Situated in the northwest of Jingning She autonomous county in Lishui, East China's Zhejiang province, the Yunzhong Daji Scenic Area is just 40 kilometers from the county center.

The scenic area is on a mountain basin with an altitude of 1,600 meters. Inside the area, there are plenty of villages and farming fields scattered across hills, as the nearby mountains stand tall as if they are ladders that lead to the sky. Visitors will find different views when climbing around the area, which has gained the scenic area the name of "Three Skies".

There's a 100-meter-tall waterfall, which is called Snow Daji, due to the snowflake-like movement as it falls from the peak.  

There are ancient buildings in the area, including Shisi Temple built in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The thousand-year-old Cryptomeria fortune beside the temple has a diameter of 4.47 m, making it the largest tree of its kind in the country.
