Brief introduction of scenic spots in Yunlong Mountain Scenic Area:

Located in the south of Heping Road in the southern suburbs of Xuzhou City. The altitude is104m, and the length from north to south is about 3km. On the mountain, pines and cypresses are towering, and the mountain is gentle and easy to climb.

Legend has it that Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, had entered this mountain in advance, and his wife, Lu Shi, looked around. After observing the celestial phenomena, she saw the spirit of Yunlong in the mountains, and went into the mountains, finally finding Liu Bang, hence the name Yunlong. In fact, this mountain is called Yunlong Mountain because it has ups and downs, nine links, and looks like Youlong, surrounded by clouds. There is a Northern Wei Stone Buddha in Xinghua Temple on the mountain, so it is also called Stone Buddha Mountain.

Climbing from the northern foot of the mountain, I met thirty giants writing the book "Yunlong Mountain" on the boulder, with sharp brushwork and exquisite carving. Climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking Jiuli Mountain in the north, the ancient battlefield where Chu and Han fought fiercely two thousand years ago is in sight; Travel west to yunlong lake. Blue waves are like mirrors; Looking east at the old course of the Yellow River is like practicing in vain; The solemn memorial tower for the martyrs of Huaihai Campaign on Fenghuang Mountain has a panoramic view.

There is a crane pavilion near the top of the mountain. This pavilion was built by Zhang Tianji, a scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the spring of the first year of Song Yuanfeng (1078). Zhang Tianji, a native of Yunlong Mountain, lives in seclusion in Huangmaogang at the foot of Yunlong Mountain. He raised two cranes in the pavilion, released them in the morning and collected them at night, so the pavilion was named Crane Pavilion. When Su Dongpo knew Xuzhou, he kept close contact with him. He often drinks and writes poems together. Shortly after the crane pavilion was built, he wrote a book "Crane Pavilion" specially for Zhang Tianji. Pavilion spreads in literature and is famous all over the world. Because there is a sentence called crane in the "Flying Crane Pavilion", later generations built another pavilion in the south, named Crane Pavilion. Even comparable.

There is a well in the south of Tingnan, formerly known as the Stone Buddha Well, with a depth of 23 meters. Because the well is adjacent to Hefangting and will be opened for four years tomorrow (1624), Natali, director of Xuzhou Household Department, renamed it "Drinking Crane Spring", inscribed the word "Drinking Crane Spring" and erected a monument on the south side of the well.

On Huangmaogang Rock not far from Hefangting, there is a stone bed on Dongpo, and the word "stone bed" is engraved on the upper right corner of the cliff. It is said that Su Dongpo once went hiking and drinking with friends such as Zhang Tianji, and Ceng Zui was lying here.

There is a fitting booth and a farewell booth in the south of Hefangguan. Based on Su Dongpo's Yunlong Mountain, we try on spring clothes. Before the departure of the crane pavilion, the fallen flowers were sent lightly, and the apricot blossoms were three miles in color. The new husband went to Ma Rufei.

To the east of Hefangguan is Xinghua Temple, and the entrance to the mountain gate is the majestic Hall of Heroes. There is a Buddha statue in the hall, which is a contemporary work with Yungang and Longmen stone carvings. According to legend, in the first year of Zhengping in the Northern Wei Dynasty (45 1), when Emperor Tuoba-tao of the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded the Song Dynasty, 300,000 troops besieged Xuzhou and were stationed in the circus area of Yunlong Mountain. The foot soldiers carved the head of a giant Buddha on the mountain. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1398), the Hall of Great Heroes covering the head of the Buddha was built by the monk Shengji. In the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1695), Xuzhou was known as Wang Yicheng, who presided over the carving of the upper body of the stone Buddha and became the sitting statue of the half-length Buddha seen today. The stone Buddha is about 10 meter high. Because the back cornice wall is about feet high and only uses three bricks, there is a legend that "a three-brick temple covers a three-foot Buddha". On the rock walls on both sides of the big stone Buddha, there are statues and inscriptions in the Taihe Decade of the Northern Wei Dynasty (486) and the Tang and Song Dynasties, among which the Buddha statues with different expressions are inlaid in a patchwork way. The niche mountain is a temple, and the peak is carved into a Buddha, which is picturesque.

To the southwest of Hefangting is Guanyinge Rock Courtyard, which was built in the 56th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (17 18). It is an open mountain gate with 53 temples built on slopes. The courtyard is quiet and elegant, with three Guanyin halls and loyalty statues. Another theater was built in the seventh year of Qing Daoguang (1827) and was used to entertain the gods during the temple fair.

In recent years, with Yunlong Mountain and yunlong lake Scenic Area as the center, Xuzhou has continuously excavated and restored historical relics and places of interest, and vigorously afforested and beautified the ancient city. Chu Xiangyu's circus stage, Liu Bang's monument to great winds, the painted terracotta warriors and horses in the Western Han Dynasty in Lion Mountain, the tombs of princes in the Han Dynasty, the stone carvings in the Han Dynasty, the cornices in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the Qianlong Palace in the Qing Dynasty all make Xuzhou a brilliant place today.
