The jade Emperor Summit, the main peak of Mount Funiu and the highest spot in Henan Province with an elevation of 2,211.6 meters, is the source of mountain springs that flows into the Baihe and Yihe rivers and then to the Yangtze, Yellow and Huaihe rivers. With the geographical features of the transition from the warm temperate zone to the sub-tropical zone, Mount White Cloud presents the scenery of both Southern and Northern China. It is home of nearly 2,000 species of plants, such as Cercidiphyllaceae, Taxus chinensis and pine trees, and more than 400 ginkgo trees that dale from the Tang Dynasty (618-907).

The water forms a while fog as it falls.

On one side there is Drum Cave hidden among ancient tall trees. The cave is 18 meters high, 17 meters wide and 34 meters deep. In the cave there is a pond where the water is only one foot deep.
