Introduction to one-day tour of Xianju

Xianju Scenic Area is located in the east of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The natural landscape here is very magnificent, without the soft feeling of Jiangnan. Here you will encounter various natural wonders and beautiful scenery. The air is fresh and birds, animals, insects and fish are everywhere, making it a good place to cultivate your body and soul. Let’s introduce it in detail below.

Although the public transportation system in Xianju County is not developed, it is easy to find minibuses to Shenxianju Scenic Area at the bus station in Xianju County. This minibus runs about once every hour from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. It charges 5 yuan and only accepts cash.

At 9:30 a.m. in 1998, the train departed on time. The driver glanced at the mirror, smiled and said, "You succeeded today." Only then did I realize that I was the only one in the car.

Maybe it’s because of the usual relationship, maybe it’s because of the epidemic. On this day before the rainy season, not many tourists unexpectedly went to Shenxianju Scenic Area.

Zhejiang has beautiful mountains and rivers and charming scenery, and has 18 5A-level tourist attractions. Among them, Taizhou occupies two places, one is Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area, and the other is Shenxianju Scenic Area located in Baita Town, Xianju County.

In 2014, Xianju became the first batch of national park pilots by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and issued the first county-level "Biodiversity Conservation Action Plan" and "National Park Global Hunting Ban." Shenxianju Geopark has become an important part of Xianju National Park.

The driver is a local in Xianju, but he said he has only been to Xianju twice. I can't help but wonder if Xianju is full of mountains. Xianju people are no longer curious about mountains. He quickly denied, "The residence of the gods is different."

In about 45 minutes, we arrived at the north gate of the Shenxianju Scenic Area. When I got off the bus, I was a little disappointed. The few low mountains that caught my eye did not seem to be as majestic as I imagined. In addition, there was no dense surrounding at this time, and the bare rock wall was "naked" in front of me, lacking a hazy "filter" beauty.

When you look at the entrance, you can't seem to feel the grandeur of Xianju. The pictures in this article are all from print media reporter Wang Yu.

Xianju, also known as Weiqiang Mountain, is the remaining mineral vein of Daqinggang, the second highest peak of Kuocang Mountain. Local people say that the "Tianmu Mountain" in "Li Bai's Dream of Climbing Tianmu Mountain" is here, so it was once called Tianmu Mountain.

However, over thousands of years, many famous mountains with the title of "Tianmu" have appeared. Which one is Li Bai's sleepwalking? To this day, there are still differing opinions. Some people say it is Taimu Mountain in Fujian, while others say it is Tianmu Mountain in Xinchang, Shaoxing. Everyone has their own research, and "Tianmu" has become synonymous with the sacred mountain and fairyland.

The scenic area has a total area of ??22.32 square meters and is divided into two areas: South China Sea and Beihai. Each of them has cable cars going up and down the mountain. Visitors can hike up the mountain from south to north, or visit from north to south. However, if you are not strong enough and don’t want to miss some important scenic spots on the top of the mountain, you can take the cable car up the mountain from the north and come down from the south.

It records such a story: There was a benevolent man named Wang Wen who lived in Xiwoyang in the Song Dynasty and made a good wine. One day, two beggars in ragged clothes came to the shop. Wang Wen received them warmly and entertained them with newly brewed wine.

The day after the beggar left, the smell of alcohol in the house was strange. After Wang Wen and his family drank the remaining few sips of wine, they immediately jumped onto the floor and flew into the sky. Only then did they realize that the two beggars who came yesterday were fairies in the sky.

Not only was Wang Wen's family favored, but their chickens and dogs also became immortals during the day after eating the lees on the ground. This is the origin of the idiom "When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".

“The mountains are not high, and the immortals are not famous.” Ancient people’s worship of nature is inseparable from their belief in religious myths. Since ancient times, mountains have also been a place for meditation and enlightenment. Prajna Bridge, Wuwei Road, Bodhi Road. There are also Xianqiao Bridge, Fo Peak, Guanyin Peak and Fo Fanyin. Along the way, there are many trails and

Exit from the Beihai Cableway Station and walk along Prajna Road, and soon you will come to "Buddha Sea Sanskrit", one of the eight scenic spots in Xianju. Standing at a high place, the view suddenly opens up, and a real picture of the "towering mountains" that are not seen at the foot of the mountain unfolds before your eyes.

Xianju has a unique geological structure and is the largest volcanic rhyolite landform group in the world. Rhyolite is a rock formed by the cooling of magma and ash during volcanic eruptions.

These rhyolites have patterns of magma flow. After crustal uplift, fracture cutting, collapse, and weathering and erosion, they have formed landscapes such as mountains, stone gates, pinnacles, single pillars, caves, canyons, waterfalls and other landscapes. Before us the rocks overlapped so much that the edges could not be seen at a glance. The valley is lush and green, and the mountains and plains are everywhere. The sunlight casts clear and dark shadows on the numerous mountain peaks, just like thousands of Buddhas sitting there, full of mystery.

Foding is one of the three most amazing peaks in Xianju. After weathering and erosion, the cliff surface shows the outline of a human face, just like the Buddha who closed his eyes for a moment and sat on the lotus throne, solemn and solemn. At this time, close your eyes and listen to the faint "Sanskrit sound" coming from the valley, making everything seem more peaceful and holy.

Guanyin Rock is another landmark of Shenxianju, with an altitude of 919 meters and a rock height of more than 200 meters. In the vast and empty mountainous area of ??Nuoda, there is only such a huge stone standing. Looking from a distance, it looks like a Guanyin sitting on the mountain with her hands folded, looking peaceful and praying for all living beings. In the past, this rock was also called "Tianzhu Rock" by local people, which means reaching the sky.

Nature can often inspire people's deep religious feelings and beautiful imaginations, which is why monks' practice often requires integrating into nature and clearing their souls in mountains and canyons. For people who live in cities for a long time, occasionally getting close to nature is also a good way to relax.

Overlook the natural scenery and relax.

The trip to the top of the mountain is basically along the high-altitude plank road on the cliff. The plank road is winding, but the design of the trail is quite user-friendly. It is not too steep or too narrow. There are pavilions for people to rest almost every one or two hundred meters. Along the way, you can overlook strange peaks and vast forests, and there are magnificent scenery everywhere.

It must be mentioned that in order to facilitate tourists’ viewing, the scenic spot has designed many viewing platforms extending outward, some of which have become the most popular glass platforms for tourists to experience hanging high in the sky. Thrills in the sky.

Li Bai said: "An impenetrable shadow, but now the sun and moon illuminate the Jinyin Terrace." In the evening, the setting sun shines on the golden volcanic rhyolite, the valley and The vegetation is painted a warm, soft yellow.

Night began to fall, and the fairy house was shrouded in silver moonlight. The trees turned silver, the grass turned silver, and the rocks were extremely bright under the moonlight. This is the "Gold and Silver Terrace", a unique beauty where gods live.

In addition to the changes in day and night, Xianju is also famous for its "clouds and mist". At the corner of Yuan Yin Road, there is a cliff stone inscription with the five characters "Yanyun First City" inscribed by He Shuli, the magistrate of Jinjiang County, Jiangsu Province during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is a sunny day and I have never seen the beautiful scenery surrounded by mist, it is not difficult to imagine that in the empty mountains after the rain, the white mist like cicadas rises from the valley and entangles in the dense forest. The peaks are swaying and the clouds and mist are shrouded, making it difficult for people to distinguish. In the human world or in fairyland.

If there is thick fog How beautiful would it be?

Going down the mountain from the south of Shenxianju Scenic Area, you will find that there are not only majestic peaks and rocks, but also clear springs winding down the mountain. They form a variety of waterfalls, some delicate and soft, some majestic. Listening breathlessly to these beautiful sounds of nature is soothing.

Occasionally, water droplets fly on the face, splash on the arms, and cool into the skin, which is very refreshing. No matter where these waterfalls come from, they will eventually come out of the valley and flow into Yong'an River, the mother river of Xianju.

One of the eight scenic spots in Xianju is "Light Bamboo Listening to Spring".

Looking from the south gate exit, it seems that "all the immortals" are gathered in the Immortal Residence.

Some people climb mountains and want to go down as soon as they reach the top. But in Xianju, all the locals I met told me: Don’t be anxious, walk slowly.

Because the mountains here do not require human conquest and challenge, they require tourists to slow down and watch them attentively. In the taste, the scenery of Jiangnan Canyon will make you linger and have endless aftertaste.
