At the foot of Lingfeng Peak, they merge into one stream and flow eastwards. To the north of Jiuqu, there is Houxi River surrounding Zizhi Peak and Guzi Peak from the right side of Lingfeng Peak to join Jiuqu; to the south of Jiuqu, there is Jiangdun Creek passing through Xiafei Island and joining Jiuqu. Surrounded by three streams and four streams, the Xingcun Plain is fertile, wild and flat, and the plains are flat, so "Pingchuan" has been used as the nickname of Xingcun since ancient times. Pingchuan area is full of fertile fields, with fragrant rice and millet, well-proportioned farmhouses, and the sound of chickens and dogs. It is like a paradise. Appreciating the scenic spots here is said to be the prelude to rafting down the Jiuqu River. During the ancient retrograde boat tour, it was enjoyed as the end of the lying tour. Zhu Xi, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, wrote in the last song of "Nine Songs of Songs" (***10 songs): "Nine songs will be poor, and the eyes will suddenly be opened, and the mulberry rain and dew will see the plains. The fisherman is looking for the road to Taoyuan, except for the world. "One day." The two big characters "Jiuqu" are engraved on the rock wall of Zhangyan where Jiuqu will meet Baqu.

Qiyun Peak is one of the ninety-nine famous rocks in Wuyi Mountain. The peak is near Xingcun, located southwest of the starting point of Jiuqu River, high up into the sky, hence its name. It also looks like a blazing torch, so it is commonly known as the Flame Mountain (very different from the Flame Peak in the northern scenic area of ??the mountain). In ancient times, there was Qiyun Pavilion on the top of the peak, and Qiyun Nunnery and Shengzhe Nunnery on the waist of the peak. Looking down at the village at the foot of the mountain at a quiet night, you can see the lights of each house and the stars, which are called sky lanterns. Hence the name "Star Village".

According to legend, the mountain people evolved the landscape based on the story of "Journey to the West" in which Sun Wukong borrowed a banana fan from Princess Iron Fan to extinguish the fire in the Flaming Mountain, which is quite interesting.
Dolomite is one of the thirty-six peaks in Wuyi Mountain, also known as Lingfeng. In the northwest of Jiuqu, it is adjacent to the Sanjiao Peak of Baqu, towering among the clouds, hence its name.
Baiyun Temple is located on the mountainside of Dolomites. When you are on the Jiuqu raft tour and look north, you can see the ancient temple of the same name built in the Dolomites in the north of the stream. The temple is built next to a cliff and a stream, and looks like a hanging temple. If you want to set foot in the temple, you need to pass the Xingcun Bridge, follow the mountain road to the northeast for five miles, then reach the foot of the Dolomites, and then climb up the stairs to reach it. The temple was built in the Ming Dynasty and was destroyed many times. It was rebuilt and completed in 1994.
The temple is built along the long and narrow rock crevice of the Dolomites. At the end is the mountain gate, and in reverse order are the main hall and dining room. The main hall is suitable for being built in a deep and high place in a rock crevice, so it has two floors and a small and exquisite layout. Leaning on the railing and looking south, you can see the Jiuqu River floating like a ribbon, and the Flame Mountain in the distance to the southwest of the stream. Xu Xiake climbed here in the 44th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1616) and wrote: "Climb the tower and look south to the upper reaches of Jiuqu. There is a continent in the middle. The stream comes from the west, divides and surrounds it, and merges into one at the end of the curve. There are two islands outside the island. The mountain is gradually opening up, and the nine bends have been completed." ("Diary of Traveling to Wuyi Mountain", the same below) The mountains and rivers are all in sight, and it is a magnificent sight. Therefore, the famous monk Pengri in the Qing Dynasty carved the word "Grand View" on the Dolomite. This cliff stone carving can be seen on the back wall of the Buddhist niche in the main hall of Baiyun Temple.
From the back door of Baiyun Temple, you can see Sanjiao Peak, Cat's Ear Stone and other famous places. There is an ancient hiking trail at the back door, which leads from the foot of the peak to the Zen temple. There is a stone gate at the end of the mountain road. Xu Xiake recorded: "There are steps up from the stone crevice, sandwiched between two walls, quite like the Tianmen of Huangshan Mountain. The steps are poor and winding to the bottom of the rock. Because the rock frame house (referring to Baiyun Temple) is like a drum (peak) ..."
Baiyun Cave is one of the seventy-two famous caves in Wuyi Mountain. It is located to the north of Baiyun Temple and at the end of the Dolomites. On the top of the nearby cliff, there is a stone inscription "Bliss Paradise" carved on the cliff as a gift from Buddhist believers in the Qing Dynasty to the great monk Pengri, the abbot of Baiyun Temple. You can enter the cave by crawling along the cliff. Xu Xiake described the danger here: "At the end of the rock in the north, there is another rock that is particularly strange: there are cliffs above and below, and there is only a line of horizontal cols between the walls. You have to bend down and snake, and climb around the wall to get in. I will pass through the col. As you walk, the col becomes lower and the wall becomes more dangerous, then it becomes bent; the lower it becomes, the narrower it becomes, and the knees will bend like snakes. When it reaches the turn of the col, it is only seven inches above and below, and the outer wall of the col is only five feet wide and more than ten thousand feet deep. He crawled forward, rubbing his chest and back, and circled for a long time to get through the danger. There were stacks of rocks and fruits, and there was an ax chisel placed in the middle. Dong Tiangong of the Qing Dynasty also recorded: "There are boats and immortals inside." There is a fragrant stone underneath." There is only one "Zhangliang Cave Master Xuan Relic Pagoda" built in the 28th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1689).
Yuandu Temple is located at the right foot of Lingfeng Peak, surrounded by two rocks. There are several acres of farmland around the temple and the mountains are quiet. It was founded by Yu Yaopo, a Chong'an native in the Yuan Dynasty, and has been known as Lingfeng Taoist Temple and Lingfeng Temple. At that time, Li Zhenqiao, the prefect of Jianning, asked for the name to be changed to Yuanduguan. Zhao Mengfu, a Hanlin scholar, inscribed a plaque, which was later destroyed. In the 18th year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1482), the alchemist Wang Daoyuan rebuilt it, but it is now abandoned.
Hanyan is one of the famous ninety-nine rocks in Wuyi Mountain. At the foot of Lingfeng Peak, there is a cliff carving with the name of the rock written by Huang Shaozong in the 12th year of Jiajing (1533). According to legend, Qiu Gong achieved enlightenment here, so the mountain people call it "Qiu Gongyan". The rock wall slopes outward, forming an open cave called Qiugong Cave. There is a spring inside, which is inexhaustible all year round. The cave is one of the famous 72 caves in Wuyi Mountain. Engraved on the rock wall is "Mr. Donglai's Lecture Place", which is where Lu Zuqian, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, came to give lectures at the invitation of Zhu Xi, a Wuyi scholar.
Shilin Grottoes is one of the famous 72 caves in Wuyi Mountain. Follow the path around the left wall of Lingfeng Peak, follow the small stream for about three miles, and enter an open cave. The sloping rock blocks the sun, and it is located in a quiet place. On the edge of the rock, there are three words "Yin Yuan Rock" carved by an unknown mojo. The cliff rocks here are shaped like fish scales, hence the name. It is a good place for ancient people to live quietly.
Daoyuanzhou is located in the north of Jiuqu River. After Jiuqu River enters Xingcun, the stream divides into three forks, and then merges again. Sand and gravel accumulate at the confluence to form Zhouzhu. It stretches for seven or eight miles and is covered with lush trees. Within the island is the former site of Heyang Taoist Temple (later renamed Taihe Palace of Qingwei) built by the famous Taoist Peng Rilong in the Yuan Dynasty, so it is called Taoyuanzhou. Yu Ji, a scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, said in "Records of Taihe Palace in Qing Dynasty" that Peng Rilong (named Yinkong Taoist), a Taoist from Wuyishan who first built the Taoist temple, "had the foundation of Pengzu Houyun".
Xiafeizhou is located in Xinan, the starting point of the third pier of the Jiuqu River Rafting Tour. It is named because the clouds and clouds in the morning and evening reflect the vivid colors between the island and Zhugisa. The homophonic pictogram of the mountain people calls it Xiaweizhou.
Xianfanjie Bamboo Raft Pier is located on the southern shore of Xia Fei Island, close to the Ninth Song. Tourists can board rafts from here. The pavilions, cloisters and pavilions in the wharf buildings are exquisite and elegant, integrating seamlessly with the beautiful landscape. The pier also has a sound, light, and video exhibition room, where tourists can get a rough idea of ??Wuyi Mountain's scenic spots before rafting.
The Lion Grove and the Prophecy Stone are located in Xiafei Island in the southwest of Jiuqu.
Xianyan is next to Yunyan, and half of the rock is Biyun Nunnery. There is a high and steep rock in front of the nunnery, which is called Feilaishi. A small pavilion is built on the stone, which is called Xiang Pavilion or Rain Praying Pavilion. The banner rock is to the left of the big and small rocks, spanning more than 1 kilometer, surrounded by steep walls, shaped like a hanging curtain. In ancient times, tea farmers planted tea trees on the rocks, which was commonly known as Kueding tea and was of high quality. The water beach under the rock is called the shoal, which is the boundary between Jiuqu and Baqu.
