It combines the marvelous natural scenery with exquisite buildings to form a truly fascinating and very highly rated place in south Guizhou. Feiyun Cliff is located at the foot of Mount Dongpo, 12 kilometers (7 miles) east of Huangping. It was originally built in 1443 of the Ming Dynasty and then restored several times during the Qing Dynasty. Occupying an area of 2,000 square meters (2392 square yards), it is composed of three main buildings: Yuetan (Moon Pond) Temple, Yuetan Palace and Yangyun (Fostering Cloud) Pavilion, which encompass both the religious and the gardenesque architectural styles. When seen from afar, the grand and peculiar cliff is like flying clouds towering in mid air, which is how it got the name Feiyun (Flying Clouds) Cliff. Feiyun Cliff is heavily wooded and its ancient buildings are harmoniously covered by the shade of the trees. Graceful natural and man-made scenery has made the cliff characterize a fine spring day all year round. So here is no doubt a beckoning tourist destination where people are reluctant to leave. Strolling in the location of the Feiyun Cliff, one may feel as if you had entered a wonderland. Engraved archways have religious mystery and reveal advanced engraving art. Simply decorated pavilions sprinkle the courtyard and serve as a resting spot for people. Serene and solemn temple halls house Buddha statues in the middle, where you can enjoy the fragrance of the joss sticks from distance. All of these sights and sounds, including picturesque cliff scenery, water chattering and exulting among the mountains and birds singing gracefully and brightly in the woods, will wash away either all your earthborn vexations or make you feel relaxed, brisk and comfortable. Numerous poets, scholars, officials and merchants visited Feiyun Cliff for the reason that the ancient post road of the Ming and Qing Dynasties passed through here. Moreover, they always left a great number of stone inscriptions over the years. Feiyun Cliff contains a group of ancient structures, including archways, pavilions, temple halls and corridors. Naturally, it is a major ancient site of the Wuyang River Scenic Resort. Combining the marvelous natural scenery with exquisite buildings to form a truly fascinating circumstance, it is considered a very highly rated place in south Guizhou. Wang Yangming, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, had highly praised that 'Mountains under the heaven compare their beauty in Yunnan and Guizhou while the Feiyun Cliff is the most impressive and representative among them.' Annually, on the 8th day of the 4th lunar month, the ethnic minority people in neighboring areas gather at the Feiyun Cliff to hold their grand celebrations. During the celebrations, men play the Lusheng Pipe (a musical instrument made of bamboo); girls dance on large drums, gracefully, gently; some people burn joss sticks and pray to the God for blessings for their families. Other activities like horse racing and bullfighting with liveliness and vigor are very popular too.
