When I go out, I want to go back to Renli Village near the county seat, but I decided to drive there first, because mobile navigation shows that the Barrier Mountain Grand Canyon is only 25 kilometers away from the county seat.
Born and raised in Jixi, I naturally have different feelings about this landscape. The Zhangshan Grand Canyon, which I visited many years ago, has always been the most beautiful scenery in my memory. The strange rocks, Lishui, deep valleys and deep pools are memorable. Whether it's the Baizhang Cliff, which is 460 meters high and stands at an angle of 85 degrees, or the huge stone resembling the solemn head of the founding leader, or the deep green pool in the canyon and the graceful twin waterfalls, it's amazing.
When my classmates and I were studying and playing in the mountains, the Zhangshan Grand Canyon was still in an undeveloped primitive state. My classmate's home is in Xiaoyao Village, deep in this mountain. That year, my brother and classmates and I went to Qingliangfeng. But that experience was also horrible. When we drilled through the wet trees and bamboo in the mountain path, we found my calf bleeding. At that time, I thought it was a thorn in the mountain that cut my calf. When I opened my trouser legs, I found that my legs were covered with grasshoppers greedily sucking blood from me, and I collapsed instantly. Fortunately, the students are experienced. When I slapped the leeches around me with my hand, the leeches loosened the sucker and fell down. But the place where I was bitten kept bleeding because of a hemolytic enzyme secreted by leeches when they were sucking blood. Since then, for a long time, I went to the mountains to play, and the grasshopper has always been in my heart. Of course, there is no need to worry about this now, and the mountain road is no longer overgrown with weeds in the past.
As far as I can remember, the Zhangshan Grand Canyon scenic spot should have started to collect tickets long ago, but this time the road from Beicun to the scenic spot is actually an old dirt road, and the parking lot of the ticket office of the scenic spot is still paved with gravel, which makes people feel that the subsequent construction of the scenic spot is not very good.
However, Zhangda's natural scenery is very beautiful, with a forest coverage rate of 97% and 43 rare species. It is a United Nations ecological demonstration area and one of the United Nations plant gene banks, which shows that its natural resources are also very rich. In the Zhangshan Grand Canyon, there are many peaks, beautiful and straight; Waterfalls and colorful pools are all over it. Baizhangya, as the largest boulder in the world and a towering barrier, was recorded as a boundary pillar of wuyue in the Spring and Autumn Period in history.
Shu Yong, a famous local historical figure in Jixi in the Ming Dynasty, once praised the danger of this mountain in the Travel Notes of Daying Mountain. He said: "The cliffs are green and the clouds and forests are foggy. If a big stone is cut, it will be full of skills, and a wooden bridge will be built ... It will crawl away, cross it when it is deep, and people who pass by dare not look down ... "Its strangeness and risk can be seen.
At present, the Zhang Shan Grand Canyon is a relatively small tourist attraction with low visibility and few tourists. However, it is a rare tourist attraction because of its beautiful scenery and extraordinary beauty. It is recommended to visit the first pass in Jiangnan, and don't miss the Zhangshan Grand Canyon. It's definitely a place worth punching in.
In the past, it was really a temporary idea, and time was hasty, so I didn't enter the scenic spot. I just turned around the periphery of the scenic spot and went down the mountain.

On the way back to the county seat, I passed the well-known Taiji Lake Village, and it was still early, so I stopped by the village.
Taiji Lake Village is15km away from Jixi County. In the past, when Qingming returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he passed by several times, all driving across the river. Today, I went to see the village. The car went to the parking lot at the entrance of the village, and no one asked at the entrance of the scenic spot. Only two big black dogs shouted at my car and ran to meet me. One of the big black dogs raised his front paws and put his head into the car. I quickly want to lift the window. My son stopped me at once. He was afraid that I would pinch the dog when I raised the window, saying that the dog was just playing with me, and it was okay. But I hesitated for a long time before getting off. Fortunately, when I got off the bus, one black dog had disappeared, and the other one was resting on the ground and didn't think about me again.
The ticket office at the head of Hucun village was very simple, and there was no one in front of the door, so we went straight to the village. The whole village looks quiet and there are few people. I traveled all over the village and I guess I met less than ten people.
On the ancient Wanquan street in the village, the stream is still gurgling, and the tinkling sound of running water makes this small village with a history of more than 800 years look more quiet and quiet. On the steps of a house in the street, a brown garden dog curled up and was indifferent to our arrival. I teased him, only to let him open his eyes and look at us lazily. At this time, my son was cautious again, telling me not to mess with dogs, saying that dogs that look timid will bite people instead.
The name of Taiji Lake Village comes from the natural S-shaped marginal stream in the village. It is this river that makes the small village in this valley naturally form a Tai Chi, embracing Yin and Yang, and the natural environment is superior. Different from Chengkan in Bagua Village, Huizhou District, the villagers in this village all live on the positive side of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, with antique houses winding along the S-shaped river, while the negative side of Tai Chi is a field. Lake village is very small, and it takes a short time to walk from the head to the end of the village. It is the smallest ancient village I have ever been to.
I don't know whether it is affected by the epidemic or whether the village has been so deserted. My son and I walked around the village along the tourist route marked in the village, and all the tourist attractions in the village were not open. For example, the founder of Wuhan Pavilion, the legendary creator of Wuchang fish menu, Zhang Xianghua's former residence, the former residence of modern famous writers, and Zhang Ancestral Hall are all iron generals. We can only look at the door with regret.
It is said that Taiji Lake Village holds a five-day Guanyin Festival every year on the fifteenth day of the first month. The scene is grand, and the finale of each beauty pageant is "swinging and lifting the pavilion", which attracts many villagers from surrounding villages to visit. "Dangju Pavilion" is a traditional folk festival in ancient Huizhou. When I was very young, I saw several strong men carrying a cross-shaped windmill swing built on a satin-decorated seat frame. Four girls dressed in ancient costumes were fixed on the short shaft at the end of the cross on the swing with almost invisible ropes, and kept flying up and down in the air with the cross windmill. On the supporting frame about three meters high in the protruding pavilion, there are two other teenagers, also dressed in costumes of knives and guns, communicating up and down, and the knives and guns are connected, which looks like fighting. At that time, I admired the ancient costumes of those little girls and thought they were very fairy and beautiful. But in fact, it is still dangerous for real people to fly up and down at the end of the swing. Now most parents don't want their children to take the risk, so the swings are all made of wax figures, and the appreciation is much worse than before.
In addition, Taiji Lake Village also has an attractive place, that is, there are a large number of complete stone gates in the late Qing Dynasty. The gatehouse is generally decorated with scroll-shaped double-lintel brick door covers, and its brick carvings are extremely rich, such as "the new champion", "Zhang's shoes" and "the golden toad", all of which are exquisite and lifelike, and are the epitome of ancient Huizhou brick carving art, so Hucun is also called "the first village of Chinese gatehouse".
I didn't know until I got out of the village that this village generally charges 60 yuan for tickets. Think of the writer Feng Jicai said: "Many traditional villages are just a thick ancient book, but many have died before they can read it." In the face of this very light village, it is conceivable how many tourists can come here, not to mention the countless villages with stories in ancient Huizhou. I think if we want to open up the popularity and let more people know about the cultural accumulation of a village for nearly a thousand years, we should open our hearts and welcome visitors from all directions. If you have heating, why not worry about the village? Only in this way can we see the economic benefits more quickly. Even without considering economic benefits, it is a great beauty to improve the popularity of ancient villages and better publicize Huizhou traditional culture. Why simply stick to and consume the capital left by our ancestors? Of course, this is just a personal opinion. If you have any good suggestions for such ancient Huizhou village tourism, please leave a message or comment.

Jixi is a small mountain city with rich tourism resources, both natural scenery and human landscape are of great tourism value. Unfortunately, at present, the development and publicity of scenic spots are not enough, and they are basically minority tourist attractions. But if you also like this original tourist attraction, you might as well take a walk in Jixi.
I am a bunch of flowers, thank you for your concern and love for my friend!
