Qionghai Lushan Scenic Area is located in Xichang City, the capital of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, the largest Yi Autonomous Prefecture in China.

The scenic spot is integrated with the urban area of ??Xichang, forming a unique natural landscape and beautiful living environment that is rare in China with mountains, water and city interdependent.

Qionghai, also known as Qiongchi, is located 5 kilometers southeast of Xichang City. It is one of the largest lakes in Sichuan Province.

The lake covers an area of ??31 square kilometers and its deepest point is 34 meters. It stores about 320 million cubic meters of water all year round.

The green water is clear and rich in fish and shrimp. It is a famous natural fishing ground and water sports ground.

The lake is surrounded by mountains, green trees, beautiful environment and pleasant scenery.

The lake water is clear all year round, making it suitable for swimming, boating and fishing in all seasons.

Lushan is located on the coast of Qionghai, with an altitude of 2,317 meters, and a relative height difference of 807 meters from Qionghai.

The beautiful mountains and towering ancient trees are Xichang's natural green barrier. There are many kinds of rare animals and plants in the forest. The Kowloon Hancypress, one of the ten "Kings of Bashu Trees" with a history of 2,000 years, has a unique shape and is unique in the world.

Lushan Mountain is favored by its spiritual energy and praised by monks and Taoists as the best mountain for enlightenment.

In the depths of the dense forest, more than ten Buddhist temples and Buddhist palaces are exposed at different heights. The ancient temples and palaces are located in the secluded environment according to the local situation. They are majestic and magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, which are fascinating.

The geological origin of Qionghai Regarding the formation of Qionghai, there are widely circulated folk theories about the subsidence of Qiongdu County in the Han Dynasty and the theory of the subsidence of Ningyuan Prefecture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

According to folklore, Qionghai was caused by the subsidence of Zitong County.

Whenever the sun is sunny and the sea water is clear, you can still see the cylindrical tile roof on the bottom of the water near Qinglong Temple.

This is recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Southwest Yi" and the "Shanghai Stele Records" of the Ming Dynasty of Guangfu Temple in Lushan.

During the investigation in 1975, the foundation stones of the house were also seen dozens of meters away from the lake shore.

This also became the basis for the earthquake to form a sea.

However, according to research, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian, who had personally visited Xichang and Qionghai, never mentioned the theory that Qiongdu collapsed into the sea in "Historical Records".

"Hanshu Geography" only talks about "Qiongdu, Nanshan produces copper, and there is Qiongchi Ze". "Three Kingdoms", "Huayang Kingdom", etc., there is no record of subsidence when it comes to Qionghai. During the great earthquake in the Qing Dynasty, at that time,

Witnesses' poems and tablets did not mention the post-earthquake subsidence. Geologists believe that Qionghai and its coastal plains developed on the basis of a typical fault basin and the Luoji Mountains in its east.

The amount of rise is much greater than that in the northern area. Its strong activity caused the Luojishan fault block to rise significantly and the Huanhai fault basin to further subside, resulting in a huge height difference in the Xigeda Formation between Daqingliangzi and Qionghai.

And caused many strong earthquakes in the later period. The formation of modern Qionghai is the result of the strong activity of the fault during the Holocene. The bottom of Qionghai tilted southward, with the Qinglong Temple area adjacent to the Hainan fault being the deepest. This shows that the Qionghai was formed.

It is a typical fault lake. Its up and down movement is caused by intermittent earthquakes through countless stress accumulations. It gradually subsides, gradually expands and deepens. There is a beautiful legend about the formation of Qionghai. A long time ago, there was a kind and hard-working woodcutter.

My husband went to the mountains to chop wood every day. One day, his finger was accidentally cut by an axe. The bright red blood dropped on the clear spring and suddenly turned into a little eel, calling him "Father".

The woodcutter asked him for food. Soon, the eel grew fat and strong, and the woodcutter’s food was all eaten up. He dreamed that the eel told him that he wanted to give it to him.

Send food. When I woke up, I saw that the yard was full of yellow and orange grains. The news spread quickly, and the rich man in the village soon found out about it. In order to seize the grain, the rich man bribed the county magistrate.

The woodcutter was caught in the county and tortured, forcing the woodcutter to confess that he had stolen from the rich man's house. Suddenly, three bamboo shoots appeared in the hall. The woodcutter followed what Eel told him, stepped forward, and broke the two next ones.

Hug the middle one tightly. With a burst of lightning and thunder, two water columns rose into the sky from where the two bamboo shoots broke. In an instant, the county town and the surrounding area turned into a vast ocean, which became Qionghai.

On the thick bamboo shoots, the dragon-like eels floated to nowhere. This story is similar to the story of the sinking of the earth. People believe that when the sunset shines on the Qionghai Sea, the sea is crystal clear and as horizontal as a mirror. At this time, a tower can be seen.

The outline of the underwater town is said to be the ruins of a city street that sank when the land subsided thousands of years ago. Playing with the Three Elements of Qionghai and Playing with Qionghai in the Moon Appreciation Chapter The ancients said: "The gentle breeze and the rain build a prosperous moon."

The three important towns on the "Southern Silk Road" have their own characteristics: the clear stream is windy, the drizzle in Ya'an City is lingering, and the moon in Xichang City is bright. Therefore, Xichang is also known as the "Moon City".

As night falls, a bright moon climbs over the distant mountains and branches from the end of the tranquil Qionghai Sea, and hangs in the clear night sky. The scattered silver light is like a big warm hand caressing the village, the boat, and the quiet Qionghai Sea.

Just fall asleep and sleep leisurely... Chapter of Boating on the Blue Waves of Qionghai. Qionghai is surrounded by mountains, the water and sky are green, the reeds are rustling, and the willows are lingering.

One day, when I was boating on the lake, the mountains in the distance were like black clouds, and the waves near the water seemed to make the mountains more serene and the water more beautiful.

The happiness in my heart that I couldn't hold back for a long time also rippled with the ripples caused by the boat's oar.
