One of the tributaries of Xinxing River, * * * He Cheng, formerly known as Tianlu, is also called Yuan Xian because its source comes from rocks halfway up Tianlu Mountain, such as dew from the sky. Tianlu Mountain is a famous mountain, so the mountain range is called Tianlu Mountain Range. However, the highest peak of Tianlu Mountain is Tielu Mountain (elevation 1250 meters) located in Dongdong Town of this county, and the pronunciation of Tielu Mountain is similar to Tianlu Mountain. However, in the records after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the names of the two mountains were confused. Later, many people only knew that Tianmu Mountain was in Lidong, but forgot that the real Tianmu Mountain was originally built in * * *. Moreover, it is also wrong. People will take the meaning of "aquatic fairy source" and change Tianlu Mountain into "water source mountain".
* * * Cheng is the birthplace of the new preserved fruit "Huamei", and the original preserved fruit made here is also related to the unique geographical environment suitable for plum planting in * * * Cheng Mountain area. Behind the geographical environment formed by * * * is Tianlu Mountain Range, which is the first big mountain range encountered by the monsoon from the South China Sea to the north via Taishan and Enping. Due to the barrier of Tianlu Mountains, the annual temperature in mountainous areas is slightly lower than that in plain areas. Every year, typhoons in the northern part of the South China Sea are blocked by mountains, and the wind is weakened, which reduces the damage caused by typhoons to the local area, but typhoons bring abundant rain here. This unique climate environment is very suitable for the growth of green plums, so the quality and yield of green plums planted in * * * are better than those in other regions. * * * Cheng has a long history of planting green plums. As early as the Ming Dynasty, Yaoshan people who lived here began to grow green plums. At first, the main varieties were fire plum and big meat plum. During the Republic of China, * * * adults introduced Luo Gangmei from Xiaoluogang Town, Guangzhou, and planted it here. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the planting area of Prunus mume had begun to take shape. By the 1970s, * * * had developed and planted thousands of acres of mums. After the reform and opening up, preserved fruit processing once became a new characteristic industry, and the planting scale of preserved fruit raw materials continued to expand. Therefore, in recent years, a large number of local plum trees have been developed and planted, and the plum trees all over the mountains have become a unique landscape. Whenever plum blossoms are in full bloom, in this southern mountainous area, it is like seeing the snow scene in the north. Because of this, the emerging new eight scenic spots have a "water source fragrant snow". With the guidance of relevant county departments and the joint efforts of local villagers, villagers like Cao Tiancun are willing to improve the local tourism environment and open up mountain roads where cars can pass. Now you can drive directly from the front of the village to the foot of Shui Yuan Mountain. When you arrive at * * *, you can feel the original color and appreciate the natural wonders of the rolling mountains. Among them, Cao Tianshui's plum viewing is a must-see. In addition, there are many little-known wonders in the emerging mountainous areas.
The best time to enjoy plum blossoms is from winter to the next 10 days. From the first ten days of June, 5438 to February, 2007, friends from Foshan came to Xinxing for tourism. The author worked as a tour guide and took a group of white-collar workers who had lived in the city for a long time to explore and travel in * * *.
Driving all the way south from the county seat, gradually leaving the noisy urban area, after Cheng Wei, winding south along the highway in the reservoir area. * * * Chengshui Reservoir is the second largest emerging reservoir. The water surface, lawns and mountains set each other off, forming a landscape of water and sky. The closer to the destination, the fresher the air. When we get to the East Water Wave, we will go to the Water Wave Management Zone. The unique scenery in the mountainous area and the terraced fields covered with rocks are layered. There is the Sixth Ancestor Memorial Primary School donated by good people in Hong Kong in the 1990s. There is a large stone book collection stone on the roadside opposite the school playground. Cang Shu Stone is a famous stone in Xinxing County. It is a huge bread-shaped boulder, with a length of 14m, a width of 12m and a height of 9m. Strangely, there is a knife-like crack at the front of the boulder, which neatly separates the boulder. According to the local old man, the gap of this huge stone was still 50 or 60 centimeters wide decades ago, which could accommodate one person. The two walls in the gap were also engraved with several lines of irregular characters with clear handwriting, but no one could understand its meaning, so it was called "book-collecting stone", also known as "book-containing stone". In recent decades, the stone cracks have gradually closed, leaving only a crack of about ten centimeters, but it is a miracle that the vague stone inscriptions on the stone wall can still be seen from the tiny cracks. * * * The book "The Story of the Stone" also records the Zhaoqing government records during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. According to textual research, Tianlu Mountain was originally a place where officials from emerging counties prayed for rain in case of drought. The words on the stone may have been carved for rain in the Qin and Han Dynasties, so the meaning of the words is difficult to understand. However, with the change of geology, the cracks are gradually closed, and the characters of this strange stone are generally shy, hiding in the cracks to avoid human eyes.
After the stone set is the location of Xiangxue, one of the new eight scenic spots. * * * Plum trees are planted in many places, but Caotian Village, the last natural village in the east to the south, is the best place to watch plum blossoms. It turns out that Shan Ye here is barren, and farmers in mountainous areas have been guarding a few acres of barren land for generations. Nowadays, people in mountainous areas have found the way to development. The most successful thing for adults is to make new preserved fruits. They know how to use the unique climate and land resources in their hometown to grow large-scale green plums, the main raw material of new preserved fruits. This not only developed the economy, but also formed the spectacle of "fragrant snow". I saw plum trees planted in the pit in front of the village and the cracks in the cornerstone of the field, indicating that plum trees are full of vitality and more beautiful in winter. After the winter solstice, it is a good time to enjoy plum blossoms, forming a wonderful scene of "thousands of trees blossom and snow and fog cover the mountains". Although people are in the warm December in the south, they seem to be in the snow in the north.
Cao Tiancun re-entered Shui Yuan Mountain. After enjoying the plum blossoms, we went to the second destination and climbed the "Flying Wild Silkworm" Mountain. So I turned around, turned out of Shuibo Management Zone, passed Tianping Village, and went straight to Feishuikeng Village, the last village in the east and north of the city.
Unexpectedly, in a village only 30 kilometers away from the county seat, it has another original charm. Feishuikeng is an old mountain village in the county. In ancient times, it used to be a village where Han and Yao lived together. There is an ancient inscription "East Yao and West Min" in front of the village, which proves that this is an ancient village where Yao and Han live in harmony. Unfortunately, after the reform and opening up, the ancient monument was lost. Feishuikeng Village, also known as Feishuikeng, is built on the mountain, and the ancient stone houses are vertical and horizontal. The stream flies from the mountain behind the village and flows through the rock stream in front of the village. The Feng Shui forest in front of Bian Xi Village is a group of ancient trees, and several ancient banyan trees are flourishing. Sunlight shines on the ground through the dense branches and leaves like an arrow, forming an egg-like spot. One of the ancient banyan trees is even more magnificent, with a bust of more than 13 meters, and it takes eight or nine people to fold it. This huge banyan tree is bigger than the big banyan tree planted in the Ming Dynasty in Zhongshan Park, the county seat. It is an ancient banyan tree with the largest trunk diameter seen in Xinxing County. It is estimated that this tree is five or six hundred years old. It is really a treasure hidden in the mountains. There is a poem to prove it: there are few extraordinary heroes in the four dynasties. Dead branches have seen the prosperity of the Qing dynasty, and the trunk is Zhu's evidence. Flying water is a bow of Yao people in ancient times, and the person who planted this tree is not Han. It is a blessing for tourists to see that there are ten sons in the village.
Near Feishuikeng Village in Chengshan District, there are several peaks close to and exceeding the altitude of 1000 meters. The ancient village is located at the waist of the mountain surrounded by high mountains, and you can see all the peaks in the village, such as Shuiyuan, Shuangshiding and Tiantangping. After Feishuikeng Village, it is Xiangwo Tea Farm, the birthplace of emerging tea. Xiangwo tea enjoyed a high reputation in ancient times. In recent years, it has been invested and packaged by a large construction group in the county, which has started its brand and expanded its influence. The group also used Chayuanshan to invest in the construction of villas, and the project is currently under way. So we abandoned the car on foot at the villa site and set off from the mountain road to the mountain.
Due to the highland effect, many hilltops here are bare.
/kloc-it is difficult for trees to grow at the top of the mountain about 0/000 meters. Scenes that we have rarely or never seen before may appear in front of us. Just between the lines, a "big monkey" suddenly appeared on the top of a mountain near the mountain road, with a beautiful hat sticking out from the top of the mountain. I really don't know whether King Kong surprised me or whether the Monkey King stole time on the way to escort Tang Priest. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a big stone at the top of the mountain, which looked like the Monkey King with a hat.
Admittedly, there is another view from another angle. The mountain road we took was newly opened in recent two years. In fact, this giant monkey was originally seen by many people from behind a boulder more than ten meters high on the mountainside of Shuangshiding. But the shape of the big stone seen from this angle is monkey-shaped, which has never been found before.
Going forward, we passed two more valleys, and a towering mountain peak appeared in front of us. The top of the mountain is so high that it looks blurred to the naked eye. In the twilight, there seems to be a huge mandrill mask, with one eye open and the other closed, looking down at the guests at the foot. In the lower left corner of the ghost face, there stands a huge stone with three different Chinese characters written on it, which seems to be an identifiable "letter" in traditional Chinese characters. Is this the nature of heaven and earth? It is necessary to write a biography of the big "horse" we just saw with a gobbledygook. It's great to be here! In fact, this mountain peak is the second destination we are going to that day, "Flying Wild Silkworm". According to the records of Xinxing County, the flying wild silkworm is 863 meters above sea level, which is a mountain at the junction of Xinxing and Kaiping. Located in the east of Xiangsiwo Tea Farm in * * *, the mountains are distributed in two districts of * * * Chengcun and Rencun. The top of the mountain is a complete stone mountain, which looks like a huge silkworm, lifelike in shape and magnificent in momentum. Due to the division of rocks, a strange landscape like a ghost face appeared. And the gobbledygook standing on the top of the mountain turned out to be a boulder nearly twenty or thirty meters high. A kind of grass with particularly strong vitality grows between the cracks on the smooth stone surface, forming several large glyphs. There is a poem "Flying Wild Silkworm" that says: ice silkworm lies in Tianlu Mountain, and is a fairy class for thousands of years. Once the Tao becomes a sense of heaven, it flies away. It's good to still love the world. Leave a message for the chrysalis nest stone. I am destined to know a few words, which are for you.
It is estimated that no one has climbed this mountain for a long time, and there is no way to climb it. We can only squeeze through the yellow thatch overhead and go up, and we also see rare plants that we don't know about. After three hours' trekking, it's no doubt that you are exhausted, but on the top of the original ecological mountain at an altitude of nearly 1000 meters, every breath is so fresh and smooth. Finally, I reached the top of the flying wild silkworm, climbed very high, looked far away, and the mountain was very small. That feeling is beyond description.
