Liu Bowen's "Feng Shui Treasure Land" hides a sky-reaching waterfall? Let's go to Baizhangji to explore the secret

🌿 Baizhangji: The "Heavenly River Falling to Earth" in Liu Bowen's Hometown Hidden among the mountains of Wencheng, Zhejiang, is a wonder that even Liu Bowen, the Ming Dynasty's top strategist, was amazed by—Baizhangji. This place is not only the "Highest Waterfall in China" (with a total drop of 207 meters) but also the source of inspiration for young Liu Bowen’s travels and enlightenment, where he observed the signs of heaven and earth. Legend has it that it was here, listening to the thunder of the waterfall, that he conceived the world-renowned strategy: "Zhuge Liang divides the world into three, Liu Bowen unifies the country." 📜 Historical Origin: The Millennium Bond Between the Waterfall and the Imperial Tutor The name "Baizhang" comes from "one waterfall 100 zhang high, two waterfalls 100 zhang deep, three waterfalls 100 zhang wide," and since the Tang and Song dynasties, it has been praised as the "Number One Waterfall in Southeast China." Liu Bowen’s "Place of Enlightenment": Young Liu Ji (Liu Bowen) often studied and watched the waterfall here. The thunderous power of the waterfall inspired his military strategy of "using water to symbolize warfare," which he later applied to win many battles with water tactics while assisting Zhu Yuanzhang. Taoist Blessed Land: The Qing Dynasty's "Guangyu Ji" listed Baizhangji as one of the "Thirty-Six Blessed Lands of the World," because the waterfall resembles the "Heavenly River pouring down," and ancient people believed this place was a spiritual vein connecting heaven and earth. 🌟 Must-See Highlights: Waterfall + History + Secret Realm Full Guide 1️⃣ First Waterfall · "Milky Way Falling from the Ninth Heaven" (207-meter main waterfall) Stand on the viewing platform and feel the shock of the "Milky Way seemingly falling from the ninth heaven."
