Go east along Minzu Avenue, the first road in the capital of Zhuang Township in Nanning City. Turn right at the exit of the expressway and enter Xianhu Avenue, passing through what were originally thatched grasslands and remote villages. The Xianhu Economic Development Zone, which has become a brand-new urban area, comes to Xianling Ridge, the remnant of Daming Mountain, the peak of South China. When you climb up to Xianling Ridge, turn around and look back at the mighty Yongjiang River winding to the west, you will see : Linggui Mountain is like a huge thousand-year-old turtle lying quietly on the river.
Linggui Mountain is not really a big mountain. After the Yongjiang River passes through the urban area of ??Nanning, it flows eastward. Here it suddenly encounters rolling hills, so it can only slow down its flow and head north. The surging Yongjiang River gently skirts the green grassy hills, then turns around and continues eastward. The surrounding hills were gnawed into a turtle shape by perennial running water, and Linggui Mountain was formed in this way. People may not know what "spirit" Linggui Mountain has. Adding the word "ling" before Guishan Mountain may be just for good luck. However, anyone who has seen Linggui Mountain is amazed by its turtle-like shape.
Linggui Mountain is located in the north of Yongning District, Nanning City, on the south bank of the Yongjiang River in Hehe Village, Pumiao Town. I don’t have a wide-angle camera, so I have to synthesize the scenery of the Linggui Mountain in Yongjiang, Nanning, Guangxi. The real feeling is like looking down from a high place. Only then can I appreciate the wonders of natural creation, the magical changes of heaven and earth, the twists and turns of the flowing water of Yongjiang River, and the hundreds of battles. The scenery is endless.
There is also a mythical story in Linggui Mountain. Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, a huge divine turtle came from the north, intending to go to the South China Sea to live a free and easy life as a god. When passing by this place, it found the scenery here to be beautiful and pleasant, so it lingered on it, and finally turned into Turtle Mountain. Linggui Mountain and the surging Yongjiang River are like a long snake surrounding a turtle, just like a turtle and a snake playing in the water. The huge turtle's back looks like a large gold ingot placed on the bank of the Yongjiang River. Standing on the mountain and looking out from the back of the turtle, you can see the lush mountains and the continuous mountains and rivers. You can only see the water coming from the Yongjiang River, but not the water going out. This is a geomantic treasure land. Because people dug land on the turtle's back and tail to grow crops, the turtle's back and tail showed large irregular yellow spots, which further showed the long history of Linggui Mountain. Look at the turtle head again. It has a neck, eyes, mouth, jaw, and cheeks. It has clear lines, sharp edges and corners, and is lifelike. What’s even more surprising is that there are several clumps of green bamboo growing on the turtle’s head, just like a huge green-haired turtle!
It is 1.5 kilometers away from the center of the village, surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. In the mountains, there are shrubs and forests, green pines and bamboos, bees and butterflies flying, birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Especially during the Qingming Festival, the mountains and fields are filled with azalea, yellow, blue, purple and white wildflowers. It is a complete natural flowerbed, and the climate is mild, making it like spring all year round. Turtle Back is a strange peak with commanding heights and steep cliffs. It is very spectacular. On the left side of the peak, there is a stone path from top to bottom to a clear spring 300 meters away. The water is pure and sweet. No matter whether there are continuous spring rains or even flash floods, the spring water It is not muddy, and it has been clear for many years. You will also find that the hillside composed of hundreds of stone turtles looks like a bigger turtle crawling. The direction of the big turtle and the small turtle is due east where the sun rises. In winter, when you look south from Linggui Mountain, you can admire the white snow at the Golden Silk Field, the main peak of Laojun Mountain, from a distance. There are also wonderful scenery in Linggui Mountain such as cliffs, isolated peaks, and flowers growing on the cliffs, which are also worth pondering. The mountains are like turtles, and the turtles are like mountains, leaping and playing on the blue waves, and the shapes and spirits are exactly the same.
The peaks on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are tall and straight, resembling human-like objects, in various shapes and forms, and the rapid changes make people overwhelmed. The flowing water of a river is surrounded by blue waves. Sometimes there are clear ripples, and the shadows of mountains and trees contrast with each other. Sometimes the water flows rapidly, and the waves crash against the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. Green mountains, green water, strange rocks, dangerous shoals, deep pools and waterfalls form a majestic and magnificent scenery that is hundreds of miles long. Boating there feels like "people are in a painting". It was a sunny day, with blue sky and white clouds, the mountains and waters were full of colors, the ancient trees and bamboos were luxuriant, the stone walls and dangerous peaks were colorful, and the wonderful scene of "clearly seeing the top of the green mountain and the boat sailing on the top of the green mountain" was even more intoxicating. And when the rain breaks down, in the smoke-like rain and mist, "the waves are confusing thousands of valleys, and the sea of ??mist hides thousands of peaks", the mountains are looming, the sky is blue after the rain, and the peaks peeking out from the clouds and fog are washed away. It is extremely clean, moist and refreshing. The clusters of buns are leaning against the snail plate, and the scenery is like an ink painting that is not yet dry.
In spring, the river is full of pink and the grass is green; in summer, the river breeze blows coolly, and the river is clear and blue; in the golden autumn, the maple forest is dyed, and the osmanthus is fragrant; in winter, the mountains and rivers are covered with silver, and the mountains and rivers are enchanting. People lament that "Yangchuan is full of paintings, and people live in the green lotus peak."
Facing the beautiful and moving mountains and rivers, it feels like you are in a peach garden, a cave in the sky, or traveling to a fairy palace in Yaochi. It is endless fun and endless fun. The mountains stand within the city, and the city melts into the mountains. The combination of the city and the mountains is so unrestrained and natural. "The mountains are beautiful because of the city, and the city is more amazing because of the mountains." What's more, the clear water surrounding the city and mountains is full of beauty. It embraces the ancient city with a clear stream as green as the sea, and connects the green mountains like jade hairpins, laying out a long ink scroll of "water surrounds green mountains and mountains, and mountains float green, water floats and mountains float". The sparkling waves reflect the green ancient banyan trees and new willows, the light smoke and mist, and how much dreaminess and confusion there are in the transpiration. The pagodas are exquisitely reflected, the bridges are quiet, the boats are sailing in the moonlight, the string songs are singing in the spring, and the two rivers and four lakes are particularly charming under the night.
