the long you grottoes

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.

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.
Sandiyan
"The peaks go to Longqiu Mountain, winding and rocky. One of the strangest is the three stacks, which are as high as a crown. " This is Yu Shaosong's poem about Sandie Rock. 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. Strange rocks hang in the air, caves are shallow and dangerous, and springs are constant all the year round. There are stone drums, "the depth of the blow resounds through the raft." The second cave is very spacious, like a hall, with a depth of several feet. The walls are chiseled into niches, and temples are built according to caves, including Hu Gongtang, Luohantang and Fang Shengchi. The third cave is on a steep wall, called Guanyin Cave, and there are thousands of Guanyin Buddha statues. Sandie Rock has a long history, which is another feature of the scenic spot. Buddhism began in the Song Dynasty, and Du Zong sent envoys to worship its mountains in the Southern Song Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, acceded to the throne, he was given the title of "Hall for Protecting the Country". Li Shixian, a servant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, once camped here and planned.
Ji Ming Hill
The site of Jiming Mountain is located in Jiming Mountain in the southern suburb of the county seat, which is about 200 meters long from east to west and 250 meters wide from north to south, with a total area of about 50,000 square meters. At the end of Song Jiayou, Fang Lu set up a school of righteousness at the foot of Nanshan, the county seat, and many people embarked on the road of literati. 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. Many stone tools are collected in the site, such as stone hairpin, perforated stone sickle, stone arrow and stone net pendant. There are many printed pottery with decorative patterns including mat pattern, striped feather pattern, checkered pattern, Yun Leiwen, back-to-back pattern and rope pattern.
