tourist resources
Rich in tourism resources
Geographical landscape:
Heshan City is a typical Castel terrain with towering, rugged and majestic peaks. It is a good place to travel and relieve stress and troubles, but it has not been carved by hand. The steep cliff is the first choice for outdoor rock climbing. In caves, stalactites are magnificent, unpredictable and beautiful (unfortunately, there are not enough protection and more signs of destruction, but they are still better than some high-grade cave landscapes. )
Eight scenic spots have been discovered, including Yuping Mountain in North Temple and Zhuang Cultural Site in Siguangzhai Mountain. In addition, the rural scenery of Lianchi, Siguang Moon Cave and Heshan Tunshan in Xia Di has its own unique style. The rare stone resources found in the saddle section of Hongshui River have high artistic appreciation and collection value and are well-known at home and abroad.
The legend of the scenery is beautiful and moving. For example, it is said that ancestors led their families and neighbors to travel long distances to Siguang Mountain and rest in a cave that looks only a dozen meters. An adult put a four-year-old child around his neck on a cliff, which is nearly two meters high. Unexpectedly, the child was about to stand up when he "plopped" and disappeared. Adults quickly climbed the cliff and drove to a small hole with a diameter of only about 30 cm. The child's crying came from the hole. The child's father had to put his foot down, step on a protruding stalactite, squat down, enter the cave, jump off the stalactite, pick up the child and hold it in his arms. I was about to climb the stalactite when I suddenly felt that this hole was a good hiding place, so I stretched out my arm and measured the size of the hole, but I couldn't touch the edge. Pay it back quickly. Hearing this, people outside are very happy. They went into the cave a meter away and couldn't see their fingers. They lit a torch and walked forward. They met a fork in the road, turned left at a fork in the road, and then turned right at the next intersection. I don't know how many intersections I have passed, but I found a light in front of me. I walked towards the light, and when I got out of the hole, I was suddenly enlightened. I saw a fairy with wings playing by the pool, just like a dragonfly. When fairies saw someone coming, they smiled at each other and flew away like a distance, out of sight. Thirdly, in the "fairyland", there are foods everywhere, including bananas, guava, sweet potatoes, cassava, taro, corn, wormwood, water spinach and bitter vegetables. There are also big carp, pond horn fish, river shrimp and crabs in the river. The villagers were so happy that they cut down trees to build houses and planned to live in this fairyland for a long time. However, when I left home, I was in a hurry and missed many necessities. It is agreed that young and strong men and adult women go home to move things in the dark. A group of people went home to carry things to the mouth of the cave and then went back to the cave. How do you know? The passage in the cave is so complicated that they can't find the marks they drew when they came out. After many turns, they returned to the mouth of the cave. Helpless, I had to stay in the house outside the cave until I recovered my strength. After that, I settled here and thrived.
Since then, villagers outside the cave often venture into the cave because they miss their loved ones left in the cave. Some of them can turn to the mouth of the cave and return to the village, while others can't find a way out and starve to death in it.
When the Japanese invaded, they heard that there were treasures in the cave, so they wanted to explore them, but they never came back. It is said that later explorers also found their bodies. Anyway, no one can enter the legendary fairyland again.
Human landscape:
The primitive Zhuang nationality in Heshan still retains many ancient festival customs: drinking the spring water of Longwang Temple on February 2nd, singing folk songs on March 3rd, and making colorful glutinous rice to worship ancestors in April in Tomb-Sweeping Day. It's delicious, it's definitely not the taste of ordinary glutinous rice, and it's dyed with pure natural colored grass, which is absolutely healthy. ) On May 5th, every household should take a bath with herbal soup to drive away evil spirits and diseases. June 6, drying clothes, every household takes out clothes and bedding to dry, an ancient disinfection method; On July 7, lovers put lotus lanterns on the banks of the Red River to pray for a century of harmony. Ghost Festival on July 14 is one of the most solemn festivals in the local area, and ancestors are sacrificed by killing chickens and hanging peach leaves in front of the door. A long time ago, there was a big drama in the country. I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know if I have it now. August 15 Lantern Festival, September 9 Chongyang Denggao, etc.
In addition, there are several Liuzhou snail powder and Guilin rice noodles in Heshan City, which is absolutely right in the middle. My mouth is watering at the thought. ) The braised dishes and special barbecues in food stalls are very different from those in Beijing, so I don't want to try them. Roasted mouse meat, roasted chicken wings, grilled fish, roasted leek, roasted day lily, roasted corn, etc. They are all really cooked, unlike some places where they are cooked first and then pretended to be cooked.
Roasting beggar chickens, calling flower rabbits, having barbecues and boating near the reservoir are popular holiday pastimes in Heshan City.
Night view of Heshan City, viewing pavilion of Heshan Park, New Century Square, Huaiji Reservoir, Beisi Aqueduct, Waterfall Spring and viewing pavilion of Heshan Park are also good places for citizens (villagers) to have fun.
