
继续西行，顺着我右手的前方是骆驼峰，由二长花岗岩三组节理因风化剥蚀重力崩塌而成。形似骆驼，故得此名。
朋友们!请再停下脚步，看到前方那尊背依绝壁、仰视长空的雕像了吗?大自然的鬼斧神工凿就天成石佛。背依绝壁，仰视长空，正在为江淮大地百姓祈求安康。此为二长花岗岩，约1.3亿年。岩石中垂直节理发育，属重力崩塌、风化剥蚀作用下形成的象形石。
年轻的朋友和我一起从龙剑峰景区徒步下山，其他人原路返回，从天屏峰可乘座索道下山，我们在山下的停车场集合。
龙剑峰位于天屏峰与泻玉瀑之间，整座山峰以石为骨体，其形酷似一柄巨剑，故名龙剑峰。龙剑峰集奇松、怪石、绝壁为一体，以险、奇着称，特别是过龙脊背时，必须手脚并用。在这条游览线上，我们除了龙剑峰上探险之外，沿途还将饱览西边洼核心保护区原始森林的风光。
首先我们一起穿过林海长廊，在这段路上我们正好可以稍作体力恢复，接着我们就要征服龙剑峰!
诸位朋友，植物是大自然的制氧工厂，一亩森林每天可吸收67公斤二氧化碳，制造49公斤氧气，足够65人呼吸之用。同时，植物还是大自然的消毒员，一亩松树林每昼夜可以分泌2公斤有机杀菌素，其他植物所释放的气体中也往往含有杀菌物质。植物还是大自然的消音器，它的叶、茎可以吸收噪音，在方圆一亩的森林中心，几乎听不到外面汽车的马达声。此外，植物的绿色还利于视觉器官疾病的康复。总之，植被覆盖率高的地区所具有的清新空气、静谧的环境和悦目的色彩，有利于人的健康。
看，这棵黄山松叫同胞松，又叫三友松。三松如同胞兄弟扎根于二长花岗岩垂直节理中，故称同胞松，亦如三个朋友，久久相聚，难以割舍。
我们继续前行。看，在这约15平方米平台上(意为“银台”)，一枝独秀的黄山松形似“蜡烛”，二者巧妙组合而成“银台烛花”。坐在这个平台上，请大家看右前方：松与石相偎相依，相应成景，恰似一对情侣相拥相伴，诉说着彼此的爱恋，这就是松石恋，愿天下有情人就象他们一样相依相偎，永不分离。
这里就是“龙脊背”。此处岩性为中粒二长花岗岩，脊背长28米，最窄处约0.3米，脊背两侧岩石沿斜节理面因重力崩塌、滑落而成，岩体陡峻壮观。此处为龙剑峰险要之处，长约20米、宽不足1米的山脊，两旁均为万丈深渊。在通过龙脊背时，请大家不要相距过近，注意脚下，不要朝两边张望;如有人恐高，不妨手脚并用，匍匐前进，亦别有情趣。
各位朋友!不论大家的行姿如何，我们终于安全通过了“龙脊背”。着名老作家冯牧先生说得好：在登高揽胜、涉探险幽中，我们所经历的危险和艰苦，总是从绮丽的自然风光那里获得了报偿。我想，此刻大家一定会有冯老一样的感觉的。
诸位朋友一定注意到了，这里的护栏铁链上有许多连心锁。“连心锁处锁连心，锁住情缘永不分”。诸位朋友，如果您准备好连心锁，可以在此永结同心，百年好合，松龟为证。请看，这块巨石形似神龟，高昂着头颅，旁边还有一棵百年以上的古松树与之相依为命，这就是“松龟同寿”。此龟石岩性为中粒二长花岗岩，为水平节理及风化剥蚀作用而成。这里是摄影极佳处。我们在这里可休息一会，向两边眺望浩瀚的林海风光。但大家在摄影之时仍不能忘却“安全”二字。
各位朋友!大家知道，蜀道难，难于上青天。我们今天可让大家体验蜀道之难的感受?这里叫“天梯”，近乎90度，因为我们今天是沿路下山，所以我们在下“天梯”。请大家不要争先恐后，一定要抓稳铁链和护栏，手脚并用，小心脚下。
我们现在来到了天铸地造的“雷劈石”。这块巨石约300立方米，花岗岩中两组走向分别为100°和190°倾角近似直立且垂直相交，张开裂度约0.5米，是在风化剥蚀和重力作用下形成的地质景观，为重力作用所成。非民间传说此处岩石的张裂是因雷劈所致。
诸位请看这里还有一棵古松，其因根部盘根错节，形似祥龙腾云驾雾，所以被老百姓称作“蟠龙松”。沿右手我们很快就可到达我们来时经过的“瑶池”;沿左手我们可直接到九影瀑，沿途有独树一帜景点及千年香果树等国家保护的珍稀树种。
仁者乐山，智者乐水。现在让我们体验一下峡谷的迷人风姿吧!
峡谷景区位于龙井河的上游，离景区大门仅500米，全长6公里，现已开发，南起天然画廊，北至园区管理处，全长1960米。
天堂寨花岗岩自1.3亿年前侵入后，地壳发生了较强烈的构造运动，沿里南河一线发生岩层断裂，在以后漫长的地质演化过程中，经流水下切冲刷、风化剥蚀等因素综合作用，形成了峡谷地貌。
峡谷天凿地造，气象万千。谷内深潭遍布，间有瀑布，迥异神秘，看如银龙飞舞，听似万马奔腾;溪涧怪石散布，或如群象戏水，或如珍珠散落;谷旁植被茂密，郁郁葱葱，可听林海涛声，可闻珍禽啼鸣;空气清新，景致如画，风光旖旎。
峡谷谷底较宽，两岸多为陡立的悬崖峭壁，是较典型的“u”型谷。谷底出露的岩层为深度变质的大别杂岩和花岗岩，景观丰富多彩。
峡谷之旅，是徜徉在山水画廊间的仙境之旅，科学之旅，休闲之旅。幽雅的峡谷景观令你心旷神怡，潺潺流水伴你一路欢歌。
神仙居：为一巨型花岗岩滚石。岩石沿节理面倾伏，形成巨岩下数十平方米的空间，游人在岩下休憩，如神仙般的享受。
片麻状长花岗岩：为距今1.3亿年燕山期岩浆活动产物。岩石为灰白色、浅肉红色，似斑状结构，片麻状构造。主要矿物成份为钾长石、斜长石和石英。
龙眼：为一淘蚀洞穴。由片麻状二长花岗岩两组节理交汇部位因水动力作用夹带砾石磨蚀河床而成。
天然城墙：由岩石中水平节理和垂直节理巧妙共声迭合。
白龙过江：宽约0.5米的花岗岩岩脉沿张裂缝充填于条带状角闪斜长片麻岩之中。乳白色岩脉跨过溪流，犹如白龙过江。
脉岩：脉岩是岩浆活动过程中一定阶段的产物，是一种具有特殊形态的侵入体，充填在裂隙内，多呈脉状产出，所以称为脉岩。此处脉岩充填在距今约1.3亿年的中粒二长花岗岩裂隙中。
九龙壁：于石壁之上，见九条平行排列的花岗岩插入片麻之中，岩脉宽约1米左右。形似九条白龙挂壁，故称九龙壁。
天然画廊：河底出露岩石为古老的变质岩—大别杂岩，其形成距今约26亿年。白色条带蜿蜒曲折，它们是由长石、石英等浅色矿物组成。黑色团块和条带由角闪石、辉石等暗色矿物组成。它们是在地壳深处经强烈的构造运动形成的。黑白搭配的岩石如与幅山水画卷平铺河底，规模之大，实为罕见。
把视线拉近一点，左下方的“梦笔生花”，别小看它，那可是一棵树龄两百多年的黄山松，顽强的扎根于岩石上，生生不息，这就是黄山松精神。
继续西行，顺着我右手的前方是骆驼峰，由二长花岗岩三组节理因风化剥蚀重力崩塌而成。形似骆驼，故得此名。
朋友们!请再停下脚步，看到前方那尊背依绝壁、仰视长空的雕像了吗?大自然的鬼斧神工凿就天成石佛。背依绝壁，仰视长空，正在为江淮大地百姓祈求安康。此为二长花岗岩，约1。3亿年。岩石中垂直节理发育，属重力崩塌、风化剥蚀作用下形成的象形石。
年轻的朋友和我一起从龙剑峰景区徒步下山，其他人原路返回，从天屏峰可乘座索道下山，我们在山下的停车场集合。
龙剑峰位于天屏峰与泻玉瀑之间，整座山峰以石为骨体，其形酷似一柄巨剑，故名龙剑峰。龙剑峰集奇松、怪石、绝壁为一体，以险、奇著称，特别是过龙脊背时，必须手脚并用。在这条游览线上，我们除了龙剑峰上探险之外，沿途还将饱览西边洼核心保护区原始森林的风光。
首先我们一起穿过林海长廊，在这段路上我们正好可以稍作体力恢复，接着我们就要征服龙剑峰!
诸位朋友，植物是大自然的制氧工厂，一亩森林每天可吸收67公斤二氧化碳，制造49公斤氧气，足够65人呼吸之用。同时，植物还是大自然的消毒员，一亩松树林每昼夜可以分泌2公斤有机杀菌素，其他植物所释放的气体中也往往含有杀菌物质。植物还是大自然的消音器，它的叶、茎可以吸收噪音，在方圆一亩的森林中心，几乎听不到外面汽车的马达声。此外，植物的绿色还利于视觉器官疾病的康复。总之，植被覆盖率高的地区所具有的清新空气、静谧的环境和悦目的色彩，有利于人的健康。
看，这棵黄山松叫同胞松，又叫三友松。三松如同胞兄弟扎根于二长花岗岩垂直节理中，故称同胞松，亦如三个朋友，久久相聚，难以割舍。
我们继续前行。看，在这约15平方米平台上(意为“银台”)，一枝独秀的黄山松形似“蜡烛”，二者巧妙组合而成“银台烛花”。坐在这个平台上，请大家看右前方：松与石相偎相依，相应成景，恰似一对情侣相拥相伴，诉说着彼此的爱恋，这就是松石恋，愿天下有情人就象他们一样相依相偎，永不分离。
我们继续向上攀行。漫步在这林荫小道上，路两旁有很多珍稀植物，如紫茎、鸡爪槭、朵椒、天目木姜子、交让木、四照花、白梓等等，都是很名贵的呢!“良好的森林植被，南北方气候的过度带，天然混交林为主的原始森林，四季不息的飞瀑流泉”。
看，瀑布群中的第二道瀑布—情人瀑到了，这道瀑布高44米，宽10—15米，为断崖型瀑布，潭下可见大小不等的二长花岗岩，岩体中的大别杂岩捕虏体(捕虏体：地下岩浆在侵入过程中捕获的周围岩石碎块)。此瀑水势柔和，几度折叠，乘势而下，宛如少女正在拨弄她那秀美的头发。有诗曰：“瀑翠相侍老，渡船修千年”。朋友们抬头再看对面，一棵巨大的毛栗树上，蓬蓬勃勃地生长着一棵小松树。飞籽成林，是山区植物繁衍的通常办法。这也是一景，我们称它为“节外生枝”，天堂寨的植物就是这般奇妙!
让我们继续攀登。已经走过200级石阶了。路旁这是剑劈石，此石高8米，中间缝隙仅10厘米。传说是八仙之一的吕洞宾剑劈狐狸精留下的剑痕。事实是，在地质上它是岩石中一组平行的节理因风化剥蚀和重力作用而形成。(节理：岩石中产生的较平直破裂面，并且两侧岩石没有发生相对位移或仅有微量位移)
朋友们!瀑布群中第三道瀑布—泻玉瀑到了，此瀑高62米，宽12米，为常年流水瀑，水流其上滚珠泻玉，下跌至石坪上，恰似海浪翻卷白雪，站在此处，俯看绿树染百嶂，仰视银河来九天。
由泻玉瀑这儿登山，线路有两种选择。一是左行过步云桥，乘索道登山。天堂寨客运索道，全长1500米，上站与下站高差450米，采用单线循环固定抱索器双人吊厢方式运载客人，在索道吊箱里看瀑布，又是别一番景象。索道上站直达海拔1605米的天屏峰。“要看天堂风光景，神仙最爱架空行”。若大家愿意体验爬山的感觉，感受天堂寨的雄险，那我们就继续沿着石级前行吧!沿右首石级而上是“泻玉瀑”的顶端，水旁的这个景点名曰：“瑶池”，为一淘蚀洞穴，椭园形，深约1米，是新构造运动的遗迹。岩石中两组交汇的裂隙，在流水并夹带砂石的冲刷、磨蚀下形成旋涡，久而久之形成洞穴。
右首向西北这登山石级，是通向“龙剑峰”景区的。龙剑峰景色雄伟壮观。我们可以沿阶直接登临龙剑峰，但今天我们先顺着瀑布走上去，从龙剑峰下山，也给大家省点力气。
天堂寨位于大别山腹地，六安市金寨县的西南部，东南部与湖北英山县接壤，西南与湖北罗田县毗邻。系长江与淮河的分水岭，淮河的主要源头。主峰天堂寨海拔1729.13米，为大别山主峰之一。景区面积120平方公里，有1000米以上的高峰33座，1500米以上的高峰15座。1987年，天堂寨经省政府批准为第一批省级风景名胜区;1992年，经林业部批准为国家森林公园;1998年，经国务院批准为国家级自然保护区;20xx年8月，包括天堂寨园区在内的安徽大别山(六安)被国土资源部批准为国家地质公园，天堂寨为大别山地质公园主园区;20xx年被批建为国家4A级旅游景区。
天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96.5%，位居我国风景名胜区的前列，它保留了华东最后一片原始森林。动植物资源十分丰富，生态系统保持相当完整，它的资源特点可概括为四句话，这就是：森林物种珍稀，瀑布景观壮美，山石盆景奇妙，空气清馨宜人。
天堂寨在隋朝以前名“衡山”，唐代称“多云山”，明代以后改为“天堂寨”。自春秋战国迄至新中国建立前，历代都有英雄豪杰在此筑寨练兵，反抗暴政。元至正十一年，农民领袖徐寿辉在此揭竿起义，反抗元朝统治，改“天塘寨”为“天堂寨”，从此大别山腹地就有了称作“天堂寨”雄而博大的山峰。
天堂寨园区共有5个景区组成，即：瀑布群景区;圣卦峰景区;白马峰景区;造钱坳景区;峡谷景区。
天堂寨风景区有 120平方公里的地域。这儿以原始次生林为主，间有奇松、怪石、云海、龙潭、飞瀑，是集旅游、疗养、度假、避暑、科研、教学为一体的胜地。天堂寨兼有我国山岳型风景名胜“北雄南秀”的两大特点，属于南暖温带和北亚热带的过渡区。这里是许多南方植物种类分布的北界，又是许多北方植物种类分布的南界，是华东、华中、华北三大植物体系的交汇点。据专家初步考察，本区有野生维管束植物173科，648属，共计1882种。其中世界性种属28个、少种属77个、中国特有种属16个。
天堂寨的主要亮点是水，其清洌甘甜，PH 值为6.7，为地表一级饮用山泉水。“东南第一清白地，山是本色水是源”这是对天堂寨水的真诚赞美。天堂寨森林覆盖率高达96.5%;它的年降水量约在2200毫米，而又地处大别山北坡，年蒸发量1840毫米，加上地形雨频频降落，有时一天要下几场。因此在半径2公里范围内形成了五个接力式瀑布的瀑布群景观，华东地区实属罕见。有诗云“踏遍黄峨岱与庐，唯有天堂水最佳”。
现在我们的汽车就行走在去瀑布群景区的6.3公里的盘山公路上。请大家看我们的左前方，这是海拔1480米的白马峰。山峰西侧千米绝壁，万丈深渊;山脊上岩石裸露，雄奇险峻。岩性为二长花岗岩。由马鞍、马背和马尾构成，绵延数十里。头部在湖北的英山县，面对我们的是它的臀部。有“马尾晴雪”、“鞍峰夕照”、“蓬莱方舟”等景点。每当暴雨之后，流泉形成飞瀑，淡雾幻为白云，白马顿时在天空腾飞!
白马峰的左首有马尾平湖、仙人桥、仙人洞、瓢儿洞、擂鼓石、风动石等主要景点。特别是瓢儿洞，洞宽9米，深达18米，高约2.4米，可容纳100余人。古为兵家屯兵之地，今可作野营休息之的极佳场所。夏日，凉风习习，野花香浓;冬日，冰柱交挂，五彩缤纷。白马峰目前正在规划开发中，不久将揭开她那神秘的面纱供游人探访。
虎形地到了，这儿是进入瀑布群景区的门户，有停车场和多处接待服务设施。此处山高林密，篁竹萧萧，唐朝诗人王维诗曰“独坐幽篁里，弹琴复长啸。林深人不知，明月来相照”。
沿着石级前行，我们就来到了瀑布群景区，飞瀑龙潭是天堂寨的中心景观。天堂寨园区断层纵横，花岗岩体中各类节理、裂隙发育，经过长期的风化剥蚀、崩塌滚落、流水冲刷，于峡谷中形成了一道道断崖，为瀑布的形成提供了基本的条件。
未谋其面，先闻其声。听到轰隆隆的水声了吗?这就是瀑布群景区中第一个瀑布——九影瀑的轰鸣。九影瀑为常年流水瀑布，瀑高71米，宽约8米，为岩性差异及断层作用形成，瀑布底端二长花岗岩呈岩床侵入到角闪斜长片麻岩中，下有深潭，潭面约500平方米，终年不涸，瀑布水帘凌空而下，响声轰鸣。(瀑布是河流流经局部呈悬崖式河床时一种河水倾泻现象。规模较小的叫跌水。瀑布有较强的淘蚀作用)。看到此瀑我们真切体会到了李白的名句“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天”的真正含义。朋友们!站在这儿你觉得心胸特别舒爽吗?这一带大气中的负氧离子含量高达16个国际单位/立方米，是一处天然森林浴之地。请大家到上面的“观瀑亭”去看看，去河上的“逍遥桥”走走，抓紧呼吸吧，做深呼吸，享受一下大自然的恩赐!
我们继续向上攀行。漫步在这林荫小道上，路两旁有很多珍稀植物，如紫茎、鸡爪槭、朵椒、天目木姜子、交让木、四照花、白梓等等，都是很名贵的呢!“良好的森林植被，南北方气候的过度带，天然混交林为主的原始森林，四季不息的飞瀑流泉”。
看，瀑布群中的第二道瀑布—情人瀑到了，这道瀑布高44米，宽10—15米，为断崖型瀑布，潭下可见大小不等的二长花岗岩，岩体中的大别杂岩捕虏体(捕虏体：地下岩浆在侵入过程中捕获的周围岩石碎块)。此瀑水势柔和，几度折叠，乘势而下，宛如少女正在拨弄她那秀美的头发。有诗曰：“瀑翠相侍老，渡船修千年”。朋友们抬头再看对面，一棵巨大的毛栗树上，蓬蓬勃勃地生长着一棵小松树。飞籽成林，是山区植物繁衍的通常办法。这也是一景，我们称它为“节外生枝”，天堂寨的植物就是这般奇妙!
让我们继续攀登。已经走过200级石阶了。路旁这是剑劈石，此石高8米，中间缝隙仅10厘米。传说是八仙之一的吕洞宾剑劈狐狸精留下的剑痕。事实是，在地质上它是岩石中一组平行的节理因风化剥蚀和重力作用而形成。(节理：岩石中产生的较平直破裂面，并且两侧岩石没有发生相对位移或仅有微量位移)
朋友们!瀑布群中第三道瀑布—泻玉瀑到了，此瀑高62米，宽12米，为常年流水瀑，水流其上滚珠泻玉，下跌至石坪上，恰似海浪翻卷白雪，站在此处，俯看绿树染百嶂，仰视银河来九天。
由泻玉瀑这儿登山，线路有两种选择。一是左行过步云桥，乘索道登山。天堂寨客运索道，全长1500米，上站与下站高差450米，采用单线循环固定抱索器双人吊厢方式运载客人，在索道吊箱里看瀑布，又是别一番景象。索道上站直达海拔1605米的天屏峰。“要看天堂风光景，神仙最爱架空行”。若大家愿意体验爬山的感觉，感受天堂寨的雄险，那我们就继续沿着石级前行吧!沿右首石级而上是“泻玉瀑”的顶端，水旁的这个景点名曰：“瑶池”，为一淘蚀洞穴，椭园形，深约1米，是新构造运动的遗迹。岩石中两组交汇的裂隙，在流水并夹带砂石的冲刷、磨蚀下形成旋涡，久而久之形成洞穴。
右首向西北这登山石级，是通向“龙剑峰”景区的。龙剑峰景色雄伟壮观。我们可以沿阶直接登临龙剑峰，但今天我们先顺着瀑布走上去，从龙剑峰下山，也给大家省点力气。
好，我们继续往上走。看，瀑布群景区的第四道瀑布—淑女瀑到了，瀑高57米，宽10—16米，为常年流水瀑布。流水顺着二长花岗岩斜节理面飘逸而下，注入潭中，晶莹碧透。水流石壁形成曲线分明的三宽二窄，宛如身着长裙的少女在林海深处起舞。
再往上攀登。我们现在站在“听雾桥”上，看，瀑布群景区的第五道瀑布—银弓瀑展示在我们面前了。此瀑落差68米，宽11-15米，为二阶常年流水瀑布，流水沿二长花岗岩斜节理面滑落而下，注入约100平方米的深潭中，潭中可见大鲵(娃娃鱼)，此瀑恰似一张蓄箭待发的银弓，以绿树繁花作掩护，正寻找欲射的目标，气势多么的壮观啊!
往上走，走过“听风桥”。这里便是“碓窝岗”。传说此处为徐寿辉等农民起义军宿营和制粮的场所。周围松涛阵阵、泉水声声，好似义军在碓窝里加工米粮的撞击声，又似武士们向敌阵冲锋的怒吼。
再往上走，便是“天坪”了。朋友们缓缓前行，可看原始森林植被垂直分布的美妙景观。这一大片，长的全是杜鹃花，我们称作“杜鹃坪”，杜鹃花属杜鹃花科，常绿或半常绿灌木。花冠宽呈漏斗状，玫瑰红色，深浅不一，春(3—5月)秋(9—10月)两季均开放，按其品种不同可分为：黄山杜鹃、天目杜鹃、云锦杜鹃等。成彦雄《杜鹃花诗》云：“杜鹃花与鸟，怨艳两何赊。疑是口中血，滴成枝上花。”在林间岩际，野芳幽香，红葩遍山，犹若锦屏，煞是美艳。
这一大片，长的全是黄山松，我们称作“黄山松坪”。黄山松为松科松属常绿乔木，树冠伞形，一年生小枝黄褐色或暗红褐色，无毛，叶两针一束。黄山松姿态坚韧傲然，美丽奇特，但生长的环境十分艰苦，因而生长速度异常缓慢，一棵高不盈丈的黄山松，往往树龄上百年，甚至数百年;根部常常比树干长几倍、几十倍，由于根部很深，黄山松能坚强地立于岩石之上，虽历风霜雨雪却依然永葆青春。
这一大片，长的全是箬竹，我们称作“箬竹坪”。箬竹秆高1-1.5m，直径0.5-0.7cm，中部节长10-20cm，微具毛，节下有淡黄色粉质毛环。箬竹实用价值较高：秆可作笔杆、竹筷;叶可制斗笠、船篷及粽叶等。这一线一大片，长的全是槲栎。我们叫做“槲栎坪”，槲栎，落叶乔木，高达30米，是北亚热带与南暖温带交汇的典型植物。
它们片与片之间，界线分明，整齐划一。这是大自然的杰作啊!
走过天坪，现在我们到了索道的上站及其两端的天屏峰一线。天屏峰一线从盆景园——天成石佛全长3公里，原是为了防火，人工将树木砍去留下的一条防火道，又是皖鄂两省的分界线。“一脚踏两省，放眼望江淮。”西南而视，荆楚大地，尽收眼底。回望东北，茫茫林海。天屏峰位于瀑布群景区西侧，索道终端，皖鄂交界处，海拔高度为1605米。站在此处，可观赏到金狮啸天、剪刀石、老君赴会、情侣峰、梦笔生花、神龟石、情侣龟、青蛙望月等景点。如此众多的景观是形成于1.3亿年前的花岗岩体经长期构造抬升、风化剥蚀等地质作用形成的花岗岩峰丛地貌和象形石景观。
顺着皖鄂两省交界线，往东可以去天堂寨主峰，天堂寨主峰大别山主峰之一，海拔1729.13米。峰体岩石为斑状黑云二长花岗岩。一座孤零零的山冈上有块巨石，名叫“插旗石”，因巨石中间有一个碗口粗的石眼，记载为元末农民起义军徐寿辉的大旗就插在那儿。由于时间的关系，我们不去主峰了，下面我沿交界线往西行。
这一带统称盆景园。悬崖之间，奇松千姿百态;沟壑之上，异石奇形怪状，脚下奇花异卉微微含笑。
朋友们!看，那是情侣峰，此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。两石齐秀，并肩，状似情侣。瞧，一对热恋的情侣正在相互拥抱、甜蜜的接吻呢!再往下看，左边前方的那块附在山体上的巨石，那是“情侣龟”。此石岩性为二长花岗岩，垂直节理发育，为重力崩塌、风化剥蚀而成。千年老龟也效仿情侣，已经坠入爱河不能自拔了，大小二龟成攀登状，意欲走近情侣峰。它是花岗岩体经长期风化、剥蚀而成。大家可不要惊动它们哟，你看旁边的那只天蝉都不忍打扰它们，停止了鸣噪哩。朋友们!这个景点就叫“白象戏水”。为花岗岩体经亿万年的风化剥蚀而形成的象形石。
现在，我们就到了吴楚亭。这里，海拔高度1660米。站在吴楚亭上，江淮大地尽收眼底，花岗岩峰丛地貌雄中见奇。远观300度方向可见卧虎山之威，320度方向可观鲸鱼出海之奇，20度方向可看白马峰之峻。请朋友们先看左前方的远山，名为“金狮啸天”，远视形象逼真，为二长花岗岩沿节理崩塌而成。
把视线拉近一点，左下方的“梦笔生花”，别小看它，那可是一棵树龄两百多年的黄山松，顽强的扎根于岩石上，生生不息，这就是黄山松精神。
继续西行，顺着我右手的前方是骆驼峰，由二长花岗岩三组节理因风化剥蚀重力崩塌而成。形似骆驼，故得此名。
朋友们!请再停下脚步，看到前方那尊背依绝壁、仰视长空的雕像了吗?大自然的鬼斧神工凿就天成石佛。背依绝壁，仰视长空，正在为江淮大地百姓祈求安康。此为二长花岗岩，约1.3亿年。岩石中垂直节理发育，属重力崩塌、风化剥蚀作用下形成的象形石。
天堂寨这块神奇的土地，不仅孕育出奇山异水，而且蕴藏着醉人的民间风俗，灿烂的民间文化。当你沿着曲折的田间小道，踏进天堂寨脚下的南河村，这片古老而又淳朴的土地，你会被那浓浓的泥土气息芬芳着，被那炽热的热情感染着，被那淳朴的民风民俗吸引着，让你忘却都市的喧嚣，忘却世俗杂念，陶醉在这一片世外桃源里。这里有保存完好的明代建筑群，雕梁画栋，色彩鲜明，它们间间相连，户户相边，斑驳的墙壁叙说这里的古老久远和人世间的沧桑。你瞧，这些游客围坐在火笼旁，边吃边侃，哦，他们在吃吊锅、喝吊酒，品味着当地的民风民俗。到山民家里做客，山民不会将客人请进饭店、宾馆，而是用自家酿造的小吊酒，自家采摘的土菜招待客人。吃饭时，几样烧熟的菜不摆上桌子，而是全部放在吊锅里，锅下面挖有火笼，内有烧旺的木炭，客人们围坐四周，边吃边喝，边烤火边闲侃，那氛围会不由自主的感染着你，和主人尽吐心曲，忘却了身在异乡为异客的孤寂。目前，“吃农家饭、品农家菜、住农家院、干农家活、娱农家乐、购农家物、体农家情”的农家乐服务在当地发展的如火如茶。
天堂寨是一首隽永的山水诗，一幅秀美的山水画，更是一部高亢的田园交响曲。在这诗画曲谱中，无时无刻不让游客体味到历史的丰厚。大别山自古为兵家必争之地，楚汉相交的天堂寨更是首当其冲，被誉为“平时有藜霍不捋之成，临时得高屋建瓴之势，中枢独用，妙用无穷”。在南宋时，文天祥曾派同榜进士程伦倡导淮西抗元，天堂寨(时称多云山)义民傅高率乡人响应。元至正十一年(公元1351年)红巾军领袖徐寿辉在此建立天堂寨，招募义军，义旗一举，万民响应，同年攻下罗田、薪水，后发展到百万之众，席卷东南数省，割据一方达十一年，国号“天完”。明代这里是战略防守重地，清顺治、乾隆年间分别有过农民起义，后还成为太平天国与清军对垒的战略要地。至今这里还有清代咸丰年间的关卡、义军用的石臼、古炮台、议事厅等历史遗址。大革命时期，天堂寨所在的金寨县，有十万群众参军参战，这里诞生过两支工农红军，是鄂豫皖革命根据地的重要组成部分。红军北上抗日后，大别山红旗不倒，进行了艰苦卓的游击战争。解放后，金寨县在全国工作的省部级以上干部500多人，诞生59位共和国将军，为全国第二大“将军县”。1947年刘邓大军南下，在天堂寨一线跃进大别山，西逼武汉，东指南京，为全中国的解放建立了不朽的功勋。在全国上下轰轰烈烈开展红色旅游的今天，六安市金寨成为一方热土。在前往天堂寨的旅游热线上，分一布着六安市皖西烈士陵园、独山革命旧址群、金寨革命博物馆、许继慎陵园、红25军和28 军旧址、下楼房刘邓大军指挥部旧址等，这些都成为大别山红色旅游区的重要目的地。
