The Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou in Shan Hai Jing is the birthplace of She nationality and the best in South China.

Travel, photography, seeing the world, this is the original picture and text of the 938 th issue of soaking fish.

Shan Hai Jing, an ancient book in the pre-Qin period, said, "It travels five hundred and eighty miles eastward and is called Nanyu Mountain. There is a lot of treasure above and a lot of water below; Where there is a hole, water comes out, comes out in summer and closes in winter. With the help of water, the southeast flows into the sea, and there are phoenixes and young crickets. Nanyu Mountain is the Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou.

Phoenix Mountain is located more than 30 kilometers north of Chaozhou, known as the "roof of Chaoshan" and the highest peak in eastern Guangdong. If the weather is clear and the air is transparent, when you open the window in the urban area, you can see the main peak of the Phoenix Bird Bun standing in the sky in the distance, surrounded by auspicious clouds on the top of the mountain, "green as a rockhopper, riding the wind."

Phoenix, the king of birds in ancient myths and legends, is a sacred object representing good luck. In many chaozhou people hearts, Phoenix Mountain is not only the first peak in Chaoshan area, but also a sacred mountain, the birthplace of 700,000 She compatriots, and there are many unknown secrets hidden here.

From fenghuang town to Fenghuang Mountain, there is a newly-built uphill highway in the scenic area, which spirals all the way up and the steep slope bends sharply. However, for security reasons, this road has checkpoints and is not open to the public. If you want to drive up the mountain, the navigation will prompt you to take a narrow and steep old road. A friend of mine drove the path according to the navigation, but he called me in the middle of the night and said that he was stuck halfway up the mountain and could not advance or retreat. In fenghuang town Neixing Tourism Distribution Center, there is a special scenic spot, sightseeing bus, including tickets for each scenic spot, 60 yuan, and transportation on and off the mountain is inexpensive.

If you want to shoot the sunrise on Phoenix Mountain, you should either leave fenghuang town at midnight or live on the mountain. There is a summer resort in Wuyishan, a branch of Phoenix Mountain. Is a well-equipped Chaoshan theme room, conference, leisure resort hotel.

This location is opposite to Phoenix Bird Bun, the main peak of Phoenix Mountain, and only four or five minutes' drive from Phoenix Tianchi, so I booked a room in advance. When you check in at the front desk, the reception brother will introduce the mountaineering route of shooting the sunrise in great detail, which feels so intimate.

Get up at 5: 30 in the morning, drive to the back of the hotel, the morning light is faintly visible, and quickly set the camera and wait for the sunrise.

The glow of the sky awakens the silent valley, and all kinds of red flames generate come out, making the mountain scenery picturesque.

Sunlight penetrates the clouds, and the beam pours down, as if giving people infinite power.

"Three mountains, six seas and one land, the crows in the world are generally high." Looking at the clouds in the sky, the beautiful scenery is panoramic, which makes people relaxed and happy.

After filming the sunrise, I went back to the hotel. The restaurant has made a superb Chaozhou kway teow. I can catch up with Xiangyang beef noodles in my hometown in such a big bowl.

After breakfast, I made a cup of congou tea in my room and watched the scenery while drinking tea, which was full of immortal life.

Tianchi, the peak of Wuyi Mountain, is the most charming place in Phoenix Mountain. Summer and autumn are the best places for camping in summer. Wuyi Mountain is the second peak of Phoenix Mountain, with an altitude of 139 1 m. Standing on the platform, the majestic main peak, Phoenix Bird Bun, is just in front of you, as if within reach.

"I would like to be a guest of phoenix tea mountain, not a drunk fairy for apricot flowers." To reach Phoenix Tianchi, you need to climb more than 800 steps on foot, and there are ancient tea trees all over the mountain. Wu Tong Village in Fenghuang Mountain is the origin of oolong tea Fenghuang Dan Cong, and now there are more than 3,000 400-year-old ancient tea trees, which is a unique landscape.

With great efforts, I finally saw the legendary Phoenix Tianchi, raised the drone, and accidentally found more than one Tianchi on the top of the mountain.

"The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name; The words written by Liu Yuxi 1 0,000 years ago when he was demoted to Anhui and Hezhou as generals were also applicable to Phoenix Tianchi.

Phoenix Tianchi was called "Bathing Fairy Pool" in ancient times. Its area is not large, but spring water gushes all the year round. The water in the bay is unusually clear, and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in it, which is particularly beautiful.

Surprisingly, the Phoenix Mountain Tianchi is located at the top of the mountain. It has no fixed water source, but it is abundant all year round and never dries up. This is rare.

Some people say that Phoenix Tianchi is a natural lake formed by an ancient crater, while others say that it is formed by depressions or fault layers in the earth's crust. One thing is certain, however, that the Phoenix Mountain was formed by the compression, distortion and uplift of the Pacific plate and Eurasia. There are many granites and rhyolite in the mountains, so it is not easy to store surface water in such geological structures. So, where does the water in Tianchi come from?

The local old man said that the water in Tianchi was from the sky, because Tianchi gathered the aura of the whole Phoenix Mountain. Phoenix Tianchi is the place where the Queen Mother and the Nine-Day Fairy bathe. As long as the water in the South China Sea does not dry up, Tianchi will never stop flowing.

There's something even more amazing. It is said that there is an ancient four-legged divine fish living in Tianchi Lake, but no one has ever caught it, and it has been covered with a mysterious veil.

Tianchi is surrounded by nearly a thousand acres of natural grassland. Although it is early winter, it is still full of green.

"Pushing thousands of spins, even the peaks meet the phoenix. The mountains are deep and simple, and the valley is cool in autumn. Waterfalls wear dangerous rocks, and autumn fields sow thousands of seedlings. Several families live by the water, and you are so good in Lintang. " This is a romantic scenery that Qiu, a patriotic poet in the late Qing Dynasty, painted for us after visiting Phoenix Mountain. At this time, in my mind, there is only that saying: "Infinite scenery is at a dangerous peak", and Phoenix Mountain is worth visiting.
