Reservoir area tourism in Rizhao Reservoir

There is a deep pool at the bottom of Rizhao Reservoir, which is the deepest part of the current reservoir. Legend has it that there is a cave in the pool where gods live. People often come here to inquire about good or bad luck and predict the future, hence the name Divination Pond. The legend is very effective. If people want to hold a grand banquet and are short of cups and dishes, if they go to the edge of the pond and ask for them, the exquisitely carved cups and dishes with weird looks will float out of the water and be delivered to them. But you must pay it back in full. Later, a greedy man left a jade cup. From then on, no one could borrow it. It is also said that a man named Zhang Xin passed through the cave to deliver a letter of request. He was lucky enough to visit the cave and said that the Qiongtai pavilions in the cave were magnificent and unparalleled in the world.

There is a monument on the dam of Rizhao Reservoir, with the four characters "Rizhao Reservoir" inscribed by Shu Tong. There are green pines all around the reservoir, and there is an antique pavilion in the west of the dam. When you climb up to the secluded pavilion, you will feel comfortable. If you are boating on the lake and fishing leisurely, it will be a unique experience. There are many historic sites in and around the Rizhao Reservoir. There is Liu Xie’s hometown in Xishan—Liu Sangongzhuang, Sanzhuang Town, Donggang District. There is a rare ancient tree species here, the single black bullet tree. The trunk has a strange shape, the crown is like an umbrella, and it is dark blue and almost black at night. There is Wugudong Mountain with an altitude of 391 meters. The mountain is steep and steep. There is an ancient well on the top of the peak, named "Longquan", which survives drought. There is Wugudong to the west of the well. It is said that Li Mumei and other five aunts once practiced here, and they could ride bamboo poles through mountains and caves, and finally achieved enlightenment. Wugudong Mountain also has landscapes such as "One Foot Road", "Stealing Eyes", "General's Belly", "Eighteen Pans", and "Foye Cave".

In Dahuaya Village, southwest of the reservoir, there is a ginkgo tree, with an outer ring and an inner hollow. It is vigorous and tall, and an elm tree grows out of the hollow of the trunk. The trunk is forked, with flying elm coins and numerous ginkgo fruits. It is amazing.

Go south along the road next to the ginkgo tree for a short distance, then turn to the west. The mountain road is winding and winding, and you will arrive at Huilong Temple, where only the ruins remain. During the Kangxi period, Xia Yu people practiced here, and Shibi Gangcun wrote a poem by himself: "Thousands of rocks and ravines are climbed to the extreme, and it will be said that the mountains are all here. Go deeper into the mountains, and go deeper into the mountains." There is also a poem called "Visiting". The poem written by Buyu: "The bright moon is clear, the sound of flowing water in the mountains. I hope I won't meet you today, who knows Boya's heart." Although only the ruins of Huilong Temple remain, the lush forests and bamboos, flowing waves and waterfalls, and the chirping of birds make people forget to leave.
