Baohua Mountain National Forest Park had long been well-known for its four natural wonders including the beautiful forest, charming mountains, deep caves of enchanting beauty and lovely mist and clouds in the twilight. The sunset scenery here is especially fascinating when the beams of the dipping sun somehow filter through the mist and fog to create a seductively enchanting scene. The foggy sea of Baohua Mountain compared favorably with that of the sea of clouds that is the Mount Huangshan marvelous spectacle.
That ivory coloured air faded in and out. They were of that baffling protean gray which is never twice the same. The green mountains and ancient temples verily twinkled, as of the great mystery of adolescent girls and the fairy on the ninth heaven that was down in the world of mortals. Here you could enjoy the distant murmur of a brook, the soughing of the wind in the pines, the pleasant effect of a woman's speech, which everything was totally absorbed in the fascinating scenery with either light or heavy make-up.
