“之”字形峡谷景观：一正断层切穿三叠纪板状灰岩。在东-西拉张和“X”共轭斜向张性剪切作用下，岩层沿二个“X”共轭解理方向滑塌，形成锯齿状断层崖壁，并派生出来回转折的“之”字形峡谷。峡谷漫长而幽深，归属山地嶂谷型地貌。

“一线天”景观：因峡谷生成于张性断裂，从而严格受地质构造控制。两侧谷壁自下而上近于平行，呈波浪状“之”字形弯曲，直达谷顶，方见一线天空。

在谷中，游人行进时，总感觉面对悬崖峭壁阻挡，以为不可通行。然而，当抵达崖壁时，眼前却豁然开朗，宽阔游道突然呈45度角拐弯通向前方。峰回路转，妙趣横生，好似步入仙境，如诗如画。古人云：“山穷水尽疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”。

The ZigzagValley: The normal fault cut through slate from Triassic. When east-west tensional joint and “X” conjugate jointcaused the extensional shearing action, the layer would slump along two “X” conjugate joint, forming a tooth fault and then shaping a zigzag valley. This valley is deep and long, which belongs to a type of mountain narrow valley landforms.

The Sliver Lining: The valley was formed by tensional joints; thus it was defined by geological structure. Both sides of the valley walls are almost parallel from bottom to top, presenting a wavyzigzagbending to the top of valley and a silver lining came into being.
