Part 1: Introduction to Putian Jiulong Valley
Ladies and gentlemen, hello! I am very happy to visit Putian Jiulong Valley Forest Park with you. First of all, I will introduce myself to you. For the sake of communication, please call me XX! I will be your tour guide this time. If you have any comments or suggestions during the tour, please let me know. I will try my best to serve you. I hope you can come on an impulse and return with satisfaction.
The scenic spot we visited today is located in Juxi Village, Changtai Town, Putian City, which is 35 kilometers from Putian to Jiulong Valley Forest Park, about 1 hours' drive. Dongzhen Reservoir is not far ahead. Dongzhen Reservoir is one of the large reservoirs in our province. It was built in 1958. The dam is 361 meters long, 58 meters high and 8 meters wide at the top. Like a huge barrier, it straddles the valleys of Tianma and Dilong, stopping the stream flowing down from Xianyou Jiuli Lake, forming an area of 18 square kilometers and a reservoir capacity of 3. 811 million cubic meters of artificial lake. In 1962, when Guo Moruo visited Putian, he wrote poems and praised them. Today, Dongzhen Reservoir has become a new tourist area. It has the functions of irrigation, flood control, power generation, aquaculture and urban water use. In the early years, due to the serious drought and water shortage in Putian, Putian people could only grow sweet potatoes for a living. Known as "Sweet Potato County", there was such a jingle: "It rains for one day, but it doesn't rain for three days." If Putian wants to change "sweet potato county", it will build a number of reservoirs, such as Dongzhen Reservoir. On this artificial lake, the scenery is beautiful. Known as "Little Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou".
coming here will double people's interest. Look at a loquat plant all around. It's about a million mu. There isn't any factory. In the past, all the residents here lived under Dongzhen Reservoir. In order to use water for the whole population in Putian city, people here are reluctant to help their houses up, but they can't set up factories for fear of affecting the water quality, so the villagers here can only rely on planting loquat for their economic income. Loquat is the treasure of local people and the main economic income. There are many varieties of loquat here, which are of good quality and delicious, and can also stop coughing and cure colds. Known as "the first town of loquat" in China. Loquat is the treasure of the people in Changtai Town, Putian, and it has great uses. Loquat leaves can be extracted from Chinese herbal medicines, and loquat can be used as canned food, loquat wine, loquat cream and other foods. With that, we unconsciously came to Yangbian Village. This village made a great contribution to the Red Army in those days, especially at that time, there were many great young people in the village who devoted themselves to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the village department built a revolutionary memorial hall to commemorate the heroes.
Now I'd like to introduce the basic situation of Kowloon Valley Park. Jiulonggu Forest Park is located in Xinan Village, Changtai Town, northwest of Chengxiang District, Putian City, and connects with Xianyou Jiuli Lake. The Dakeng River in the scenic spot is the lower reaches of Jiuli Lake, also called "Xiajiu Carp", with a relative altitude of 717 meters, and the scenic spot accounts for 1.5% of the ground. 3 square kilometers, which was developed and built in June 2112, has not been opened to the outside world because the foundation has not been formed. In recent years, with the strong support and help of the Provincial Forestry Department, Putian Municipal People's Government, Chengxiang District People's Government and Changtai Town Government, the scenic spot has made great development and progress, and more than 11 million yuan has been invested in development, and forest vegetation, sika deer garden, drifting, rock climbing, militarization expansion base and scenic spot tour have been built. There are more than 95% forests in the scenic area, and there are 532 species of plants belonging to 162 families. Taxus mairei is the first-class protected plant in the country, and Fokienia hodginsii is the second-class protected plant in the country. With the continuous development and progress of scenic spots, in 2115, the number of tourists in the province reached 81 thousand, with a turnover of nearly 11 million. The number of tourists received in the first half of 2116 increased gradually.
In the Ming Dynasty, the nine streams of Jiuli Lake meandered from the first thunder to the ninth general stream, among which the next five streams were located in the scenic spots we visited today, and the fifth waterfall was Shimen, where the mountains were steep and the cliffs stood. Xu Xiake once wrote in his travel notes: "? The two cliffs are the best, and the wall can only accommodate one line. If you want to be together, you can't open it. When you rush down to the spring, you get in the way of clouds and shadows. In the meantime, your popularity is like a macaque, and the evil wind blows it, and you are about to fall? " . At this point, the water suddenly turns and rushes through a crack, causing a thick waterfall with a height of more than 21 feet, falling into a narrow and profound stone gate, and then flowing down the cliff gully standing under Huitou Peak and Songtian Peak. Shimenkuang went down to the ninth general kuang, covering more than 21 li. It is the scenic spot we are going to, and there are three waterfalls along the way: Wuxing, Feifeng and Chessboard. Under the Five-Star Que is a plum-blossom pool formed by five big stones, in which the water flows.
Feifengkuang is named because there is a flying Fengshan nearby, or maybe the waterfall is like a flying phoenix. The scenery of Feifengkui is charming and beautiful. The stream flows down again, and then it reaches a low cliff, which capsizes and forms the eighth ridge. The chessboard and chessboard are not magnificent, but because there is a chessboard stone that looks like a square table next to it, and there are some stones piled up nearby, it is very unique if a group of people watch chess and chess. A mile down from the chessboard, then to the last waterfall in Jiuli Lake? The general is hot. Looking down from the top, you can't see the general's charm, but the rocks on both sides of the waterfall confront each other, and the waterfall flies down in it, making a roar and shaking the valley, showing the majestic style of the general!
Until the Tang Dynasty, the boundary of Xianyou was under Quanzhou's jurisdiction, so Jiuli Lake was separated. Divided into upper four, Jiuli Lake and lower five, Jiulong Valley. After a long time, people slowly forgot the name of the mountain. Later, there was a legend that there was a tiger who was helped by the Nine Immortals to become a fine tiger, but it went against the wishes of the Nine Immortals, not only did it not benefit the people, but harmed them. So the Nine Immortals wanted to get rid of it, but the tiger was so magical that the Nine Immortals could not defeat it. Later, when the immortal learned about it, he sent Leigong Dian Mu to cut it in half. Before the tiger died, he let out a long cry. During the development of our scenic spot, the local old people said, "Go up to Kowloon and go down to Kowloon". "Kowloon" means nine carp crossing the Dragon Gate and the scenic spot will have a good exhibition prospect, so the name of our scenic spot was changed to "Jiulong Valley". At that time, Xianyou County was divided into Quanzhou, but the scenic spot we arrived at was divided into Putian, so later, Jiuyi Lake in Xianyou only opened four, and the last five were in the scenic spot we are going to today. Now, when people visit Jiuli Lake, do they think it can be compared with calling Leyuhuadong and Wuyishan "the three wonders of Fujian"? It turned out that I didn't see it in the last five days. Now people call it the "back garden" of Putian in Jiulong Valley Forest Scenic Area.
The scenic spots are rich in tourism resources and have peculiar natural landscapes, which are mainly famous for the four wonders of lakes, waterfalls, caves and rocks. The most fascinating is the nine-level waterfall group, which has the reputation of "Nine Carp Waterfalls are the strangest in the world", and its height is comparable to that of Huangguoshu Waterfall. Xu Xiake, a famous traveler and geographer in the Ming Dynasty, first praised after visiting: "Sandie Spring in Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi Province and Longdong in Yandang, Zhejiang Province are only good at winning, and they are not as complicated and concentrated as the waterfalls here."
Nine carp is dominated by the culture of praying for dreams, which has an allusion: the story of He's Nine Immortals is widely spread in Xianyou. There are many place names in Xianyou that are related to Nine Immortals. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a man named He Ren Xia in Lujiang, Anhui Province who gave birth to nine sons, but all eight of them were blind except one eye in the middle of the eldest forehead. One year, nine brothers followed their father to visit Liu Anjia, the king of Huainan, Linchuan, Jiangxi. After dinner, they heard their father and Liu An whispering in class and learned that Huai nun Tzu was going to rebel. They urged their father not to collude with Liu An, but his father wouldn't listen. The nine brothers had to carry their father away overnight, and went through all kinds of difficulties and came to Xianyou seaside. It was late autumn, and the maple leaves were dripping. They picked maple leaves, folded maple branches and built a pavilion on the hillside, and spent the night in the pavilion that night. Later, this place was called "Fengting". At dawn the next day, the nine brothers left Fengting and walked north. In the evening, they came to a hill. There are towering ancient trees and winding streams. The brothers came to the stream, took cool water and even took a few sips. Who knows, the water drops touched the eyes and suddenly felt a little bright; After a few more washes, my eyes were all open, and I could see all the mountains, rivers, flowers and plants clearly. Later, this stream was called "Xianshui Stream", and the place where they stayed was now Xianshui Village.
In the old days, people also built a "eye-washing pavilion" by the stream. After seeing the light again, Ho's nine brothers climbed to the top of the mountain happily and decided to settle down there. They were busy logging and scaffolding, and in one night, they set up the hut. The next morning, the brothers started to make a fire and cook. At this time, several woodcutters went up the mountain to cut firewood. When they saw the fire at the top of the mountain from a distance, they thought that the forest was on fire and shouted and ran to the mountain. Ho's nine brothers don't know what happened, so they quickly fled to the east. Later, this mountain was called "Jiuxian Mountain", and there are still huge footprints on the stone. Leave Jiuxian Mountain and go deep into the mountains. They came to a natural stone lake, which was better than a paradise, and the nine brothers settled down. At that time, the plague was prevalent and disasters were frequent in Xianyou mountain area, and local officials didn't care about the lives of the people at all. He's nine brothers are very sympathetic to the people's sufferings. They collect herbs during the day and make alchemy at night, giving them to people for treatment. On the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, nine brothers came to the lake to enjoy the moon, and suddenly they saw the golden light in the lake. In a flash, nine carp jumped out and were eager to fly. It turned out that the carp in the lake became refined after eating the Dan medicine practiced by the Ho brothers, and it was about to go to heaven. The brothers were overjoyed, and each took a carp and went to the sky, becoming immortals. Xianyou County was originally named Qingyuan County, but it was changed to "Xianyou" because of this legend.
When we enter the scenic spot, we can see the "Crouching Tiger Peak" when we look up. When we look down, we can see this deep pool with water like rice screen, which is called "Rice Screen Pool", which means the industriousness of the working people in China. Go on, stand on the small bridge, and be placed in the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Looking down, this pool is like two hearts closely connected, so it is called "Lianxin Lake". Looking straight ahead, we can see a small pavilion in the lush mountains and beautiful colors, standing on the edge of the rippling pool. She has a nice name called "Dequ Pavilion", which is named after Xu Xiake's travels in Jiuli Lake, which once wrote, "However, the clouds are steaming and the Xia Wei is in the mountains and rivers."
After crossing the water pavilion, you will see a path winding through the dense forest, which is the "Xiake Ancient Road". It is said that Xu Xiake walked out of the ravine to Juxi when he went down the stream from Jiuli Lake to inspect Jiuyi. At this time, we have entered the natural "big oxygen bar", and tourists can enjoy it. You can enjoy the exotic flowers and natural scenery here while walking, and you can listen to the flowing water of the stream, such as ode to the music. On my left (or right) hand is the famous Butterfly Valley, where thousands of butterflies once lived to nest and reproduce; All kinds of butterflies fly all year round, hence the name "Butterfly Valley". Butterfly spring, which is sweet and sweet, is a natural mineral water flowing in the Butterfly Valley. People in the city drink Dongzhen water, while we drink Dongzhen reservoir water, which is purer and the best natural enjoyment. People often take it back to make tea.
You can see, what does the hill opposite look like? Does it look like a unicorn? Qilin Peak: Because this unicorn harms the people every New Year's Eve, the Nine Immortals turned it into a stone unicorn after they became immortals, so that it would never leave the valley and harm the world, guarding this stream and the Butterfly Valley forever.
Out of Butterfly Valley, continue along the ancient road, and you can see beautiful and clever sika deer; Sika deer? Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Cervidae, with chestnut red fur in summer and many white spots, looks like plum blossoms, hence the name. It is a national first-class protected animal. Sika deer, an auspicious animal in China, is also a symbol of longevity, and because it is homophonic with "Lu" and "Le", it also means wealth and happiness. Deer are also a kind of medicinal animals. Because the deer herds in the wild are decreasing day by day, the country is not allowed to slaughter them, so now deer herds are raised all over the country to make up for the shortage of medicine sources. Pilose antler and deer blood have efficient recuperation supplements. Deer are animals in the cold zone, especially sika deer in the northeast, which is still precious and a royal tribute. The deer raised in this garden are imported from the northeast, and specially invited the deer raising experts from the northeast to raise them here. Now we can touch them.
Jade Rabbit Running to the Moon: It is said that the rabbit around Chan 'e was this rabbit. This rabbit is the most beautiful of all the wild rabbits in Lisbon, Tiger Hill. One day, Chan 'e went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother and saw this rabbit. She liked it very much, so she took it back to the palace. Since Chang 'e took it away, why is it still looking up here? Because it is reluctant to part with the mountains and water here, it asks Chang 'e to turn its body into stone and stay here forever for generations, and its soul will go with Chang 'e.
On the X side of my hand (depending on the orientation of the tour guide), there is a stone in Hengxi. Do you think it looks like an elephant? That's an elephant crossing the stream: in the past, when there was a lot of rainfall in Juxi, the lake soared and the water flowed rapidly, which brought floods to the people of Juxi. One year, the flood flooded again. This immortal elephant tried many ways to resist the flood, so it turned itself into a stone to resist the flood, and its pampered body just blocked the water potential, and the flood stopped flooding. People named it "the guardian of flood control" and nicknamed it "the elephant crossing the stream" in memory of this elephant.
Following my gesture, what you can see is the peak of lovers: Legend has it that there was a couple. Because of the disparity between the rich and the poor of the girl and the boy, the girl's father was too poor to love the rich and strongly opposed the girl and the boy being together, so they decided to elope and escaped. The girl's father learned that it was impossible for them to run halfway to the peak. The girl told the boy, even if they turned into stones, they should not be taken back by my father. While speaking, a fairy heard their conversation and was moved by their true feelings, helping them turn into a pair of "stone lovers" attached to the mountain peak, and they should be together forever, and no one can separate them. Parents should not interfere with their children's marriage and let them be their own masters. This couple peak is a warning.
follow my gesture, and what you see is that the lion and dog are howling. See if it looks like it. Let's keep going. There's a wishing hole ahead. All we have to do is make a wish and throw the pebble into the hole, and it will be as you wish.
Overlord Tree: This tree is full of domineering. Its roots extend in all directions at the same time, trapping the whole stone, and it seems to be "self-centered". There is also a solitary tree growing on the cliff behind. Although the tree is not long, it grows in a stone cave without an inch of grass, and its roots grow several meters along the stone "wall" to take root and suck nutrients to support itself. It can survive in such a barren environment, which shows the strength and preciousness of life. When we look back, there is a cave, which is the "Maitreya Cave" where a Maitreya Buddha is enshrined.
if we look down, there is a five-star pavilion above the Feifeng Pavilion, which is named after five stones are arranged into five stars. It is also famous for the story of Wen Kui, a literary star. In many poems, it is described as the leading literary star. There is a poem that says, "When the water is surging, it will gather in abundance, and it is planned to use satellites as the main guest stars, fish jump in Longmen to board nine carp, and wood, gold, water, fire and earth elites". Now that everyone wants their children to be successful, why don't you bring your children here to see the flying?
