If you want to cool off in summer, you can try Matou Mountain in Zixi, Fuzhou. In addition to the double temptation of plants and animals, the water here can also give people a cool feeling in summer. Matou Mountain mainly promotes virgin forests. You can't find a trace of modernity here. The ancient trees are green, the Grand Canyon streams and the rocks are rugged, just like the masterpieces of nature, which is full of praise. There are more than 20 waterfalls, such as "Chicken Claw Fork Waterfall", "Longjing Four Tanks", Triassic and Wudie Spring. The waterfalls have different shapes, winding paths and splashing waves. If you want to go further, it is an undeveloped place, but the footprints of donkey friends have extended there, and wading through it is commonplace. Here, the rock Xuan passes through the four holes of the house stone and the water lotus, and the column is as flat as a knife and towering into the sky, which makes the cliff climber go as far as the abyss, cross the forest area and return to the quiet nature. The mountain wind blew on his face, and the gurgling spring was singing in a low voice.
Traffic index: From Hecheng Town in Zixi County to Matoushan, walk back along National Highway 3 16. After turning right at the first residence of Gaobu Town, it is a county road, but it is still a cement road with a slightly narrow width. After turning left at Dongyuan, it is a difficult journey. Because the gravel road is in disrepair for a long time, the bumpy mountain road is very difficult to walk, which is a test for driving skills and car performance, and ordinary cars can't drive at all.
Tip: Waterproof measures must be done well, because it is upstream of the stream, so you can always walk by the stream without getting your shoes wet. If you are interested, you may wish to bring your swimsuit and play in the water.
Second, Matou Mountain in Zhejiang Province
Matou Mountain is located in the middle reaches of Lingjiang River in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province, with peculiar landform and elegant environment. Seeing Matou Mountain in Jiangbei looks like a natural sculpture-Matou Mountain, hence its name. At the foot of the mountain, next to the 104 national road, there is a memorial arch of "Matou Mountain Scenic Area". There is a pair of lovely stone lions in front of the memorial archway, gazing at each other and looking very loving. The male lion on the right holds colorful balls in his arms, with ferocious teeth and great power; The lioness on the left, with a cub in her arms, always smiles and receives the guests here kindly. According to legend, this pair of stone lions was shipped from Taiwan Province Province when Ye, a native of Matoushan, was the company commander of Taiwan Province Province (the first year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty) and placed at the entrance of the ancestral temple. During the Cultural Revolution, he was listed as the four elders and sank into the river. At night, the river was golden, saying it was spiritual, and it was salvaged. Look at each part carefully, and the workmanship is meticulous and lifelike.
Passing through the archway is the stone steps leading to the top of the mountain. The stone steps are all paved with stone slabs. It is said that there are more than 65,438+0,000 steps, with green orange trees on both sides. The tree is covered with orange stones, and the old farmer carries water and sprays medicine. It seems that this year will be another bumper year. Halfway up the hill, I was sweating like a pig, and there were arbutus trees crossing my head. Remembering that I stole Yangmei when I was herding cattle as a child, I picked one and took a bite. Although it is very sour and astringent, it is a good enjoyment for me with a thirsty throat.
Climb up again, enter Maolin to repair bamboo, and see a temple through the bamboo forest, which is the Jinyun Temple in Matou Mountain. It was built in the thirty years of Qing Qianlong. Like many historic sites, it was rebuilt on 1965 after vicissitudes. The stone relief of the word "Jinyuntang" on the door can witness its history.
Kaikouyan is the only place to reach the top of the mountain. Although she is not beautiful or dangerous, lying under a rock is definitely more comfortable than an air-conditioned room in hot summer 100 times, even if it is central air conditioning, because it is a gift from nature. Bypass the open rocks, and stone buildings are waiting for you. This stone building has five floors and a mixed structure. Each floor has a different landscape, and you can see different landscapes. On the third floor, to the north, there is a path next to a towering ancient camphor tree. Sunlight passes through, leaving a broken shadow. Looking up, the leaves are dark green and light yellow, and there are red old leaves, a beautiful picture; Looking down, the roots grow in cracks in the rocks, and some cling to the stone walls. Alas, they are still thriving in the crevices of the stone to survive! The stone wall on the fourth floor is engraved with the inscription "Broad Sky" by calligrapher Mr. Li. The font is clear, strong and powerful, and there is a seal cutting "Shilou Cave" on the left, so the author has no way to verify it. There is a hole in the sky deep in the top floor. Look up and you can see the sky.
To the top of the mountain, you have to go back to the fourth floor. If there are no steel handrails beside you, you have to land on your hands and feet and climb carefully. After this hurdle, it's much easier to walk, even though the road is small. Every grass, tree and stone on the mountain is so kind and lovely. Purple maple brains, red and orange frenzy, vines on rocks, firewood in crevices and unknown miscellaneous trees are all so beautiful and full of vitality. Stones, each piece is very clean, and sitting or lying casually will not stain your clothes; The pile of stones is a mess, but it is beautiful when you look closely. I'll call them irregular beauties!
Climb to the top of the mountain and get a panoramic view.
To the south, there is a bamboo forest in Huang Tu Mountain, Jintai Expressway, 104 national highway double track and sky-blue factories on both sides, and there are many buildings in the township;
In the west, there is a uniform villa-style building with white walls and blue tiles inlaid with golden glazed tiles. Qingtantou, once a mountain village for hybrid rice seed production, has now become a modern industrial village and a "charming village" in Taizhou. After the transformation, the chemical industry zone is no longer blocked by the nose, and the factory area and the two sides of the national highway are afforested, becoming a beautiful landscape; Lingjiang, 104 National Highway and Yongtaiwen Expressway form a geometric figure, which is really beautiful. Extending along the expressway are the Qianaoyang entrance and the Lingjiang Bridge.
Lingjiang meanders eastward, and the newly built ships on the river stand proudly, waiting to fight the sea; Sand beads, like an emerald, are embedded in the Lingjiang River. The mountains in Yongquan have been turned into terraced fields, as if they saw the image of Dazhai people in the 1960s and 1970s, but now they are planting oranges, loquats and bayberries. Yong-Tai-Wen Railway flies across Lingjiang River like a white dragon, and the T-shaped pier in the river is huge. Let's greet each other with an alien analogy. The top of the distant mountain peak has been cut off, and it will become flat in a few years. It is no longer a myth that the foolish old man moved mountains. Maple leaf shipping industry, ocean shipping industry and Changshun shipping company set up a dragon gate array on both sides of Lingjiang River, under which a 10,000-ton ship was born, and the shipbuilding industry on both sides of Lingjiang River flourished.
Looking around, I was filled with emotion. The pace of development of the times is like a highway. Looking ahead, the scenery here is unique. The hot sun and hunger overhead told me it was noon, but I haven't seen enough, I haven't swam enough. No time to look at the fairy bed, toad looking at the moon, fairy chess table in the southwest. I leave a feeling here:
Climb Matou Mountain to see all kinds of colors, count romantic figures and look at the banks of Lingjiang River!
