Lagerstroemia speciosa in Hangzhou

Flying clouds on Jade Emperor Mountain

There is a cave on the mountainside of Huang Yu. Standing in front of the cave overlooking, there is a Bagua field at the foot of the mountain, which is the place where the Southern Song Emperor sacrificed crops. There are two niches on the south slope of Ciyun Mountain at the foot of Huang Yu Mountain, which are statues of the Five Dynasties and are one of the representative stone carvings in China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Yuhuang Mountain is located between the West Lake and Qiantang River, with an altitude of 239 meters. The sky is abrupt, and the blue sky and white clouds set off, making this mountain look magnificent. Whenever there is a storm, I stand on the top of the mountain and climb the Yunting Pavilion, but I hear the sound of the wind blowing. Sometimes the clouds come and fly away. Lakes and mountains, vast rivers and mountains, this scene is called "Jade Emperor Flying Clouds". Because of its grandeur and loftiness, it was selected as one of the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake.

Jade Emperor Mountain, also known as Yulong Mountain, was called Longshan in ancient times. In the Five Dynasties, wuyue Wuzeng greeted the statue of King Ashoka in Mingzhou and dedicated it here, so the Mountain is also called Ashoka Mountain. The title of "Jade Emperor" actually began in the early Qing Dynasty, because a large-scale Taoist Jade Emperor Mountain was built on the top of the mountain, which was named Jade Emperor Mountain after the palace. Yu Dafu, a modern writer, once wrote a travel note "Jade Emperor Mountain", in which one paragraph reads: "Looking up, you and your husband are surrounded by peaks around the West Lake in the northwest; The southwest is a river with leaves and sails, which can come at the call and go away; Looking east at Haimen, there is a little peak, and the weather on both sides of the tidal road is more majestic; As for the mountain on the other side, the giant tower by the river, because it is condescending and overlooking, I don't think it can be inserted. "

Starting from Linhaige at the northern foot of Huang Yu, you can reach Ciyunling in less than ten minutes along the stone steps paved with bluestone. Ciyunling is the dividing line between Huangyushan and Fenghuang Mountain. There is a site of Wuyue Dengyuntan on the ridge, which was later changed to Ciyun Palace. After the abolition of the Jade Emperor Mountain Taoist Temple, this tacit understanding was transformed into a longevity garden with beautiful flowers and trees and exquisite stones. On the south slope of Ciyun Mountain, before the drought, there was a Buddhist temple and a stone dragon courtyard, as well as two niches of Buddha carved by wuyue. It is the representative work of the West Lake Grottoes. From Ciyunling westbound, all the way is shaded by willows, with trees everywhere, grotesque rocks and birds singing frequently. Suddenly, the mountain road rose, and a steep slope appeared in front of us, called the golden threshold, which means that only here can we reach the gate. Climb over the golden threshold, continue to climb along the mountain road from the top side of Zilai Cave, and you can see the lucky star on the top of Huang Yu Mountain. Fuxing Temple was built in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the Jade Palace was once the largest Taoist building in the West. It has a complete palace-like building complex, with the mountain gate, Zhenwu Hall, Daluobao Hall and Banmu Pavilion in turn on the central axis, and Sanqing Hall, Sanguan Hall and ancillary buildings on both sides.

Now, the Taoist temple has long since disappeared, but the architectural pattern has been largely preserved. At the same time, Deng Yun Pavilion and Wanghulou were newly built for tourists to overlook the "Triple River", "Pagoda of Six Harmonies Shadow" and "lakes and mountains". In the old days, Daomen once advertised "Sixty-four Scenes of Jade Emperor Mountain". Although it is suspected that the leaders swept away the eight, eight and sixty-four hexagrams of Taoism and made up several figures, it also shows that Yuhuang Mountain does have many potential landscape resources, some of which have been loved by people. For example, looking down from the mountainside to the south, you can enjoy the scenery of Bagua field. Bagua Tianyuan was the birthplace of the Southern Song Emperor who held a symbolic ceremony to persuade farmers. Later, it evolved into an octagonal field, with the river map hill in the center and divided into eight pieces around it. Different crops have been planted, and the colors of the four seasons are different, forming an image of gossip, which can be called a great spectacle of climbing Jade Emperor Mountain.

Manguilong language

Appreciating osmanthus and tasting tea are the most popular things here.

Visit the West Lake in autumn, enjoy the moon during the day and at night. Nanshan Manjue Dragon is the most prosperous place to enjoy Guangxi. Osmanthus fragrans is the city flower of Hangzhou. Osmanthus fragrans has been planted in the West Lake since the Tang Dynasty. In the early West Lake poems, every time Gui entered the poems, it was planted by Lingyin and Tianzhu temples in the north of the West Lake. It was after the Ming Dynasty that Osmanthus fragrans was enjoyed in autumn. Manjuelong, also known as Manjia Lane, is a valley at the southern foot of Nanfeng. During the reign of Wu Yueshi, there were many small Buddhist temples here, including a Yuanxing Temple, which was later changed to Manjue Temple. This land was named after a temple, and the flowers were planted by monks, which gradually became a grand view. In Gao Lian's Four Seasons Appreciation in the mid-Ming Dynasty, there was an article "Watching Osmanthus fragrans at Home", which wrote: "Nanshan and Longjing are the most prosperous places for Osmanthus fragrans, and Lin Ruo is also the place where the place names are everywhere. A village takes the city flower as its industry, and all provinces take it as their industry. In autumn, Ceqian went into the mountains to see the flowers, and he felt the fragrance a few miles away. Walking into the path, Zhu Yingqiong's tree, full of fragrance, was deeply appreciated and suddenly entered the world of vultures and golden millet. "

Osmanthus fragrans, scientific name "Osmanthus fragrans", is a small evergreen tree, which likes humidity. Manjuelong is surrounded by two mountains, with lush trees and abundant underground water, and the environment is suitable for osmanthus growth. The mountain people here take planting osmanthus and selling flowers as their main sources of income, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and finally created this "golden millet world". Now every household is planting sweet-scented osmanthus, in front of and behind the house, outside the village, all over the hillside, on both sides of the road, in clusters, layer by layer, everywhere. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are several golden winds and cool rains, and the autumn sun returns, and the osmanthus trees are full, stretching for ten miles and penetrating the heart, just as Zhang Xie 'ao's seven-character quatrain "Pin Gui" in the Qing Dynasty says: "The West Lake is clear in August, where is it fragrant? There are golden millet beside Manjue Dragon, and the wind blows Shan Ye in autumn. " Osmanthus fragrans includes Jingui, Yin Gui, Dangui and Sijigui. When the flowers bloom, small flowers bloom like thick dew, often falling with the wind, as dense as rain beads, bathed in "rain", fragrant among osmanthus trees, and have a special taste. After "Manguilong Rain" was shortlisted for the Ten Scenes of the New West Lake, Manjuelong Village, with the support of relevant departments, held the West Lake Golden Autumn Osmanthus Festival in September and 10 every year. In the Nanshan area, traffic and water are blocked, and the autumn tour of the West Lake adds another big affair.

Longjing tea scenic spot

If you want to know about Longjing culture, this is the best choice. It is said that if you gently stir Longjing water with a small stick, there will be a watershed on the sand surface, which is very strange. West Lake Longjing is produced in Longjing Village, west of Longjing. It is famous for its green color, rich fragrance, mellow taste and beautiful shape.

How wonderful the West Lake is: Bai Causeway vs Su Causeway, Long Bridge vs Short Bridge, Lingyin vs Kyocera, Tiger Run vs Longjing. Longjing is located on Fengling Mountain, which is the intersection of two tributaries of the West Lake. There are dense forests, vast water interception areas, lush springs and inexhaustible droughts. The ancients thought that the dragon lived here, and Wudong people came here to beg for rain during the Three Kingdoms period, hence the name Longjing.

Longjing's prosperity began in the non-abundant years of the Northern Song Dynasty. After the retirement of Longjing, the eloquent master of Shangtianzhu Temple, people who came to visit and ask questions went from the county magistrate to the villagers. For the convenience of tourists, eloquence is to raise funds to improve the mountain, open canals and plant bamboo widely, forming a winding mountain road, which has become a winding ridge and a thoroughfare. After the opening of the mountain road, the incense of Longjing Temple gradually flourished and the number of tourists increased. The debate is hospitable. Give each visitor a cup of fragrant tea grown and baked in the mountains as a gift. There are many customers and great demand for tea. There are many tea gardens in the forest around Longjing Temple.

It is generally believed that the place where Longjing Spring is located today is the former site of Longjing Temple, but it was after the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty that the former Longjing Temple was located in Longjing Village, West Lake Township, where authentic Longjing tea is now produced in West Lake. Although the "West Lake Longjing", which loves to drink loose tea, was initially formed after the early Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly an abuse of Longjing, which is famous for its tea. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the reputation of Longjing tea rose sharply, and one of them was highly praised by literati. For example, Tian Yiheng's Boiling Spring says: "Today, the Wulin (referring to Hangzhou) spring only talks about Long Hong's character, and tea only talks about Long Hongshan." For another example, Yuan Mei> said, "Hangzhou Camellia is everywhere, and Longjing is the best. Every time I go back to my hometown, I will see the grave keeper bring me a cup of tea. The water is green and the rich can't eat it. " Second, it was appreciated by the emperor.

When Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River to have tea in Longjing, West Lake, he sealed 18' imperial trees' under Lion Peak in Longjing Village and inscribed' Eight Scenes of Longjing' in Longjing Temple. Up to now, a considerable number of notes can still be found between the cliffs. He also writes Longjing tea songs. 1985, Longjing Tea was selected as one of the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake. Since then, not only the tea here, but also the scenery here has doubled in value. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, tea farmers in Grain Rain get together to fry tea, and the fragrance in the forest is overflowing. It is the first pleasure for tourists to visit tea, taste new tea and ask about the history and interest of tea.

Travel tips

1, the real Longjing tea production is very small, and most of them are exported abroad, so don't buy Longjing tea easily in Longjing Village, where the aunt seems simple, but the tea you bought from her at a high price is not necessarily "authentic", which is not as good as the larger shopping malls in the city.

2. Starting from Longjing, there are two routes suitable for friends who have plenty of time and like climbing mountains. A: Go through Phoenix Ridge and Longjing Village, and you can go to Jiuxi Yan Shu. Walking from the terminal of Longjing 27 Road to the bus stop of Zhijiang Road at the southern end of Jiuxi, the whole journey is 6 kilometers and takes 2 hours. B: From the mountain road to the north of Longjing, cross Qipanling, and reach Tianzhu and Lingyin. It's 5 kilometers from the mountain road. It takes two hours to walk.

Huanglong cave in green clothes

The legend of Huanglong and the dense bamboo forest have won the reputation of the new ten scenic spots in the West Lake, but what we often see here is wedding celebrations.

At the northern foot of Qixialing in the north of the West Lake, in the depths of Maolin Bamboo Cultivation, there is a Huanglong Cave historic site, which is quite blessed by Taoism. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Huanglong Cave has enjoyed a high reputation and is one of the five dragon gods on the lake. Among the 24 scenic spots in Hangzhou, there is a scene of "Huangshan Gathering Cuisine", which means 1985, Huanglong Cave, which combines religious and cultural connotations with temple gardens, was built into an antique amusement park and was selected as one of the top ten scenic spots in the new West Lake.

The center of the scenic spot is full of clear water ponds, surrounded by rockeries and pavilions. A sculpture with bulging eyes, upturned nose and upturned beard on the moss rock spits out a clear spring gambling pool and plays music tinkling. Towering boulders stand in the water beneath it, engraved with the famous sentence "If the water is not deep, the dragon is the spirit" in Liu Tang Yuxi's "Humble Room Inscription". In recent years, it has been transformed into a circular folk antique amusement park. Huanglong Cave is close to rocks, with beautiful bamboo forests and full of green in the garden, which is full of charm. There are many bamboos and bamboo shoots. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, it begins to rain lightly, warm wind blows on the face, and bamboo shoots that break through the ground or turn over rocks are everywhere, which is unstoppable; Or two or three clusters, the competition is fierce. The quiet mountain forest is full of vitality everywhere.

There is a long and winding path between the gate and the second gate of Huanglong Cave. If you look down from the air, it looks like an old tree along the road in Youlong, with flowers and plants clearing the pool, low walls leaking windows, and the scenery can be appreciated. It is called "guide" in the composition of temple gardens, just like a prelude, which plays a role in changing from vulgarity to purity, adjusting mentality and gradually improving scenery for tourists.

According to the ups and downs of the mountain and terrain, the rockery in Huanglong Cave is built with mud yellow sandstone blocks, or isolated peaks are shaped like boulders or stacked into peaks. Looking from a distance, the stone peaks are like forests, and the mountains are green; It is full of twists and turns, transparent and ethereal, majestic and elegant. This is quite different from the exquisite and typical style of Suzhou garden rockery, which shows the advantages and charm of the gardening art of Shanlin Temple, which is close to nature, integrated with nature, unique and without leaving traces.

Huanglong Cave has a long history of bamboo scenery and a unique bamboo trail. The vigorous and graceful bamboo is more than ten meters high, and the forest meets the sea; Small white bamboo is as short as twenty or thirty centimeters, which is lovely; Purple bamboo with thin and black stems is said to have been introduced from Putuo Mountain earlier. Luohan bamboo, penholder bamboo and jade bamboo inlaid with gold are dotted in rockeries, gardens and other places, which have a cool charm. The most worth seeing is the bamboo of the square bamboo. "The body is like a cut, but the force is equivalent to a column, which is also different." There are many bamboos and bamboo shoots. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, light rain begins and warm wind blows on the face. Here, on the wall, along the road, under the mountain and behind the court, bamboo shoots are springing up everywhere, and some are turning over stones, which is unstoppable; Some are clustered in twos and threes, and the competition is fierce. The quiet Huanglong Cave Garden is full of vitality.

Yunxi Zhujing Scenic Area

"Bamboo" is the protagonist here, and its green, fresh, cool and quiet make it win among many beautiful scenery.

Yun Qi is located at the foot of Wuyun Mountain, about15km away from the West Lake, far away from the noise. A secluded path, starting from Sanju Pavilion in the west, meanders into the depths of the forest, shaded by ancient trees, rustling with poles and swaying with bamboo shadows, weaving a huge thick green cloud, drowning the coldness of the world of mortals and swaying the vitality of Shan Ye. As you can see, the friendship between man and nature is everywhere.

Historically, Yun Qi Temple was built in wuyue; At the end of Ming Dynasty, master lianchi Fuxing Mountain Gate, a monk of Pure Land Sect; Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited again and again. 1985, the Bamboo Trail in Yun Qi, which has the reputation of "the first Olympic area with lakes and mountains", is generally regarded as the first of the ten scenic spots in the new West Lake.

Five Sacred Mountains

The beauty of mountains and rivers in Jiangnan naturally accounts for only 10%, and humanity is the real reason for its glory. Su Dongpo, Mi Fei and others. Everyone left their own handwriting here, and the romantic genius Xu Wenchang made the finishing touch on the couplets. Looking into the pavilion, you can see Zuo Hu (West Lake), Youjiang (Qiantang River) and Hangzhou.

Wu Shan is the tail of Nanshan, the West Lake, which extends to downtown Hangzhou. The Spring and Autumn Period was the southern boundary of the State of Wu. It consists of dozens of hills such as Ziyang, Yunju, Jindi, Qingping, Baolian, Qibao, Stone Buddha, Bao Yue, Camel and Emei, and is called Wu Shan. Wu Shan is not high, but because it is inserted into the urban area, it is easy to get out of the streets in the east, north and northwest, and the south can overlook the Qiantang River and the flat areas on both sides. There is also a sense of flying beyond Wu Shan, which can win the victory of Hangzhou's rivers, mountains, lakes and cities.

Zhen Guan, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "The wind blows me to the hump, and the hills are exquisite. Qiu Jin, a modern heroine, left the legendary seven wonders of "Climbing Wu Shan": "The old tree blooms in the sunset, and the stone platform rises to the sky. The heroic spirit is boundless, the river and the sea are connected, and the mountains are in the middle. Among the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake, there is a landscape masterpiece full of the meaning of the unity of heaven, earth and man, which is the first to promote Wu Shan Tianfeng.

There are many ancient trees in Wushan. Zhang Ning, 800, and Long Bai, 600, have witnessed the long history of Wu Shan, which is admirable. There are as many as 15 ancient trees over 350 years old here. Many strange rocks in Wushan. From a certain point of view, the zodiac stone on the southern slope of Di Chin Mountain is similar to the dragon, tiger, rabbit and monkey, but scholars interpret it as the Twelve Peaks of Wushan Mountain. Another example is the hanging cloud peak, flying stone, Lv Yanzi, water-splashing Guanyin stone, Ruishi cave and Xiaqing cave, all of which are breathtaking. It is no wonder that Zhang Dai wrote a big article in Dream of the West Lake at the end of the Ming Dynasty: Wu Zhishi is both strange and beautiful. "One rock and one wall can linger for a day."

Wushan Mountain is not high and has a unique theme. There are abundant forests and mountains extending in all directions. In the Southern Song Dynasty, more and more temples were built. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, commercial shops swarmed in, temples were everywhere, and pilgrims and tourists jostled each other. This is a lively scene. The City God Temple is the largest temple in Wu Shan, which looks like a palace building and its base address can be found. The temple is empty, with towering ancient trees, strict weather and lush camphor trees. In people's minds, the city god temple in those days could not be taken lightly, so that even the name of the mountain was called Huang Chengshan because of the temple.

There were many temples in the old society, which enabled the Four Seasons Temple Fair in Wu Shan to continue and attracted people from all walks of life, becoming a living exhibition hall of local folk customs in Hangzhou. Every February and March festivals such as Lunar New Year, Shixiang, Dragon Boat Festival and Long Summer, people in the mountains and outside the mountains are as bustling and lively as the tide. Bodhisattvas and statues in various temples, as long as there is a little "origin", will have a "birthday" every year, and there will be some celebrations. Temple fairs are crowded with tourists, attracting a large number of practitioners in special industries, such as fortune telling, fortune telling, word measuring stalls, selling calligraphy and painting, juggling, acrobatics and ordinary shopkeepers setting up stalls to do business.

Wu Shan also left many traces of historical and cultural celebrities. Ouyang Xiu, a literary master in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote an inscription for Youmei Hall in Wu Shan: "Qiantang has the beauty of the world, and people who come to Tang have the beauty of Qiantang! Lu You visited Wu Shan many times in his later years in the Southern Song Dynasty, leaving famous works such as Reading Gu Quan. Xu Wei and Chen Hongshou, outstanding painters in Ming Dynasty, once lived in Xishuang Pavilion of Huode Temple in Wu Shan and created poems and paintings. The first batch of people in the Qing Dynasty gathered in Wu Shan to gather elegant collections, talk about the past and present, and enjoy the nymphs. A literary generalist like Li Yu, his family moved to Tieyeling, Wu Shan. He wrote a couplet for his new house: "The old industry throws dust into the city; Hushan recruited me, and the whole family moved to paint. 》

In the early years of the Republic of China, the Wu Shan Grand View was devastated with the opening of the new lakeside market in Hangzhou. After the founding of New China, Wu Shan has become a good place for people to relax, play, explore secluded places and visit the ancient times because of its urban scenery and wild interests. On the Meitang site at the top of Ziyang Mountain, there is a towering pavilion in the rivers and lakes. The old Prince Temple and Wang Yao Temple were converted into Jim Pavilion, Mingxiang Tower and Fairy Hall. Visitors stroll around, lean on the fence in the small building, and linger with the beautiful scenery and beautiful tea; The heritage of Zhongxing Temple in Dongyue has been properly protected for people to mourn the heritage of Song Dynasty and explore the changing track of ancient buildings in Hangzhou. Baocheng Temple has been renovated, and the statue of Madi Gala in the Yuan Dynasty is slightly contemptuous of key cultural relics protection units in Zhejiang Province for people to enjoy; At the foot of Shandong, the ancestral temple of the Southern Song Dynasty left its scale claws with the urban construction, and a ancestral temple in Nanning left its park on the blueprint.

Ruandu huanbi scenic spot

A green island in the West Lake has the illusion of going back in time because of a maid in ancient costume's tea worship and light singing and dancing. On summer and autumn nights, there is also an antique tour here. Maids dressed in ancient costumes offer tea, play guqin and dance like a lifetime ago.

Attractions: There are three artificial islands in the West Lake: Zhou Xiaoying (Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon), Hu Xinting (Beitaji) and Ruan Gongdun. Ruan Gongdun was dredged by Ruan Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang Province, in the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800) and became an island, so it was later called Ruan Gongdun. Because of its soft soil and low terrain, it is often submerged by lake water, commonly known as soft beach. After Ruan Gongdun became an island, miscellaneous trees were lush, overgrown with weeds and innocent.

198 1 year, Huanbi Villa was built on the island. This is a manor garden that imitates the pattern of private villas in the south of the Yangtze River. Its name is Huanbi, which tells people that she has taken advantage of the unique advantages of scenery, lakes and mountains. The village is bigger than the forest, swaying with the wind and quite antique. The manor on the island is surrounded by hedges, and there are huts and bamboo pavilions in the park, and the small buildings are surrounded by blue clouds and water houses, which are light and dexterous. There are Cinnamomum camphora, Pterocarya stenoptera, Cinnamomum cassia, Lagerstroemia indica, Xiuzhu, Banana, Ivy, etc. It is quiet and simple. Near the water on the island, don't set up a memorial pavilion to remember Ruan Yuntai (Ruan Yuan Yuntai) who managed the lake and built the West Lake.

Nine streams in the misty forest

"Flow" is the main body here. With the company of mountains and trees, the water is more elegant.

Yu Yue, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, said in a poem: "Nine streams and eighteen streams are the best places in the mountains. I have heard about it for a long time, but now my interest in it is poor. Mountain after mountain winds around the road. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. " Between the lines, the beauty of the beautiful scenery is vividly portrayed. After being designated as the new ten scenic spots, it was renamed as "Jiuxi Smoke Tree".

Jiuxi, commonly known as "Jiuxi Eighteen Rivers". Located in the mountains to the west of the West Lake, under the peak of a cockscomb. Longjing in the north and Qiantang River in the south. Originated at the foot of Yang Meiling Mountain in Wengjiashan, it flows into Qianjiang River through Wanqing, Hongfa, Tangjia, Xiaokang, Shi Fo, Baizhang, Yun Qi, Qingtou and Fangjiajiu streams.

The landscape of the West Lake began to develop in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and the scenery became more and more exquisite, so that some people thought it was too carved. Actually, it is not. Located in the southwest corner of Yunshan Mountain on three sides of the West Lake, Jiuxi Shiliu has an' Asian' shape on the plane and flows into Qiantang River from north to south. It is generally called Jiuxi in the province. Here the mountains are rolling, the trees are dense, the sun is shining, the Cui Wei is full and the scenery is pleasant; In case of rainy days, the clouds are lingering, the smoke is fluttering and the scenery is wonderful. Nine streams are mountainous, nine streams are rich in water, and mountains and rivers are full of green trees, weeds and flowers. Bamboo, wood, flowers and grass endow Shan Ye with beauty and spirituality, and then render smoke and haze, so the whole presents feminine, simple and wild beauty, which is also the fundamental reason why Jiuxi Tobacco Tree can rank among the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake.

From the west of Pagoda of Six Harmonies to the north of Xucun in Qiantang River, a long scroll of landscapes and villages is gradually presented. At the beginning, rice fields were in pieces, villages were surrounded by mountains, and the pastoral scenery was beautiful; Then, the mountains gradually approached, as if to kiss each other, the mountain stream hummed by the roadside, and the vegetation by the stream was beautiful. As the road turns deeper and deeper, the mountains are green, the trees are green, the grass is green and the mountains are green. Unconsciously, people have entered the evergreen forest and merged with Shan Ye. Yu Yue (Qu Yuan), a great scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, praised Jiuxi in Tang Chun Lun. He wrote: "The victory of the West Lake lies not in the lake, but in the mountains. Bai Letian is called a gazebo with a cold spring, which is the most beautiful and secluded. The rest are called Jiuxi Eighteen Rivers, which is the best place in the West Lake, especially on the cold spring. "

However, the beauty of Jiuxi lies in its natural, ordinary, wild and natural beauty. Visitors must swim with a normal heart to discover all kinds of unusual beauty of mountains and rivers. To visit Jiuxi, you should slow down your pace and mind, and enjoy the cliffs, haze, green trees, the sound of streams, birds singing and clouds here. Don't come and go in a hurry, you will live up to the beautiful scenery of Yunshan. Two tributaries of Jiuxi 18 streams with more than "Ya" shape meet at Xixi Restaurant to form a lower trunk and flow into Qiantang River. From the' Creek in the Creek' to the east along the Creek, there is a' Nine Creeks', which can reach Yang Meiling Village. All this way, mountains and rivers, old trees meet each other, and the shadows can be comparable to the famous Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve in western Zhejiang. From the' Creek in the Creek' to the west, it is the' Eighteen Creeks', with peaks and turns all the way, and the melody of Qingxi is high and low, sudden and slow; Or shallow or circuitous at the foot of the mountain, or sneaking in the crevices of the stone, or overflowing on the road, falling lightly from the vacancy of the stepping stone, splashing a fine drop of water and sprinkling a string of laughter. I don't know how many mountain screens, several valleys, the sound of chickens and dogs, the shadow of blue tiles and white walls in the dense forest, and Longjing Village, a tea town, suddenly embarked on the road. I don't know which village, which shop, how many mountains and how much water are in front of me.

Tiger-dug Spring (in Hangzhou)

"Longjing Tea Tiger Flowing Water" is also known as the West Lake. This is also the place where Jigong and Yanhe died.

The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and the lakes and mountains are interlocking. The closely connected "emissary" is the lush spring in Yunxi Mountain in Sannan. Tiger Running Spring, located at the foot of Daci Mountain, is the best spring in the West Lake. The name of Tiger Running Spring originated from Buddhist myths and legends. In fact, it is a secular reflection of the development, protection, utilization and even preservation of the famous spring of West Lake in history, which is closely related to the rise and fall of Buddhism, Taoism and temples.

"Tiger Run", or Tiger Run Spring, is located in Dinghui Temple in Dacishan. The name "Tiger Run" comes from "Mooncherry". Legend has it that a monk lived here in the Tang Dynasty, and later he was ready to move out because of lack of water. One day, in his dream, he was instructed by God: "There is a boy spring in Mount Hengshan, Nanyue, and two tigers are born." The next day, I saw two tigers running to make holes and spew out springs. "Old Tiger Running Mooncherry" got its name from this. Tiger Run is called "the third spring in the world", and the fun of browsing Tiger Run lies in the "spring". After entering the mountain gate, the clear spring makes a string-like sound under its feet, just like drops of beads falling on a plate in pipa music. Tiger running spring is very clear, and the water quality is clean. Longjing tea is tiger running water, which has always been known as "the two wonders of the West Lake". From listening to the spring, seeing the spring, tasting the spring and testing the spring to "Mooncherry", people can naturally enter a vivid and fantastic realm. "Tiger Run" is also the burial place of the well-known legend "Jigong", where "Jigong Hall" and "Jigong Tower" are located. Li Shutong, a master of modern art, became a monk here, and the memorial room of Master Hongyi also attracted people's attention.

Hupao Spring is a fissure spring formed by groundwater flowing through joints and crevices of rocks. It seeps out of seasonal sandstone and can't even dissolve ordinary acid. Its water quality is pure, the total salinity is low, and the radioactive rare element radon content is high. It is a high-quality natural drinking mineral water suitable for drinking and has considerable medical and health care functions. Therefore, it is called "West Lake" together with Longjing Tea.

Gemstone mountain floating in colorful clouds

The purple-brown rock of Baoshu Pagoda is the geological landscape of sea breeze.

In the clouds on three sides of the West Lake, Geling and Baoshishan form their own schools with unique scenery. Their mountains are all composed of Jurassic tuff, and the most common one is ignimbrite. The rocks here are ochre red, and there are many shiny red pebbles in the rock mass. Whenever the sun shines, the mountains are full of Wei Fen, especially when the sun is shining high or the sunset glow is red, which is particularly dazzling, as if countless gems are broken and shining. Gemstone Mountain is named after this, and the origin of "Gemstone Flowing Xia", one of the ten scenic spots in the new West Lake, is also here.

Geling and Baoshishan are the northern screens of the West Lake. Seen from the Broken Bridge and Bai Causeway, they seem to be an enlarged waterstone bonsai. Climb Geling and Baoshi Mountain, see Pinghu in the south, and the water waves ripple. North overlooking ten thousand acres of flat domain, row upon row; Dong Ze Street is a commercial port, and the market is full of vitality from other provinces; There are thousands of green trees in the west, and the greenery is far clear. The gem is at the top of Shandong, and the Bao Shu Tower stands tall and beautiful. Bao Liang's gentle and graceful and towering appearance is very consistent with Bao Liang's nickname "Beauty". This "beauty" was born in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. It turned out to be a nine-story brick-wood structure. Until the reconstruction in Ming Dynasty, it still maintained this structure with little difference from Pagoda of Six Harmonies and Leifeng Pagoda. The current solid brick style was copied from the Qing Dynasty when it was rebuilt in 1933. Although it can't be boarded, it has become a remarkable landmark of the West Lake with its beautiful "face" and prominent position. Ge Ling, according to legend, Ge Hong, an alchemist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was an alchemist on the ridge, hence the name.

The first balcony on the top of Geling Mountain was handed down from Ge Hong's alchemy. Every morning at sunrise, the four mountains are gloomy and the stage is bright. In an instant, the rising sun appears, the sun shines brightly, and the sky is red and strange. "Ge Cui Chao Zuo" was listed as one of the ten scenic spots in Qiantang as early as the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that Chu balcony can also see the sun and the moon on the first day of October of the lunar calendar every year and climb the wonders. The West Lake written by Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty describes that when the sun rises, birds flock and look at Xia Qi from a distance. One shadow shines on another, and the sun and the moon rise side by side. However, "Hangzhou Customs Legacy" was written during the Tongzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty, saying: "It is necessary to dawn in the sky and bathe in the sea at the beginning of the red sun. From a distance, on the western horizon, there is a circle, which covers the clouds, and that is the moon. After a few minutes, I can't see you. " The 1 1 1 year-old Buddhist in the Qing Dynasty wrote the Record of the Lake and the Legend of Hangzhou. There is a record in the book that the sun and the moon rose side by side on the early balcony of Jiaqing on September 30, 2004, which is different from the previous two paragraphs. The book says: "The east is getting brighter and the red clouds are rushing. One is red and the other is black, which is as big as the wheel and parallel to the top. Red people, like fireballs, are radiant; Black people are very black, as black as splashing ink, and the cover is also black in jathyapple. "

Because the wonders of the sun and the moon on the balcony can only be seen around the first day of 10, and it is already late autumn in Hangzhou every year, and the weather is gloomy, so there are few opportunities to witness it with your own eyes. The true face of this miracle has yet to be confirmed.
