Longhu Mountain, a national key scenic spot, is located 20 kilometers southwest of Yingtan suburb, Jiangxi Province. This is one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, and it is also a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Last year, Longhu Mountain was rated as a national 4A-level scenic spot and a national geological park.
The long-standing Taoist culture, unique clear water and Dan Mountain, the wonders of cliff tombs that have never been solved and the unparalleled reproductive worship landscape here constitute the "four wonders" of the natural landscape and human landscape in Longhu Mountain Scenic Area. There is also an ancient town with a history of thousands of years-Shangqing Town, and a strange mosquito-free village, all of which make tourists feel a strange and mysterious power.
Shangqing ancient town
The trip to Longhu Mountain starts from the ancient town of Shangqing.
The ancient town of Shangqing is an ancient town with a history of thousands of years. It is located in the Shangqing Palace scenic spot, 25 kilometers away from yingtan city. The long-standing Taoist culture, unique scenic spots and historical sites and simple folk customs here often make ancient town collectors from afar linger.
The ancient town of Shangqing has a beautiful natural environment and is built by mountains and rivers. There are many places of interest in the ancient town. The 2-kilometer-long Shangqing Ancient Street connects Changqing Square, Liu Hou Family Temple and Tianshifu into a line, which is very attractive. The diaojiao building and the courtyard along the river show the architectural characteristics of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Village women, girls smashing clothes, children playing in the water, fishing boats and white ducks floating in the water constitute a charming ancient town landscape, which is pleasing to the eye. There are Shangqing Palace and Dongyue Palace in the town east, Xiangshan Academy, one of the four academies in the Southern Song Dynasty in the northeast, and Guizhou Village, the hometown of Xia Yan, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. It is the place where the Eleventh Red Army and the Central Red Army crossed the Luxi River during the Second Revolutionary Civil War.
Shangqing Palace, about 2km east of the ancient town of Shangqing, is the place where Tianshi offered sacrifices to gods in past dynasties, so it is called "the city of immortals" and "the place appointed by hundreds of gods". At the peak of Shangqing Palace, there were ten Taoist temples, 8 1 Taoist temples and 36 courtyards. Now there's only Dongyin Hospital left. There is a demon temple in the palace and a demon well in the town, which is the source of China's classic novel The Water Margin.
Xianshuiyan scenic spot
Longhu Mountain is a typical Danxia landform scenic spot in China. There are 99 peaks, 24 rocks, natural and cultural landscapes 108, and more than 20 kinds of deep wells, Danchi and Liu Quan Waterfalls. Beautiful and graceful Luxi River, like a jade belt, connects Shangqing Palace, Tianshifu, Longhu Mountain and Xianshuiyan into a line from south to north. Drifting along the Luxi River is like walking through a painting, which is very pleasant.
Xianshuiyan, located in the lower reaches of Luxi River, is the essence of Longhu Mountain landscape.
Xianshuiyan is the general name of Xianshuiyan and Shuiyan, which is 20 kilometers away from yingtan city.
Shuiyan is famous for its clear water and Dan Mountain. There are many strange rocks in Shuiyan Scenic Area, and the mountains and rivers set each other off. There are ten scenic spots in Shuiyan: Buddhist nun peak, lotus flower in calm water, lifelike Xiantao stone, jade comb stone in cross-flow pillow, Shaodan rock in Shi Tian, lifelike mushroom stone, unique bell and drum stone, revolving Daotang rock, colorful purple Cloud Mountain and the only Xiannv Rock in China.
Next to the water rock is the fairy rock. Gu Kuang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Fairy Rock": "The tower is green, and Yan Xian's family is in this city. There is no road in Xiancheng, and there is a sound among the flowers by the water. " The whole peak of Xianyan stands like a Tianzhu. Visitors who want to climb the summit must go through three mountain gates and climb 588 steps. Along the way, you can see more than ten scenic spots, such as Xianmou Stone, Xianshui Well, Xiangu Temple, Longhua Pool, and Qiyuan Palace in the Wind.
The top of Ren Xian Mountain is one of the best places to enjoy the panoramic view of salt water rocks. Visitors can watch "Hundred Birds Against Phoenix", "Phoenix Against the Sun" and "Lion Looking Back" in the east, enjoy the love of monks and nuns in the north, enjoy the scenery of the fields in the west and watch the "Seven-Star Arch Fight" in the south.
The cliff tomb, known as one of the wonders in the history of world culture, is located in the salt water rock of Longhu Mountain. According to scientific research, the cliff tomb has a history of more than 2,600 years, belonging to the ancient Yue people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. So far, the archaeological team has unearthed more than 200 precious cultural relics in the cliff tomb, including xylophone, textile machine, pottery, silk, lyre and other sacrificial supplies. The age, quantity, location and shape of the cliff tomb of Longhu Mountain are rare in the world. In what way was the coffin placed on the 100-meter cliff? There is no satisfactory answer to this question so far, which has become an eternal mystery.
In the Xianshuiyan Scenic Area of Longhu Mountain, there is also a peerless spectacle called "the only scenery in China, which is unparalleled outside China"-the male and female reproductive worship landscape, which can be described as the "treasure of the town house" of Longhu Mountain. On the banks of Luxi River, there is a stalagmite mountain with a height of 100 meters, which is called the Golden Gun Peak. It is amazing to see the wonders of nature. What's even more amazing is that there is a huge cave hidden behind Xianshuiyan, which is as high as seven or eight floors. Many people regard it as the embodiment of Mother Earth and the source of life, and think that Longhu Mountain hides the mystery of human life. This combination of heaven and earth, one yin and one yang, across the river, makes Longhu Mountain full of mystery, which has aroused the strong interest of countless tourists.
