The most famous place in Lianyungang is Huaguoshan Scenic Area, which is located in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. The gate of Huaguoshan Mountain was built in July 1996. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the mountain, the atmosphere of Journey to the West came to my face. The mountain gate is based on the skeleton of the traditional ancient city gate and is rendered by modern expression. The Monkey King's head is at the main entrance, and there is a circular pattern on the back, which symbolizes the perfection of merit. On the north side, there are four reliefs of Tang monks and apprentices learning from the scriptures. There are six carved lions at the bottom and 109 stone monkeys around the square to welcome guests. On the back of the mountain gate, Shen Peng, acting chairman of China Calligraphers Association, wrote the words "Dongsheng Shenzhou". Through the doorway in the middle, you can see the statue of Wu Cheng'en in the pine forest. Walk along Xianren Bridge, Zhujieling and Shibapan Mountain, or take a bus to the top of the mountain. There is a stone that looks like a carp on the side of Shibapan Road, with its head on the ground and its semi-dedicated body underground. According to legend, the ancient emperor was afraid of the instability of the country and sent many Yin and Yang teachers to visit and destroy Long Mai. On this day, one of them came to Yuntai Mountain, found the carp stone, and saw the first Tianmen on this ridge. He knew that carp would become dragons as long as they jumped over Tianmen, born in the mountain owner's house, and would rob the emperor's country when they grew up. Master Yin and Yang found the mountain owner and told him the truth. The mountain owner was very happy and asked how to make carp jump over Tianmen. Master Yin and Yang told him that he could fly to Tianmen conveniently as long as eighteen plates were put next to the carp stone. So the master hired someone to build eighteen plates day and night, and the Yin and Yang teacher left with confidence. It turns out that carp can only become dragons by jumping over Tianmen. If it falls on eighteen plates, it can only be a plate on earth, and the feng shui is broken like this. Climb eighteen episodes, the worse gate is not far away. In The Journey to the West, it is the outer door of the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Hall. Every time the Monkey King goes to heaven for help, he passes through here first. The old Guandi Temple in Nantianmen was destroyed by Japanese invaders. Lin Zexu visited before the Opium War, leaving behind three famous laws. Arrive at Jiulong Bridge from Nantianmen. Kowloon Bridge is one of the main scenic spots in Guo Hua. It is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. Nine streams meet at the foot of the mountain and then rush to the sea. In the past, pilgrims went down the Nantianmen path to the bottom of the valley, and after a short rest, they could continue to climb up. Although this drop of one liter increases the danger of mountaineering, it also increases the ups and downs. Jiulong Bridge, built in Ming Dynasty, is a massive brick arch bridge, which not only facilitates passers-by, but also leaves a beautiful work of art for future generations. Ginkgo biloba near the bridge has a history of nearly a thousand years and is a relic of the Song Dynasty. It covered the Kowloon Bridge with dense shade. The mountain breeze bursts on the bridge, the flowing water gurgles under the bridge, the pines and cypresses are full of ears, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the fatigue of tourists is completely eliminated. To the south of the bridge is the Kowloon General Temple, which is the bridge temple of this bridge; High in the north is the Tea Temple, which used to be reserved for tourists to rest and taste tea, but now it has been converted into the Wu Cheng'en Memorial Hall. Climb along the mountain road or take a cable car to Sanyuan Palace. Sanyuan Palace is the main temple in Yuntai Mountain and the main building in Guo Hua.
Water curtain cave is a natural fractured cave with an artificial tunnel leading to a lower platform. There are many precious inscriptions in front of the cave. The Buried Stone House was written by Daoguang in Qing Dynasty and presented to Prince Shaobao, the minister of war, and Tao Shu, the governor of Liangjiang. In the 12th year of Daoguang (1832), Tao Shu was ordered to come to Haizhou to reform the salt policy, which achieved remarkable results, and turned the Qing court treasury into a profit, and there was a short-term resurgence. So the emperor gave him the honor of kissing the name of the book. Three years later, Tao Shu once again came to Haizhou as an imperial envoy to inspect the effect of salt policy reform and started the repair work of Yuntai Mountain Temple, which made the scenic spots in this area suddenly look brand-new. In order to commemorate his achievements, the local people carved the imperial book "Buried Stone House" next to water curtain cave. The word "Lingquan" was written by Shi Yu during Jiaqing's reign. "Lingquan" refers to the small square well in the cave. Although the well is not big, there is water all the year round and drought will not dry up. Folklore mentions it. Located at the southern foot of Yuntai Mountain, it is an important part of Guo Hua. The natural scenery in the scenic area is peculiar and beautiful, the mountains and rivers are deep and unique, and the waterfalls in the four seasons are endless, especially the legendary Old Longtan, Erlongtan and Sanlongtan, and the dragon bed where the three princes of the Dragon King are buried, giving people a feeling of being in a fairyland. The old Longtan waterfall falls more than 40 meters, and tourists can reach it here. Waterfalls roll and splash, and flying beads splash jade. The Hidden Dragon Cave halfway up the mountain is a veritable water curtain cave, with grotesque rocks around the entrance and the water curtain hanging upside down at the entrance. Dongting can accommodate more than 20 people. Looking from the "Rainbow Observation Deck" near the entrance of the cave, you can also see the huge rainbow reflected by the Old Longtan Waterfall, and the scenery is spectacular.
