Blue moss-Jade Girl Mountain
Guo Hua of Lianyungang has the reputation of "the first scene in the East China Sea" and "one of the four Lingshan Mountains on the sea". When we reached the first peak of Shangjiang, Yunv Mountain, the key point was understood.
This is the potential town of Wang Yang, Weining Yaohai. There is a pavilion called Sakura Tree, surrounded by pavilions. It is the largest pavilion with all-stone structure in China today, next to the ruins of Qianhaishulou.
Huaguoshan Group Peak in the East China Sea. See more strange rocks on the cliffs of Ya Dan, strange peaks on the walls, and a flying stone. Legend has it that it is a stone fragment from the place where the Monkey King was born. Standing at the highest place, you can see a white salt field and an island standing in the misty sea. Children like to play here, holding golden hoops and pretending to be the Monkey King, which seems to make a scene in Heaven.
There is a place where you can use VR glasses under the observation deck of Yunv Mountain. Let's see what Guo Hua looks like in the glasses.
Paradise-water curtain cave (72 holes)
Jade Mountain is the highest peak, so it is natural to walk backwards. water curtain cave is a must.
These are waterfalls and fountains-
School Bai Hong, thousands of snow waves fly. The sea breeze kept blowing and the moonlight shone on the river.
The cold air is divided into green and the residual flow is moist and delicate. The gurgling sound covers the famous waterfall, which is really like hanging a curtain.
Water curtain cave has always been a paradise, not starting from the Journey to the West. Ming Dynasty's Thirty-six Scenes of Yuntai, Zhang Chaorui's travel notes and various local chronicles have detailed and vivid descriptions of this.
There are inscriptions by celebrities from different dynasties on the website.
In front of the cave, there is an inscription on "Mountain Stream and Flowing Water" written by Wang Tong of Haizhou in the 23rd year of Jiajing (1544), as well as music stones such as "Shenqingquan" and "Lingquan" and the inscribed "Mamu Stone House".
That year, the Monkey King rushed into water curtain cave. Of course, we don't have the ability. We just came in, but we must remember to put on our ponchos and take an umbrella. Otherwise, the name of this water curtain is not empty, it can give you a cool feeling. Go into the hole and look outside.
There is a throne of the Monkey King and a couch in this cave, so it is excellent to go in for the summer.
Water curtain cave is single entry and single exit, and the exit opens to the other side. Water curtain cave is out of the seventy-two holes, waiting for you to soak the sea stone. The sea erosion stone is an important evidence that Guo Huashan rose from the sea, and it has holes on it.
A major feature of Guo Hua is its numerous caves, collectively known as "72 caves", which is a spectacle formed by a orogeny tens of thousands of years ago. Not exactly 72. The more famous caves are Erxian Cave, Wanfo Cave and Lianhua Cave. There is a cave, which is said to be the place where the stone monkey bathed for the first time after birth.
In the third period of The Journey to the West, there is a passage describing the seventy-two demons between Guo Huashan, all of whom surrendered to the Monkey King. It's really interesting to remember the original while playing, so it's a punch card for fans.
There are many cliff stone carvings here, including Mao Gong tablet.
Ya Dan Xiaobi-Guaishiyuan
This strange stone garden is connected with almost 72 caves. When you walk, a stone with different shapes is printed in your eyes. There is a giant Buddha, which is a natural stone. On this basis, it was carved into Sun's head.
It can also be seen that Tang Priest Cliff, Baima and Bajie are very close, but Tang Priest and the Monkey King have to stand in the parking lot of Sanyuan Palace and look east to clearly distinguish them.
This is also called "Giant Buddha Cliff", which is a cliff tens of meters high formed by gneiss weathering. These four masters and apprentices are simply lifelike. More careful people can also see the wonders such as the dialogue between master and apprentice and giving their lives to feed the tiger, so some people also make the "Ten Thousand Buddha Cliffs". I didn't see it for a while, maybe my imagination was not enough.
There are many sayings about this strange stone, such as Tathagata, Yan Shuangfei, Wukong becoming a sparrow, bergamot stone and so on. Each stone has a name in front and an outline description, which is much easier to identify than other places. You can basically tell. Very vivid.
The famous beautiful pine trees are also nearby.
Cool summer-drifting
In fact, the temperature in Guo Huashan is lower than the outside, but if you play rafting, it will be more refreshing. Remember to bring your own clothes. The splash is really big.
Ancient pagodas pass through clouds-Ashoka Pagoda
It's a good idea to watch the sunset at Asoka Tower at night. Ashoka Tower is outside the mountain gate. Take a bus to Xianren Bridge and walk there. Ashoka Tower is located in Christina Temple, which used to be the lower hall of Sanyuan Palace, the main temple of Huaguoshan.
Ashoka Pagoda is the highest and oldest existing pagoda in northern Jiangsu, with a history of 996 years. Ashoka Tower has been the main attraction here since ancient times. In the Ming dynasty, it was called "pagoda passing through clouds", and in the Qing dynasty, it was called "tower shadow reunion".
Miraculously experienced the baptism of the Tancheng 1668 M8.5 earthquake, and it is neither crooked nor oblique so far. The tower shape is particularly majestic, and it is more atmospheric in the sunset.
After seeing the Ashoka Tower, of course, you should rest in the Huimin lodge. It is said that the proprietress's craft is quite good! ! We must identify them. We stayed at Mengsong Hotel in Huaguoshan community and ate at No.85, water curtain cave, Huaguoshan. It's all related. It's close, just a few steps away.
There is also a lounge chair swing in the yard. When the weather is good, you can look up at the starry sky, next to drifting and close to the ropeway. Seeing the scenery is a good place to go.
In the mountains, we naturally eat things from the mountains, our own geese, our own chickens and roast whole sheep. It's refreshing.
Eat and drink, go back to your room and sleep. Health needs a good sleep.
Day 2: Climbing route-Sunrise on Yunv Mountain-Zhu Ping Temple-Sanyuan Palace-Duobao Pagoda-Jiulong Bridge.
The first day by car, the second day climbing, mainly to watch the sunrise.
Sunrise in the Sea of Clouds-Jade Girl Mountain
The Jade Girl Mountain in Huaguo Mountain, 624.4 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Jiangsu Province. At sunrise, it seems that all places are stained with a layer of orange red.
At sunrise, the clouds break and the sun and the moon compete for brilliance.
On this Jade Girl Mountain, there are also many forked paths, and you can always find a better place to enjoy the sunrise.
There are thousands of ancient cypresses, knots, flying stones, cliff carvings and urban scenery, which are even more unobstructed.
After the peak came down, the real owner of Huaguo Mountain finally appeared on the observation deck. Macaques and monkeys are naturally wild, but they are also very pure and lovely. The one facing the sun is only a little lonely.
Xiuzhu Qiao Song-Zhu Ping Temple
Zhu Ping Buddhist Temple is named after bamboo like a screen. This kind of bamboo is called Polygonatum odoratum inlaid with gold, which is the treasure of bamboo. If you look closely, you will see that there are light green ditches on the bright yellow bamboo pole, which are staggered one after another, just like jade strips embedded in it, hence the name.
On the Guo Hua, Zhu Ping Temple's gold-inlaid jade bamboo grows most luxuriantly. 1June, 1993, the special stamp of Bamboo issued by China has the graphic of gold inlaid with Polygonatum odoratum.
Zhu Ping Buddhist Temple is the most secluded place in the Sanyuangong complex, which was built by Xie Chunshe, a native of Yangshan during the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. It is a place where monks practice. The Buddhist temple has a quiet environment, little space, complete facilities, pavilions, moon gates, cloisters, ancient trees and so on. Here, you can taste fragrant tea and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Don't miss Wu Yun Tea.
There is a spring in front of the Buddhist temple. The spring water is very sweet, which is very suitable for making Wu Yun tea.
Shengeqiong building-sanyuan palace
The Sanyuangong complex is very large. According to records, it was built in the Tang Dynasty, rebuilt in the Song Dynasty, extended in the Ming Dynasty, and repaired many times in the Qing Dynasty, so it has various styles. Now it is gradually restored according to the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, with Haining Zen Temple as the main temple.
Today's Shanmen and Sanyuan Palace are relics of the Ming Dynasty, but the ancient cypress tree on the right side of the main entrance of Sanyuan Palace was preserved in the Song Dynasty. It's not easy. There are Tian Zi, Bell Tower and Drum Tower beside it. The overall structure is huge, overlooking the beautiful scenery in the mountains and even overlooking many pagodas.
Entering the main hospital, two ginkgo trees in the hospital have passed 1 100 years, both male and female, and are still bearing fruit. The incense in Haining Temple fills the air, and the red silk on the female ginkgo plants is fluttering. It is said that the boy's wish is tied to the male plant, while the girl's wish is tied to the female plant. Therefore, there are more girls.
From the corner of Haining Zen Temple, you can lead to the sleeve garden. When you are tired and hungry, you can go there to drink tea and eat something. There is also a wisteria in the yard, which seems to have been several years.
Near the Sanyuan Palace, there are many small scenes, such as the righteous monk pavilion and the great temple.
Exquisite and exquisite-Duobao stupa
It will take some time to get out of Sanyuan Palace and go down the mountain before you can see the gorgeous pagodas in autumn, which is more beautiful. This multi-pagoda was built in the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of gold-plated bronze statues and ancient coins have been excavated in the stone chamber of the pagoda.
This tower imitates the style of Southern Tang Dynasty, and its body is carved with stone, which is solid, bell-shaped with long handle, exquisite and carved, with a height of 12.77 meters, nine levels and eight sides, surrounded by 64 carved Buddha statues, which are lifelike, and each Buddha statue has different charm. This is a masterpiece of tower carving.
Shenlin Mountain Foothill-Jiulong Bridge
Go straight along the stupa and you will see the Kowloon Bridge. It is named after nine mountain streams such as nine dragon dances gathered from all directions under the bridge. It is also a transportation hub, with scenic buses and ropeways.
Going down the mountain to Kowloon Bridge means that I have arrived at my homestay. After walking all morning, I am hungry, too. If you don't eat at this time, wait for another time. Lianyungang is near the sea, and the seafood is great. Naturally, I have to eat a lot. Crabs, snails, clams and oysters will turn upside down when eaten.
You can watch the sunrise, climb the mountain, eat and then go home. Guo Hua, Song Qing, Bai Cui, Changchun and Xiuzhuteng are good places to go. I want to come back in autumn and see the colorful here.
