Scattered throughout this vast area of karst land formations are undulating hills, picturesque waterfalls and streams, and intriguing limestone caves. Combined with the man-made garden and entertainment projects, it offers a perfect holiday resort.

Tianhe Pool, 13km upstream from Huaxi park, is a newly developed scenic area with natural vistas of limestone caves and waterfalls. Its Stone Bridge, naturally formed out of a limestone cave, has a 25-metre-high arch Tianhe pool lies in a massive pit, which also harbours two horizontal caves, one dry and the other with an underground river flowing through it.
