The village is located in the eastern part of Huanjiang County in the northern part of Guangxi. It covers an area of over 10 square kilometers.
The terrain of the scenic zone is karst, so there are numerous high hills, dense forests, deep and secluded valleys, murmuring streams and waterfall clusters.
Of the waterfall clusters, the Seven Fairy Waterfall is about 60 meters wide. With the water falling from a height of 50 meters, the waterfall is silvery in color and looks like the apron strings of fairies floating in the air. This wonderful sight can be favorably compared with the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou, one of the largest waterfalls in China. In the scenic zone, there are green mountains and clear waters. The area used to be an ocean in ancient times, and it became land as the result of crustal movement. Now, there are a lot of coral fossils, some of which are in strange forms. Some of the fossils look like bullhorns, thus the name of the scenic zone.
The scenic zone also boasts the local specialties of Huanjiang such as fragrant pigs, fragrant cattle, dried mushrooms, fragrant ducks and fragrant non-glutinous rice. Of the five fragrant good food materials or dishes, the Huanjiang fragrant pigs are really special. After being prepared by master chefs, a fragrant pig has a pleasing color and tastes fabulous, yet it is also very nutritious. It can only be found in Huanjiang County, so it is the delicacy of choice to serve guests and tourists to show hospitality.
The Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County is the place with the largest number of Maonan people in China. In terms of folkways and culture, Huanjiang is unique. Tourists who are interested in getting to know the customsof the Maonan people look forward to visiting Huanjiang.
Presently, the CPC Committee and the People’s Government of Huanjiang County has set the development of tourism as a priority. Efforts are being made to attract investments to speed up the construction of the scenic zone. The goal is to build up the Bullhorn Scenic Zone into a national AAAA scenic zone by the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan period. When the construction is completed, it will link the Deep Cave Cluster in Wenya Village and the Demonstration Ecological Park in Huashan Forest Farm, thus forming the eco-tour circle in Central Huanjiang. The mountains and rivers in Huanjiang are beautiful, and the hospitable local people welcome tourists to come here and enjoy the eco-tours.
