Zhejiang, China, with Liangzhu and Hemudu cultural sites, has a long history and rich cultural heritage. In the upper reaches of Qiantang River, at the intersection of Qujiang and Lingshan River, there is an obscure small county called Longyou. Although the county seat is small, its history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, when it was called "Gu Mi". It has been more than 2,500 years since then, and it is the second largest ancient capital in Zhejiang. Longyou Grottoes is located on a Linjiang hill 3 kilometers north of the county seat. Locals call this mountain "Copper tan shan". Fiona Fang is only a few miles away, but there are 24 workers' caves with different sizes and exquisite layout on the mountainside.

The main peak is called Pianping Peak, which rises abruptly at an altitude of 458 meters, so Zhenwu Mountain is also called Pianping Mountain. There is Zhenwu Temple on the mountain. It is a resort for literati to explore the ancient and secluded places all year round.
Climbing the mountain, "look up at the mountain, the sky is connected, and the stone path turns away." Xiling is not as good as Dongling. In retrospect, I want to sell my soul. "(Poem by Yang Weien in Qing Dynasty) Climb along the winding and gravel-covered path of Dongling or Xiling, and look up. The mountain is steep, the stone path is rugged, and it goes straight into the sky, and the breeze is blowing gently, and the white clouds pass overhead. "The fairy source is extremely dusty, and the clouds are green all around." When people tried their best to climb the last extremely steep stone steps and prepare to slowly set foot on the winding path, a picture of Penglai fairyland in Wang Mopa came into view: the top of the mountain was flat, about 50 meters, surrounded by green trees, ancient camphor trees soaring into the sky, bamboo, green flowers, flowers and birds singing. "Shan Ye is shrouded in blue and black floating smoke, and the stone wall is lonely. Look at the height of the platform, and the national wall is as small as a fist. " Looking out from the high platform, the mountains overlap in the north, and thousands of peaks compete and show. When it rains, all the valleys rush together, and the fog fills the air. After the gust of wind, there are waves. What a beautiful picture of green mountains and green waters. How can it not be fascinating? Looking down from the south, you can see the vastness of ten miles of plain, the vastness of fields, the country roads with small bridges and flowing water, and the villages with flowing streams. Not far away, the artificial lake is like a mirror, pedestrians are walking on the road, chickens and ducks are humming in the farmhouse, and the smoke from the roof is curled up, which is full of vitality.
There is a courtyard on the stage, named Pianping Daoyuan, which was originally built as a holy place of Taoism and is called "Little Wudang", hence the name Zhenwushan. Later, with the prosperity of Buddhism, this holy land was gradually replaced by the year of Amitabha. There is Xiufeng Temple on the mountain, which is authentic in Cao Dong, but the word Zhenwu still exists today, so Xiufeng Temple is also called Zhenwu Temple or Zhenwu Temple. White walls and blue tiles, pavilions and original buildings, dignified and simple. Unfortunately, this temple was destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. There is also an ancient well dug in Taichung, which is no more than ten feet deep and never dries up all the year round. The taste is sweet and mellow, which is inexhaustible for Taoist tourists. On the third day of March, Fang Fei, "The most important thing every year is to bask in the sun, burning incense like Miss Yun." Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, the spring is bright, azaleas are in full bloom all over the mountain, and tourists and pilgrims are everywhere.
It is worth mentioning that there was a thousand-year-old tea tree on Zhenwu Mountain. It is more than five feet high, with a canopy covering the sky, double petals and bright red flowers, occasionally light blue, pink and light yellow. The flowering period lasts for eight months from August of the lunar calendar to early March of the following year. 1939 On the third day of the third lunar month, Mr. Yu Shaosong, a famous scholar and painter, wrote an inscription for Camellia and asked people to build a wall for it to protect this precious "pearl". The inscription reads: "Wan Tingqian in Zhiming County taught in the early Qing Dynasty, and this tree is a treasure, which is contained in the county annals" Zhou Shu "to preserve historical sites. Cherish "Zhu Bao" because no one cultivated it, and died at the end of 1982.

Sandie Rock is located in the southeast of the county 15km, with the main peak and dangerous rocks standing upright, stone chambers like a building, overlapping three floors, hence the name Sandie Rock. Sandie Rock has beautiful scenery and strange caves. The first stack of caves is called Emperor Cave, named after Zhu Yuanzhang took refuge here.

One day, when I was climbing the mountain, I saw chickens crowing among thorns, so I went to feed them. Only after winning a dozen platinum medals did I know that I had lost my official position. Later generations therefore "crow" their mountains. Due to serious soil erosion, the cultural layer of the site was basically destroyed.

In ancient times, scallion oil lake was considered to be a place of crouching tiger. In the year of drought, people flocked to seek "Dragon Water". I am also used to changing the clouds at the top of the green onion lake into sunny rain. The mountains are overcast with clouds, and it will rain, which is very effective. Jiang Meiqiong, a righteous man in Qing Dynasty, once wrote the quatrain of "Swimming in the Green Lake": According to legend, hidden dragons are boundless, and they visit the Green Lake through economic aid. Mountains stand on vines like walls, and people spread their wings like birds. Wan Li watched from a distance and didn't sit and play for a while, longing for a visit to famous mountains.
